   Nailed it! The controls, the campy cutscenes, and all the rts goodness you can possibly get. I'm not a big fan of console RTSs but this one is done very well. It's surprisingly easy to play given the limited range of control that a joypad provides. Good times all around… Expand

   This is everything Red Alert 3 should be. I believe that with this game EALA has done Westwood proud. It retains the same proven and fun gameplay from Red Alert 2, and it manages to keep the silliness, corniness etc without going overboard which is what I was afraid of. My only complaint? The campaign missions are strung together horribly! In Red alert 2 you had an idea of what was going on in the world and where you were going for your mission. It always felt like there was a reason for going there. In Red alert 3 the missions seem totally random and I have no clue whats going on in the war. Where did the Japanese invade? How much of Russia do they hold? How much of Europe is left under allied control? Who knows because the only time you see a map with countries listed is in a cinematic, but they didn't even bother to make it fit with the RA universe. Its a world map straight out of 2008 with Russia's current borders. But the campaign missions ARE extremely fun and the AI isn't bad at all. I do highly recommend playing them online though as that is how it was meant to be played.… Expand

   Really don't know what to say about this besides that it feels nothing like a C&C Game. I really don't know what EA were thinking (Probably another way to crucify the C&C franchise) When I first played this, I didn't bother with the campaign. This was mainly because it looked like it destroyed the point of Red alert 1 and 2! So Instead I decided to try some Skirmishes to see what the factions were like. And I was Disappointed. It felt so off from what I Expected that I couldn't even take it seriously. Never the less, it still carried problems from the Tiberium series, being the AI Magically knowing exactly what you are doing. So for Red alert 3 I say it depends on what you want. For me, I'd only get the game just for the Soundtrack, cause that, at-least that makes it feel like Command and Conquer!… Expand

   Very poor and repetitive mission design makes this game worth missing. Many of the missions are guiding one or two units around a map - the build a base and build a force missions are the exceptions rather than the rule. They still haven't figured out how to get an RTS to work on a console and you'll spend a long time selecting the wrong unit. Missions are mostly working out which particular hoops to jump through at what time rather than allowing you to develop your own strategies. Deviate from EA's plan and you'll have to reload and start again.… Expand
