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.

5 stars "Red Alert!"

Remember when you dropped a nuke at the enemy because he was turtling and you couldn't get to him those were the days. Red Alert 3 brings back those moments. Happy Times :)

4 stars "The crazyness of C and C"

The fun and craziness of the Command and Conquer Red Alert universe is back. Single player campaign is a little to easy If played this type of game before then I recommend starting on a higher level. Super weapons are still ultra fun.

Review by Oliver on 5th December, 2008
5 stars "For the ultimate red alert fan"

This edition of red alert 3 is the best, the bonus dvd you get with it is awsome as it shows you behind the scenes of the FMV's as well as having a epsoide of battlecast primetime and command school that I have been watching since they started showing them. Plus you get a code to go into the next command and conquer beta as well as the soundtrack which is really good as its a mix between the music from the previous games like new versions of grinder and hellmarch as well as new music that is a bit more soft. The game itself is amazing in my opinion as it has finally got me into multiplayer due to the 3 factions actually playing differently even in the way they build. The campaign is really good but not as good as red alert 2 and yuri's revenge in my opinion. Overall really good game that took me away from fallout 3 and far cry 2. By the way dont get put off by the graphics there meant to be like that.
