My skills had rusted some to say the least, but by the end of the main campaign, I was ready and able to handle the final battle, with only some minor troubles.
It had been some time since my last RTS, so I began on Easy, and was quite impressed with the seemingly relentless AI. Three difficulty modes allow the replay of the entire campaign to be vastly different. Nine campaigns are included with each faction, with a multitude of varying missions within each campaign. Campaign mode is the greater part, where players can combat their way through a twisted story of a world war mixed in with a bit of time travel involving the Soviets, Allies, and the Empire of the Rising Sun. RA3 comes complete with the standard fare of RTS gameplay options, but the hook is how very well done these are, one of the main factors that have this series among the top in the genre. As with the majority of the game, the voice overs for the units is spot on and amusing. 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.
