Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3

The game is no red alert 2, after you've completed it you'll find yourself hard pushed to want to play the campaign again, although the co-op does make it more strategy oriented. When playing the campaign in single player the co-op ai is appalling. The graphics that people seem to complain about aren't that bad, they don't really stand out that much but are hardly an eye sore. The sides are reasonably balanced and are quite dissimilar to each other in many ways, they have spent time developing the sides but haven't really added the variety i wanted from it. The campaign story line is much like red alert 2 showing the struggle between the two major powers, until the empire gets involved.

Overall its a good game but it was no squeal to the epic series that is red alert.

Be warned you need an internet connection to activate the game, you cannot play the game without it.

Highly addictive and enjoyable, Once this game has been fully patched up it will be everything it should be - more or less.

Warning -This is not a game to take seriously, it relies on being over the top, cheesey and humourous.
But if you want a seriouse & realistic RTS war game, do not buy RA3 or you will be dissapointed.
If you just want to have fun, then buy it :)

Pros.........

No matter what the doubters say - Its still a good quality C&C title.

Co-op campaign is good fun if you have mate to play it with

Mutiplayer and skirmish are both highly playable with many more combinations possibilies than RA2.

All three factions are VERY well balanced at the time of release.

Is well optimised for lower spec PCs -(but beware of the 10GB install) runs very well on an old 7600GT anyway.

Runs without the disc in the drive too which is nice.

Cons..........

Game is still a tad buggy at this time. Online lobby and auto match are especially poor and need some work.

Contains DRM software- with an activation limit of 5 times (no install limit though)

Cut scenes will make you cringe- dispite having some respectible actors in the cast.

The graphics are nothing special and to be honest worse than tiberium wars the gameplay is boring and the confusing. In all honesty even though this is newer and so theorectially better and more advanced it is in fact worse than red alert 2. Im sorry i bought it, a waste of money.

I must say that EA has finally got this right, after playing the Beta version i can honeslty say that this will deffinatley be a bigger hit than the tiberium wars which i also enjoyed. Lets just hope they dont screw up the final version.

Cant wait untill it arrives

I have the beta to this game and i must say EA have done a great job, the beta had some glitches but they would have been fixed by now

it runs fine on my computer which is
AMD dual core 3.2ghz
4gb of ram
Nvidia 8400gs 512mb

hopefully this might give people an idea of what you might need :)
