In Red Alert 3, the desperate leadership of a doomed Soviet Union travels back in time to change history and restore the glory of Mother Russia. The time travel mission goes awry, creating an alternate timeline where technology has followed an entirely different evolution, a new superpower has been thrust on to the world stage, and World War III is raging. The Empire of the Rising Sun has risen in the East, making World War III a three-way struggle between the Soviets, the Allies, and the Empire with armies fielding wacky and wonderful weapons and technologies like Tesla coils, heavily armed War Blimps, teleportation, armored bears, intelligent dolphins, floating island fortresses, and transforming tanks.

Red Alert 3 asks the question "What If?" What if every bizarre research project and technology experiment for the last 70 years had actually borne fruit? What if the Philadelphia Experiment, time travel theory, teleportation, invisibility, Tesla technology, and a hundred other intriguing research projects had all paid off and gone mainstream? What if the Soviet Union survived and thrived; what would it look like 10 years in the future? What if the Japanese Empire had never fallen and instead became the ultimate high-tech military superpower? The end result is an imaginative and playful vision of an alternate future filled with possibility.

Review by Lachlan on 4th January, 2009
5 stars "Pros And Cons Of the game not the pack"
Pros:
* Uses the best game engine for an RTS game out! (My opinion)
* Amazing water effects
* Brings back the good old days of twisted time and teleportation
* Online Co-op on missions
* Build most buildings on water
* Plus more

Cons: (Only a few cons but its still an awesome game)
* The harvesters do not collect from Gold/Gems scattered around the map, instead you place a refinery in front of a mine and in and out it goes.
* The boundary only grows bigger if you place an outpost or an mvc to extend it.

Some people would have different opinions.

4 stars "Worth the extra bits"
If your a big fan of C&C, this is definitely worth buying. The extra DVD is pretty interesting and not just a lame tag on - it has quite a bit of content. The hard tin case is also waaaay cooler than a plastic one...
As for the game, the campaign seems quite easy, but the multiplayer is where C&C games shine. RA3 multiplayer is quite diverse, not every game is revolved by an early rush or tier one unit spam, and the three different factions give different ways to play.

5 stars "Amazing Game play"
Once you start this game, you will feel right at home, especially if you have played another of the Red Alert franchise games.
Featuring your usual cast of unsung hero's, old silver screen marvels, and some new faces, always brings excitement to continue until the end

5 stars "The Red Alert To Love"
Any words like fun fit well with this game. It delivers on content by a lot e.g, poster, dvd after dvd even Red Alert 2 and a complimentry sound track to the game it really is a generous bundle I'd only match the the Orange Box. Game play is great especially how every unit contains a function which can dramatically turn the advantage to you if used well, most structures can be built on water. The powers per faction are great and theres a large variety magnetic satellites to cryoshots that freeze anything. The campaign stands out and I loved it, great cast of actors great story and I'm sure the women alone in this game will get some of you hooked =p. This is the best RTS I've played in awhile with little learning curve to play well, awesome graphics, great variety within units this is for anyone who has played Red Alert.

4 stars "A little bit disappointing"
Red Alert 3 is a really fun that has slightly different but not particularly better game-play than previous C&C games. Its a lot of fun units and cut-scenes, as well having a campaign that is entirely playable in co-op. But I just didn't find the core game-play as fun as other games in the series.
