Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3

Any game in which a giant laser cannon pops out of Teddy Roosevelt's head on Mt. Rushmore is a winner in my book...Red Alert 3 is a highly polished game that doesn't take itself the least bit seriously, and co-op play might jus be the next big thing in RTS. [Holiday 2008, p.62]

The co-op nature of the campaign sets it apart. Every single mission (and there are enough to deliver dozens of hours of playtime) has two commanders working side by side, and it’s an absolute blast to pound the AI with a buddy.

Red Alert 3 was never going to be genre-redefining game, but there can be no doubt that it has proved to be a damn good laugh.

Classical, colorful, challenging: Red Alert 3 offers only little new. Instead we get solid strategy, funny comic graphics and very pretty ladies.

Red Alert 3 is at first a very enjoyable, fun and a more than decent RTS game. The three factions all pack a punch and equally offering you enough depth gameplay wise, without being to unbalanced. Over-the-top action was never this much fun and this is just the thing that makes Red Alert 3 one of the best RTS games ever. And that's something that even the little flaws can't prevent.

It’s similar enough to Red Alert 2 to feel really comfortable and though there’s been a lot of extra things added to the toy box (and not all of them work), it’s still fun.

It has the same lack of subtlety and rapid pace - plus it looks better. But it comes off as an average and unnecessary entry in the series.

I recently revisited this Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 and am pleasantly surprised at just how well the game has aged. The story and lore are just as deep and thorough as I remember and the campy, and sometimes hammy, performances of the real-life actors in the cut scenes still feels right at home with A-list actors shoved into a gloriously low-budget production. While Generals and the Tiberian series still rank higher in my book, this comes in right after them while being among my top 5 RTS of all time.

Competent execution, decent mechanics, but doesn’t quite hit the mark. Can be a bit dull occasionally, but, overall, worth a try.

Interest game. Especially, film in there. Actors play so interesting. But for me this game had so difficultly and I didn't had experience for finally it.

After a very enjoyable reply of StarCraft II I gave C&C RA II another chance and was just as disappointed the second time. Many people wonder what happened to RTS games. All they need to do is play this camping garbage to understand. The solo mission are just terrible with no choice. You have to do exactly what the game wants at the start of every mission. The invisible walls that this game has and that SCII does not is why the studio was scrapped and RTS is at an all time low. Learn from their bad example!

The game is good, and has humour. But it's nothing like the old RA games from Westwood. If you enjoyed those games, and think about buying this, you really should see videos first. As stated by others, it's more comical (With the graphics), has more loose humour, and alot of eye candy, which personally in my opinion is just to attract young teenagers into buying the game. One thing I noticed when I played, was that the troops in the game (like a conscript), when killed, the corpse will remain on the ground for quite abit unlike other games. The bodies can even be flinged or moved around after the unit/s die. I was annoyed that there wasn't a map generator in it like the previous RA games. Luckily, the nets provided a map generator mod for the game. I would not recommend this game more than the old games. Nothing will ever beat the old Westwood games.
