Okay this is a demo so this will be a short review from me. This game really captures a red alert or command and conquer feel quite well. It did better than I expected actually.

Presentation:
Well really, there is no real presentation since it is a demo. Just a title screen with 3 levels and quit option, not bad, but not good enough. Even if it just a demo, you should make your demo look as good as your final product will be.

Gameplay:
The gameplay can be a little bit confusing at first, I mean theres no way to know what units to what and whatever. It took me awhile to figure out how to build stuff, and I still dont know what buildings do what really.
Okay, the way the units fight and move is great. Almost up to par with the first command and conquer... maybe. One problem though, the enemy doesnt react at all. Their units just stand there. In one of the levels if I attacked their tanks, wouldnt the second line of tanks come up to help out? Just a thought.
The map system is pretty good, but the terrain on the map could somehow be implimented to work on the map so you know where cliffs are etc.

Lastability:
Lastability isnt that good in this demo. Although it had me hooked for maybe up to a half hour while I was trying to figure out what to do and how to play. You should really include a help menu or read me. Or maybe there was one and I missed it, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

Overall:
This could be a very promising game if some things are improved and if other things are kept the same. The graphics are okay and the gameplay is looking pretty good. Just fix some things like the multi-samples when highlighting a group of units. And maybe some more voice samples on a randomizer to give it some more feeling. Good luck on completing the game.
