Hilarious!!
If you thought the cutscenes in Kane's Wrath were cheesy you should see what RA3 has to offer. This time around EA games has dropped all pretense of seriousness for its most rambunctious and politically incorrect release to date.
In short, the Soviet high command, on the verge of losing the war against the allies, travel back in time to kill Einstein before the invention of nuclear physics. Hilarity then ensues...
What would you have envisioned modern warfare to look like without nuclear energy? Would you have thought of Japanese imperial troopers in Gundams? Well that's just one of many things EA has come up with. The combination of wacky units designs, off-beat unit responses, and over-the-top, live-action cutscenes filled to the brim with melodrama , those of you who enjoy that kind of slightly childish humor would find RA3 highly entertaining.
Unfortunately, the emphasis on humor also draws the player away from the game. There is something surreal about leading an assault with dozens of missile-mounting dolphins. In the end it is not a game you are likely to get into.
When it comes down it, RA3 is a great game to relax with after work for a few hours... but you won't be staying up past your bedtime playing it.
