Jun 20, 2011This is a game that i feel if they had taken a little more time to make it it would have come out near perfect. As it stands its still a very fun game but you can see all the areas in the game that could have used more work. I just hope in the future if they make a red alert 4 that they spend the time to make it great instead of just ok.

JackB.Oct 29, 2008Great game, i think the colour pallet is a little bright with all those colours but it plays well and look very nice. A great game for you old C&C fans and new ones alike definitely worth investing some $$$. Lots of enjoyment to be had here! 8/10

Aug 15, 2012A disappointment for Command & Conquer fans, as EA steers the CnC franchise into the mainstream arcade area to pickup new customers. The game looks pretty, the cutscenes are true to the series, but for gameplay and every other aspect, I'll stick with older titles.

Jun 10, 2014Como jugador del Red Alert original sólo consiguió enfurecerme hasta cotas inauditas. Todo mal, historia, gráficos, intentos de humor fallidos, falta de interés en mecánicas. Dan ganas de mostrarlo a los estudiantes para que vean "lo que no hay que hacer".

Feb 26, 2020Lacking debt, just blend and not unique, not memorable, but it is a functional RTS

Feb 10, 2021Man the campaign is much worse than ra2, i just play the game again after a while and i notice that the graphics, unit, interface was lack behind compare to others game of its time, the storyline is cool but the way it was executed is awful

Oct 27, 2013The game mechanics and level design are the usual top notch standard, the FMV... Well, here's where it gets a bit weird. The FMV is a cross between nuts models in tiny outfits and high grad British old Actors like Jonathan Pryce and Tim Curry. It does feel a bit mysoginistic and exploitative, but if you can get past that you have a great game here.

Jun 18, 2013Red alert 3 in my mind was fantastic and really funny. the rising sun was quite unexpected however made the experience quite enjoyable. The units were also very nice, the graphics were cool and best of all the co-op mode which was a good move in the right direction. Not as good as some of the old originals but never the less an enjoyable game to play

Oct 2, 2013Finally the cnc franchise has a game that has the missing piece of the RTS formula: strategy. In the past every cnc game, although creative and flashy, was stale and lacked deep game play mechanics. EA seemed to fix all that and still gave ra3 that creative and flashy charm. It...good game

Feb 26, 2014While it's still a good game, it fails to live up to its expectations after Red Alert 2. The graphics looks almost cartoony or team fortress 2-esque. The story is silly and a little stupid, but still playable. The gameplay itself is solid, but once again, it fails to live up to expectations.

Mar 6, 2017This game is amazing. One of the better Command and Conquer games. Not quite as good as Red Alert 2 though. It's still an awesome game and the multiplayer was great fun with friends.

Jul 27, 2021Interest game. Especially, film in there. Actors play so interesting. But for me this game had so difficultly and I didn't had experience for finally it.

Jun 6, 2020Most 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.

Jan 23, 2023Отличная игра, в которую с кайфом играть спустя много лет, однозначно рекомендую всем любителя РТС

Jan 8, 2022Played 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.

Dec 20, 2018No 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!

Jan 19, 2021I like ra3 just to slow for a rts game :( If it more fast i think everyone like it.

Feb 17, 2021One of my favorite RTS game franchises. The graphics were very good and gameplay a lot of fun, although I only played the actual campaign.

Nov 15, 2019Red 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!

Feb 18, 2020Relies a bit too much upon on Naval Combat which stops this from being almost perfect.

Jun 23, 2020I'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.
-
Jun 28, 2020Of 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.

Jun 25, 2022My 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.

Nov 25, 2021Раньше 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. -
Apr 8, 2023Just text (crutch) to save the game to the list. Such things. Maybe I'll do a review later.

PC GamerAny 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.
