Naturally I was estatic of the news of the remaster. SEing the great jobs the programmers did to those games made me wish a C&C remaster even more. The hope strengthed when starcraft got its remaster and AoE 1 and later 2.

I still played RA2 and Generals, but now I had a silent hope they would remaster the series. This time i also thought the early games was dated, but I suddenly discovered the quality and charm about them. Then as an adult I bought the total collection and started playing again. I have later briefly played the original C&C and RA, but never got that much into it since i thought it was dated compared to RA2. And I didn't get on the c&c train until RA2, which I loved from start to finish ( and later on generals, but thats anothert story). I played dune 2 to the end of the world and back again. Then as an adult I bought the total collection and Well, where to start. So if you want a true "remaster" of a classic, and not a "re-imagining", grab this game and see how other companies should do it. Plus, the team worked with the community to create the remaster. They even went and included content from the console version of the games that PC players originally did not have access to. 2 Complete games and all associated DLC are included. At $20 bucks, this is well worth the money.

The soundtrack is amazing and graphically there is a clear upgrade while not throwing out the original style or feel (zoom in if you want to see more detail). They did a great job up-scaling the original videos, the will not win any awards, but for what they had to work with it is impressive. They game is a faithful remaster of the original, with bonus content galore and modern quality of life features. But other than this little issues, I'm pretty happy. They did a great job It's not perfect, I've run into a few graphical bugs here and there, changing in settings did not work at first (hit enter, not the button in the menu), default game speed is SUPER fast for my taste.
