    Just text (crutch) to save the game to the list. Such things. Maybe I'll do a review later.

    My absolute most played game. I loved this game to the point that I bought the PS4 version and beat that using the controller which didn't feel right. Playing with a mouse is best. I loved all the things that people don't. I liked the cutscenes, dialogue, etc. People now act like the dialogue has the be written by Edward Gibbon or it's worthless.

    Played it a bit late a few years later but I enjoyed it much more than the previous 2 games. The other 2 are top class game and I am absolutely aware of it, although for me this ringed the bell. The great C&C mechanics, the design of the units, one of the best soundtracks and the spicy acting made it very appealing to me.

    Раньше нравилась эта игра, на момент оценки (конец 2021 года) играется совсем плохо.
    Синематики топ, не знаю что еще и сказать. Пройдите еще раз Warcraft 3.

Здесь мышление на перед и экспериментирование стоит на первом месте,так как тут невозможно использовать постоянно только один тип юнитов из за того, что на каждый каждый тип есть тип по сильнее и быстрее, но слабее в чем то другом. Red Alert 3 дает возможность использовать почти все пространство на любой карте. А чего стоят миссии компании и , отснятые с живыми актерами, видео-вставки после каждого прохождения уровня, которые не только не отталкивают(ну это еще благодаря актерам), но и удерживаю ваше внимание до самого конца. Но главной фишкой игры - это, пожалуй, является прохождение всей компании с товарищем, который тоже не проч часок другой по голове американцам настучать бок о бок с вами:) У игры я особо изъянов так и не нашел и до сих пор не понимаю чего люди так яро хейтят данную часть.… Expand

    Of all the frequent red alerts, I have the most inappropriate attitude towards this. Cranberries in the game has become prohibitive. The company itself was as boring as possible. It seems that they added a new side to the conflict, but somehow there was no desire to go into the multiplayer once again.

    I've had countless hours of fun playing this game. It was a big part of my early gaming experience. I never played the older games (CnC 3 was my first, and Generals is the oldest I've really played that much), but I bought the remastered collection so hopefully I'll have something to compare it to.

    Most of the hate is just from RA2 elitists that couldn't get into the games because it was too cartoonish or too micro heavy. RA3 is a fantastic game that fully embraces the goofy side of the Red alert universe. RA1 was serious, RA2 was indecisive if it wanted to be serious or goofy, and RA3 fully accepted what it meant to be.

    Don't make me wrong - I love C&C and Red Alert, but this installment is... let's say ok ? Mechanics are similiar to this from Tiberium Wars, but this graphics... I can't stand the look of this units, very cartoonish and silly... miss those from RA2...
    Campaign is long, funny and enjoyable, especially with friend.

    Red Alert 3 is certainly a worse game than its predecessor but it is still beautiful and the campaign is fun to finish. Although it is childish story- and difficulty-wise and there's no much replayability potential. However, playing a co-op with a friend could be fun!

    The hard-counter RTS #1. While being quite similar to earlier RA games when it comes to controls and APM demands, RA3 got extremely diversified units, due to the rock-scissor-paper armor system.

Although I for the most part dislike these kind of hard-counters I must say it plays well. It can get a bit annoying, however, when it gets hard to actually finish an opponent even though you're levels better. The answer seems to be to have a diversed army to begin with, but this of course hurt the strategic depth in the game.

    The campaign is, as in all RAs, very enjoyable and funny. After all, the C&C series focus on singleplayer/co-op rather than classic 1v1 multiplayer game, and RA3 is no exception.    … Expand

    No online, no balance, lack of interactive objects, no unit limits (spawn it until game crash), texture glitches, strange design from Sims 3 with toy cars at parking, no map generator, stupid AI, no wall-building for AI, AI can`t use some abilities or superweapons, russian version localisation mistakes. It`s comlete garbage. Not a game!

    It's ok I guess. 6/10

    My complaint is that it has a lot of bizarre limitations on the units, and it screws up the gameplay. For example, soviet attack helicopters can only attack ground units. They cannot attack other air units. Conversely, soviet fighter jets can attack air units but cannot attack ground units. Why? It seems like shoehorned complexity into the game.

I also don't like how apocalypse tanks no longer have AA missiles, so they can't be put into a single attack group. We're forced to have mixed groups of helicopters with migs, apocalypse tanks with AA vehicles, etc. It feels like a micromanagement simulator.    … Expand

    Many people complain about the "girls", but if you watch original RA there is a cutscene where Stalin slept with NKVD girl so compared RA3 and RA this one is more Child Friendly

    the only negative i have against the game is the story and plot is pretty meh on "seriousness". but its quite funny if you dont look at it seriously.

    The low user score is likely some old fans trolling because they dont like the style. if you havent played too much of the series it shouldnt be a bad experience.    … Expand

    Any game in which a giant laser cannon pops out of Teddy Roosevelt's head on Mt. Rushmore is a winner in my book...Red Alert 3 is a highly polished game that doesn't take itself the least bit seriously, and co-op play might jus be the next big thing in RTS. [Holiday 2008, p.62]

    Red Alert 3 is by no means a bad addition to the Red Alert series, but compared to its forebears it lacks much of the panache the series held and may hold some disappointments for fans despite the addition of a good new faction and a fairly satisfying single-player experience.

    What was a tongue-in-cheek look at Cold War paranoia married to solid RTS gameplay has blossomed into a pure comedy that retains the easy-to-pick-up and addictive-as-peanuts gameplay of the best in the Command & Conquer franchise. It's not a game that will redefine strategy gaming, but it is one heck of an enjoyable ride.
