Compared with the previous series, the game improved graphics and multiplayer.
As in its predecessor, the opposing sides in the game are the Soviet Union and the Allies, in addition, some units and structures are identical to the original of the first Red Alert, and some - have changed (so, the mammoth tank was turned into a tank 'Apocalypse'). The game takes place in the parallel world created by Albert Einstein in 1971-1972, continuing the storyline of the Allies from the original Red Alert.
