Red Alert is back and looking better than ever. IGN had the first hands on of the game and when they got to some of the ground units, it seems they were taking a bit of a more 'unhinged' approach than the older games. Red Alert was never the most realistic game, what with Echo Emitter Dolphins and Commandos that could take down bases with a single desert eagle. This time however, the craziness is being kicked up a notch to include, yes, you heard me.. Parachuting bears! Oh and lets not forget the Psychic Japanese School girls too.

''Tesla-armed stingrays, aircraft carriers, dreadnaughts and more. And for fun, there are dolphins with sonic emitters. Fans of the animal kingdom can also look forward to parachuting armored bears and attack dogs. There are about 70 units in the game, so we're barely scratching the surface here.''

--------------------

''The Japanese are being kept hidden away for now, but we're told that it is heavily influenced by pop culture and can expect everything from mecha (giant bipedal war machines) to what looks like a Japanese schoolgirl with some kind of psychic powers; the latter is apparently the Japanese equivalent to the Allies' Tanya commando unit. (We did note that Red Alert is more than a bit about camp, right?''
