I agree with that - for single player (I haven't played enough multi-
player games to comment on that aspect). The only game to match RA was
the original C&C.

The thing that made the C&C games stand out from the crowd that followed
was the plot (and the quality of the videos). TS was the first in the
series to abandon the "individual briefing" format and, as a result,
lost the C&C feel. RA2 tried to get that back with limited success - the
format was right but an element of childishness was introduced to the
graphics and gamely. Generals (which I am now halfway through) is even
worse in that respect - brightly coloured cartoon characters flying
through the air when their vehicle is destroyed is so "naff" as to be
laughable. So far I'm (just) managing to suspend my disbelief - but I
very much doubt that I'll be buying any further titles in this series.
