Who here did NOT expect a big censorship run here? But I agree, it's ridiculous that they updated the box- if anything, it makes them look like they're doing it for accuracy's sake-and thus serving as a reminder that the WTC isn't there. I'd much rather seen a game box pretend to blow it up in the year 2500 than a box with the World Trade towers conscientiously whited out- one is an inoffensive cliche, the other is treating us like easily-upset mental patients.

Let's keep in mind that Einstein eliminated Hitler in the original Red Alert and therefore changing history.  So they could be there when the Soviets invaded.

Actually, I have the European version. The picture I posted was a photo I took of the inside cover, the part of the box that opens up like a book.

I thought all the European RA2 releases came in DVD cases...

you've misunderstood this...

The new Red Alert 2 box doesn't feature ANY cityscape anymore, but simply a mocked radar image with a red filter over it (Yellow for Yuri's box-art)

 

notice no buildings

Oops... my bad. I forgot that we had someone bring over the game from the States...
