In reply to Lucion. Great point - the humor elements were a big part of the series' charm.

I certainly hope it retains the humor and absurdity of the Red Alert I remember. We shall see if they can cram that into such a small package.

The graphics look nice. As good as the original I believe, and very colorful.

My only concern is the controls. Civ is a much more deliberate game; not quite the RTS action of C&C. It's going to be tough to translate a lot of the nuance to the iPhone. Still, I'm looking forward to giving this a shot.

In reply to FrankCatalano. Battery slurpage = true that. I have not seen anything on what its price will be as yet.

I have purchased Civilization already & Red Alert will be a great addition. I am a BIG fan of strategy games so this is awesome news. I think these types of games work great on a platform like the iPhone. I wonder if Microsoft will come out with Rise of Nations next? Patrick do you know how much this app is going to cost? I will have to buy a battery powered case now…..You can kill your battery power quick with these types of games.
