"Best RTS Out!"
5 stars"

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 infront of a mine and in and out it goes. *The boundry only grows bigger if you place an outpost or an mvc to extend it.

Some people would have different opinions.

"Outstanding addition to Red Alert"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

After playing the demo I wasn't sure I wanted this game despite loving Red Alert & Red Alert 2. This one takes a bit of getting used to, but is fantastic once you know what your doing.

"best rts"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game has some of the best graphics for a rts game. Finally the AI is challenging (enemy or ally). C & C red alert 3 has a fun fast paced gameplay not like other strategy games which takes hours just to finish 1 game. The acting is not bad with many hollywood actors in it. The campaign story is sort of predictable but still is a great story. Online mode is really fun (although i get owned).

in conclusion I have to say red alert 3 is one of the best strategy games I've played and I recommend you put it on highest graphics. 10/10

"Great, if I could install it"
2 stars"

When installing the game with the CD key inside the case it says its invalid.

Have emailed Mighty Ape, still waiting for a response 3 days later.

Its great when you cant even install a game let alone play it, here I was thinking its 2010, not 1995.

"Great, but not exemplory"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Not a huge fan of user reviews so here we go, RE3 is a great game to be sure, but at the end of the day it doesn't do anything to differentiate itself from any other RTS in the genre. So if you're a huge C&C fan, go ahead and give it a whirl but otherwise stick to more top end RTS games

"Beautiful"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Finally AI that thinks and is a challenge. The graphic are some of the best I have seen in a while. Weapon reflection in water is brilliant. Highly recommeneded for those new to the C&C genre or those DIE HARD FANS who have every copy..........:) Campaigns are some what short and predictable but that is what we have come to like.

"Great Game!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Great sequel to Red Alert 2…thou has way less units and buildings to build etc.. But it makes up for it with great graphics and gameplay! No online gameplay available thou anymore thanks to Gamespy not supporting it…but still can do lan battles. Really mostly got this because theres an amazing mods for it on the web! But it is a great game.

My grandson loved this game he thought he could clock it in a week but failed, he's still battling away at it.

"Could be better"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Not the best, gameplay is lacking a bit and limited upgrades etc. In my opinion if you want a better RTS your better to spend your money on a game like Age of Empires 3.

"Fantastic game"

A great improvement on red alert 2

"One of the best strategy games around"
5 stars"

If you like RTS games then this is one of the best, highly recommended.

"The game rocks"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The game play and interaction with the Hollywood cast makes it very interesting. The traditional skermish is there and selecting from three war efforts, The US, The Russians and the Japanese with all sorts of amazing weapons makes game play really cool. The graphics are what you would expert from the makers of this game, top notch. It is one of those games you keep playing and replaying just to try new strategies and try out new weapons in more interesting ways. Highly recommended.

"Still Burning Strong Since 1996"
5 stars"

I personally own and play at least once every day the original PS1 Red Alert game and each time another one to the series comes out I am down first in line at the store. Over the years i have seen the games become more strategic, AI's harder to beat and the graphics are almost perfect-o. This C&C would have to be one of the most funnest of them all, the only thing it lacks is a bit of difficulty. It is quite easy to beat the AI and barely gives you any challenge at all. But overall it is quite a fun one to play. I can't wait for many more year to come of C&C. 5/5

"Red Alert 3"
5 stars"

You may think you know about the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, but you don't. In Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3's alternate history, it's the Allies launching a surprise attack on Hawaii, a longtime stronghold of the Empire of the Rising Sun, and that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Red Alert 3 puts tongue firmly in cheek and dreams up a bizarre world where armored bears parachute from the sky, transformable Japanese mecha wreak havoc, and Mount Rushmore is actually a secret military facility where Honest Abe's head shoots deadly laser beams out of his eyes.
