Buggy multiplayer, cheesy acting, very uncreative storyline, okay graphics, classic Red Alert gameplay

Red Alert 3 overall, is a satisfying game in gameplay but fails in one area, story. The story is the biggest faliure I have ever seen in games. Its basiclly recycled from the last two Red Alert games. There are also errors in the plot. For one, Einstein may have been eliminated (who invented the Chrono technology for the allies), but there is still chrono technology in the game. Another problem I have with the game's story is how random the Rising Sun faction appears. How on Earth the Rising Sun is created by Einstein's dissapearance, I will never know.

Gameplay is great on it's own with the classic fast pace base building and war. Each faction is very unique with each of it's own unique weapons. There are many units to choose and it does not take long to learn it's advantages. With any multiplayer game of strategy games, if you enter the game lately, you will probally get slaughtered by more experienced players, like me.

Graphics aren't the best in the world, but are resonable enough.

Multiplayer is fun with the simple matches. Unfortunattly, the bugs and issues kill the fun for me. Sometimes, I am forced to restart my computer because Red Alert 3 will not shutdown after a player dissconnects or at least for a while then the continue screen appears. Though, the rest of the issues rely on human nature and cannot be blamed on the game.

Like the whole westwood franchiese, the missions use pre-game movies to describe the missions. The acting can be very cheesy but are somewhat amusing to watch. Red alert 3 does not fail, but I wish it could do better.

    I've been waiting six years since Yuris Revenge, FOR THIS CRAP!? I don't think the Westwood team was involved in this project at all. EA has dumbed this game down. Yes the premise of this game was always campy, but the g... Read Full Review
