Cartoony as hell. I know the Red Alert universe is far from realistic, but they went over-the-top on this one!xD Case in point: Chrono-shifted timebombs, Armored war bears, Submarine-turning-aircraft, Tanya with a 5-second time-machine belt, a Psychic Japanese Schoolgirl, and a ton of other crazy units!
Graphics are uberly colorful, and the graphics engine is kinda dated, but those water effects are awfully cool.
Best part? Live-action cutscenes! That and... 8 pretty femmes. Yes, seven. All with cutscenes. (Tanya, Natasha, Eva, Lisette, Zhana, Yuriko, etc.)
