Review

 

With a collection of limited and exclusive features, this is the ultimate Red Alert 3 collection for any strategy fan. Go back in time and battle alongside your friends and Hollywood stars in an action-packed, over-the-top world, as the bestselling and most-beloved series of the Command & Conquer franchise returns, now enhanced for the PS3.

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, armoured bears, intelligent dolphins, floating island fortresses, and transforming tanks. Updated for the PS3 with new features, content and enhanced graphics all displayed beautifully in HD Blu-ray!

At first the controls were a little hard to get used to. Same circular menu system as the last Tomb Raider game. Worked well once I got the hang of it.

Graphics are great especially the landscapes though some of the units and the mini map look a little pixelated at times. If only it had been in 1080p - would have been even better!

Storyline is good and having stars such as George Takei and Tim Curry acting helps no end.

Online is great and co-op on the main story is a great idea. Lots of different units & buildings and big differences in tactics between the three factions giving lots of strategy options. You wont get away with building the same unit endlessly to win as in previous C&C titles!

Overall a great game and defo worth a look at, especially at its current price.
