The fun commenced during the tutorial, which included talking tanks instructing players through six training sessions covering the basics, base building, units, powers, tactics, and introducing and explaining how co-commanders operate. I fully expected to spend plenty of late night hours hunched at my computer playing, and I was not disappointed. All these have made Command & Conquer a long-standing classic series, and Red Alert 3 once again brings it all home for us fans.įrom the start, when the game begins with the iconic sounds of the Hell March, I was smiling, remembering the many long hours of gaming goodness I’ve had with the former Red Alert games. It has all the hallmarks that have come to be expected from the previous games: strategic RTS action, engaging multi-player maps, outlandish weaponry, and quality actors giving the campiest performances of their careers. Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 is no exception. RA3 does an excellent job at providing some serious strategic gameplay, while tactfully never taking itself too seriously.įun! There’s not a much greater accolade I can throw at the entire Command & Conquer series than to say they are downright fun.
Passed Inspection: Incredibly well balanced units, huge variety of tactics to employ, and very fun.įailed Bootcamp: Camera focus in a little too close, lackluster final ending. But anyone expecting new gameplay features will be disappointed.Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 – PC Game Review By Jim H. The graphics and sound are much improved but the gameplay is pretty much exactly the same.įans of the series will enjoy Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3's graphical improvements and comedic moments. But Red Alert 3 really isn't that different from Command & Conquer 3, or Red Alert 2 for that matter. Sure, the vehicles and units have been shaken up a bit (including the bizarre War Bear addition for the Soviets), and Japan has been added to the roster of competitive powers. what Red Alert 3 is really missing is something new. The sound, video and acting are all of superior quality, making the game feel like a really well-rounded product.Īt the end of the day, though. We thought we detected slightly higher CPU and GPU load in this title over Command & Conquer 3 but this caused nothing more than minor glitching with the maximum settings applied. The movie also introduces Red Alert 3's main addition: the Empire of the Rising Sun, a new playable power bent on world domination.Ĭommand & Conquer: Red Alert 3 makes use of the new graphics and 3D effects that were unveiled in last year's Tiberium Wars title, meaning that C&C fans will already be completely familiar with the game's controls and appearance. As in previous editions of Red Alert, this latest version pits the Soviet Union against the Allies and manages to pack time travel, nuclear weapons and a hilariously high-camp series of performances into its 7-minute introductory movie.
