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.

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
- New units, the new campaigns are fun, especially the Yuriko Omega, a few cool new music themes;
- Roughly the same experience as before, AI quirks, lack of multiplayer and co-op.

Parachuting bears and psychic schoolgirls are just the beginning of the bizarre fun that waits in EALA's terrific new RTS. Read more
- Great art and unit design; fun cut-scenes and story; solid strategic design; co-op mode; terrific music.
- Simplistic single-player mission design; not much strategic depth.

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.

- Co-op campaigns are great, Cut-scenes, Cheezy!
- Easy difficulty a compromise towards consoles?, Pathfinding, Co-op invite system is clumsy

Red Alert is back, and its over-the-top style delivers a great RTS experience. Read more
- Three interesting, well balanced factions, each with their own campaign; can play through the entire story co-operatively; sharp visuals and a surprisingly good soundt...
- Some minor pathfinding issues; cheesy style might not be appreciated by all.

Red Alert 3 takes players on an epic RTS adventure to an alternate future spawned by time travel run amok, featuring a fully co-operative campaign, the series' light-hearted style and classic, action-oriented gameplay. Read more

Now with 100% more armored animals The Red Alert series has never been about a realistic portrayal of warfare. However, the latest installment, Red Alert 3 seems intent on taking ridiculousness to the next level. Hot on the heels of its increasingly distant sibling, Red Alert stands in stark contrast to C&C3’s attempt at a gritty depiction of a world consumed by conflict. Does this mean I didn’t like the game? Read more

Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 isn't the greatest RTS game on the market right now. And, as far as gameplay is concerned, it is as traditional and standard as they come. However, what it lacks in the way of new gameplay design, it makes up for in flavor, attitude, and exaggeration. While these elements have mostly to do with the style of the game rather than the gameplay, they certainly contribute to the fun factor. Read more

Play it with a mate and it's a lot of fun, but there's little RTS innovation here. Read more
- Lovely graphics, Co-op campaign is great fun with a friend
- Little real innovation, Pathfinding problems

A disappointing co-commander system, and poor art style doesn't result in a good sequel to a great franchise. Read more
