Its theme (OST, menu design, cutscenes) makes this game a beauty, however the core gamplay was better in ra2.

Soundtrack kicks ass, great cutscenes with really great actors, kind of a funny story, but no excitement in gameplay whatsoever. I wouldn't even played the game if it wouldn't be for the menu design. I'm not a russian and i am not a fan of metal music, but I've used ra3 as winamp a lot of times.
Now the core gameplay is a bit complicated at first sight but after two hours of constant playing you'll get to know it better and it seams easy (well if you play with the little yellow people, they are the most superior in technology).
The funny part is that this game emphasises on soviets and not on alies.
Graphics are a disapointment, so you have a menu that is dark themed and really nasty, and when you enter a battle you feel like you're on a playground or kindergarden.

To summarise: this game might be worth your time if you would be the biggest fan of the series.
