    Red Alert 3 boasts a deep single-player experience that allows you to take control of three separate nations, and watch a rather cool story unfold. The co-op experience and the solid visuals are also a pleasant surprise for an RTS game. And sure, the acting is stale, but that isn't enough to hurt Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3. Fans of the series and/or genre, pick this up.

    If you are fond of strategy games, there’s no risk in buying this title. The handling for the PS3 is very well done, but the humor is a bit strange, sometimes.

    Red Alert 3 is one of those wildly enjoyable and outrageously campy games that make this a good time for anyone looking for a real-time strategy game for their PS3. A few annoying issues aside, the fun campaigns, video sequences and numerous options does make this an impressive console version.

    It's a good and amusing experience, and if you're willing to overlook some of the gameplay issues that come along with it, you'll enjoy battling Soviets, Allies and Imperials until the next true RTS comes along – or until EA decides to provide the Uprising content as a downloadable pack through the PSN.

    Dubious claims of exclusive content aside, this version of Red Alert 3 is all good, rambunctious fun.
  6. Game Chronicles

    A fantastic game that just doesn’t fit in with the everyday console crowd. It’s a shame because EA-Los Angeles really put their heart into the PS3 version, but the game ultimately stumbles because it’s just too darn complex for the controller crowd. Still, if you can get past the overly difficult HUD and gameplay design, Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 is one hell of a game.

    This is a game that Command & Conquer fans will enjoy (and it’s definitely the best version for those interested in purchasing it) but for everyone else, I suggest you rent it first.

    BEST WWIII GAME EVER

    since the first red alert i was big fan of red alert but when 2 came out i was biggist fan, since 2000 to 2009 i was    BEST WWIII GAME EVER

    since the first red alert i was big fan of red alert
    but when 2 came out i was biggist fan, since 2000 to 2009 i was allways playing red alert 2 on my pc, ive never get bored with it.
    for me RA is the best strategy ive ever played, for me RA2 is number 1.
    i loved RA3 i loved the story and loved the game play.
    3 campaign really amazing each story, each is very short only 9 missions each campaign.
    the worst thing of RA3 is really bad thing that i hated in RA3.
    its the AI, the AI SKIMISH mode is very hard their is no balance.
    what i mean in RA2 skirmish mode when you start you can attack with only 1 soldier and you will see that your enemy they didnt have enough time to build an army like you.
    but RA3 you start the skirmish and in 15 seconds your enemy has allready started attacking you with soldiers and in 1 minutes tanks are attacking you and you didnt build diffence becuse you didnt have enough time to start.
    and your enemy really extreme quick to build like un human speed against a human.
    all my opinion that RA3 skirmish mode is not fair.
    only that reason that RA3 is 9.0
    amazing game love it but 2 is better
    best story of WWIII game and funny.    … Expand

A well made game with smooth graphics and very few glitches. People say they want to put this game down after an hour and I respect that. It happens to me a few times and that's what makes this game good. You progress slowly so you don't finish the game in 8 hours, which I hate myself for doing. This game is good at keeping you coming back for more, given its skirmish mode and lengthy campaigns. Plus, there's online multiplayer, although underused I've noticed.… Expand

    great package and well polished game, but frankly this game takes too much time. usually after one mission, i don't want to do another in thegreat package and well polished game, but frankly this game takes too much time. usually after one mission, i don't want to do another in the same night, so game progression is slow and it's easy to put down and never pick back up. a good RTS, but menu navigation and mission objectives just seem to make you beg for the next save point so you can put it down and play something else. its a game that has been buried between my "games i'm playing" disc pile and my "games i'm done playing" disc pile, and that is a game limbo in which few titles ever see the light of day again.… Expand
