I've decided to spend AUD$90 on a game and I can't decide between the two above. Anyone played either of them and care to give me an opinion?

Cannot help you as I have only heard of these games. But Red Alert is a sequel in the Command & Conquer series, isn't it ? Have you played the other C&C games ?

But 90 AUD ? Does anyone know the exchange rate between AUD and $ ? I think 90 AUD would translate to around 110 German Marks and that would mean that games in Australia are about 20-25% more expensive than in Germany. And that without the special costs for translation ?

Hmm, well I have played both and I didn´t like Red Alert, more of a Star Craff fan, but Fallout BROS is good, more groupbased combat. Lotsa fun, you can do all thoose things you couldn´t do in Fallout 1 and 2, decide what your followers should and shouldn´t do. True to the bone too. I liked the demo alot. Red Alert though is still another Industrial warfare system with new units, the same basics. Booring... IMHO, I know there are alot of Red Alert fans out there so please, don´t try to flame my tail..

But BROS is way cooler! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif

You’re telling me. That’s the minimum price of a new game here. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/frown.gif On the other hand HOW was selling for AUD $29 ($14 US).

Memmy,

just trying to understand the currency rates here, but if 90 AUD = $45, which is about £30, then Australian prices are comparable with British ones, and you get all that extra shipping, so think yourself lucky! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

I was operating under the wrong assumption that the exchange rate between AUD$ and Mark was about 1:1,3, but if AUD $29 equals US $ 14, the rate would actually be much closer to 1:1 and since brand new games cost between 80 and 90 marks the prices are apparently quite comparable.

Go for C&C red alert 2.
It's the best!
And if you like to play online this is the best game to do it(EXe.BG2)

Go for Tactics.
Red Alert 2 is a real disapointment

Tactics is really good. I assume you've read about/played both of them so I wont explain it.

Never played Fallout, but I thought the C&C series was great. However paying $45(US) is a bit much. I keep seeing it in our discount stores for around $20. I have played all the C&C games and have the disks/books, probably wouldn't be much to send them to you if you want to save the costs of buying new. Email me if you want and we can see.

It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear ignorant,
than open it and remove all doubt!

Not seen Red Alert2, but Fallout Tactics comes across as a very nice cross between Fallout and Jagged Alliance. I got bored with the C&C series, so I haven't looked at that

A co-worker of mine is in love with Fallout Tactics. He recommends it highly, and is trying to convince me to get it. I just finished HoW, so I'm ready for a new game http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif
