More of the same, but still some fun times and good moments.

I've been playing this style of RTS game since Dune II came out and have played almost all of them. C&C RA3 isn't anything new, but it was still an entertaining game. I waited until this one was $29.99 before purchasing and I'm happy I did, primarily because it's far from a revolutionary game and I knew so by the title and screenshots.

The game itself runs very smooth with highest graphics settings in 1680x1050. I run lots of programs in the background and ALT-TAB works just perfectly without crashes. In fact, I never encountered any crash with this game - it's highly stable. Storyline is entertaining, and the choice of actors was great, especially good choice of hot militant chicks is never a negative thing. ;) I played on normal difficulty and found it to be just right.

It took a bit of work managing the computer 'teammate' which would basically setup base on the other side of the map and battle it out along with you. I prefer solo, when I click that 'solo' button before starting the mission. This led me to believe the game is geared more towards multi-player. It also lacked the 'info' button on buildings. There were a couple of buildings I had questions about how they worked and what they did exactly and it just took some time to figure out on my own. Units had this option so maybe they can work on this for buildings in future releases.

So far I have played the Soviet and American campaigns all the way through and finished a couple Rising Sun missions. I like the diversity in storyline and units. Each campaign offers a great play through which will keep you going for hours.

Overall the game is worth the money I spent and I'm satisfied. I'm glad I waited a couple months to get the lower price. Since there are so many other more unique games out recently, I was able to hold off on this.
