    Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 brings new things to the C&C red Alert series, which is a good thing, overall the gameplay is great, and all of the eye candy, including the scantily clad babes is well worth it. Cleavage aside though, red Alert 3 does justice to the series, with many new features, and a game that is very enjoyable and fun to play, the added co-op mode adds quite a  bit more fun to the game and replay value as well.

    In the end Red Alert 3 has some good and bad things. It isn't the best RTS out there, it's got some issues with pathfinding and the additional features of the units need too much micro-management in order to be really of use. Also it seems the slower economy and easier AI are compromises to allow easier play on consoles which doesn't help the PC version at all and rather turn it into a cartoon version of itself than become better than its predecessor, RA2.

    You may enjoy the four main campaigns like we did (the Yuriko Omega chapter is great and feels quite different from regular C&C scenarios). However, there won't be much to take up your time once you're done. Read more

    All in all, Red Alert 3 is a great game. It does the Command and Conquer name proud in delivering a thrilling, strategic gaming experience, as well as keeping the over-the-top style found in Red Alert 2. The delightfully cheesy FMVs are a joy to watch, and after you’ve completed all three campaigns with a buddy, there’s a ton of fun to be found in the multiplayer. If you enjoy real time strategy games, and aren’t looking for a super serious experience, then Red... Read more

  1. "Turning of a masterpiece into unscrupulous ridicule"

    This game is an abomination; an abuse of the red alert universe. And a mockery to old fans. Taken from the red alert 3 review itself; "Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 doesn't take itself seriously, but that's what makes it so much fun to play." At least you are honest abour RA3 doesn 't take itself seriously. The concept of its units and their combat abilities is moronic at best. Red Alert was all about twisted science and secret technology, dealing with real or... Read more

    Fun: This is an alright game. I haven't had problems with Securcom, but the co-op partner seems to be unnecessary through most of the game. there are glitches and it slows down, but it works most of the time. I'm just going to play it until i'm through with it. Read more
