Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - PC

I have played the Red Alert Franchise since the first game was released. I thought that this game was not going to be as good as previous games because Westwood Studios did not produce RA3, but instead EA Games Los Angeles did. However, this is simply not the case. The game brings about a lot of humor, decent actors in cut scenes, and a comical yet saddening story of time travel gone wrong. Not to mention the graphics have gotten an overhaul, the music is intense when playing, and there is so much to do within the game. You can even build your whole base on water! Even each unit says something different when clicking different things and when I picked up on this, I thought it was very cool. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars because the price was definitely worth it and every time I play I get a chill of nostalgia because I played most of the games in this franchise when I was younger and this particular one did amaze me with all of the improvements made, but they did not make it too complex, which was my biggest worry.

Most of the reviews written for this game are pretty terrible, but solely because of the lousy DRM scheme EA applied to this game at launch. After installing and patching the game, I found that I can deactivate a computer at any time, which means I'm not limited to the 5 activations EA initially restricted this game to, so long as I remember to deactivate my computer before upgrading it or installing the game to a new computer.As for the actual game itself, I find it to be quite fun. The different build systems for each faction definitely make it different from most of the Command and Conquer games I've played thus far. The graphics are a bit more cartoonish than previous installments of Command and Conquer, and the whole Communist propaganda thing is actually pretty amusing. If there's one complaint I do have, it's the lack of unit variety. Sure, the amount of units is adequate, but when I'm sending my troops out to attack the enemy, I always feel like there's something I'm missing in my assault. I never got that feeling when playing Command and Conquer 3.Overall, this is a fun game and fans of the series should pick it up if you haven't already. With the whole DRM thing more or less solved, I think it's worth a buy.

PROS:1) Great story line. Real world war history applied. This time the Soviet traveled back in time -> killed Albert Einstein -> no Einstein = no nuclear weapon -> Japan never got nuked (back in World War II) -> Japan got stronger! -> Now the world has 3 dominant superpowers: Allied, Soviet, and Japan.2)REAL cut scene sequences played by REAL HOLYWOOD actors. Beautiful and sexy female officers provide intels and real-time strategy advices. They kept me HOOKED throughout the entire Campaign mode.3)Graphic (when set to Ultra High) are remarkable, especially the Water Quality.4)Co-op mode enable the users to play with friends in the Campaign (like Resident Evil 5). If not, AI Commander will take over.CONS:1) Texture and structure graphic are not much of a different from Red Alert 2. Although I have no issue with that.2) Online infrastructure is too simple. It is built with tradition principle invite and join room. I prefer automatic search and join function like Call of Duty Modern Warfare series. That way, it is less hassle to look for and invite so many AFK co-op players in the room.All in all, a very good game created with a carefully written story line. Would recommend to buy! Hope this helps.

I sort of like the new look of the Red Alert 3. It's a bit more cartoon like but the game play was great. I haven't run into any problems with the DRM problems yet but that's because I haven't had to redo an installation yet. (I usually don't redo systems unless I up grade or install a new OS which is coming up soon.) The game played great on my system. (P4 2.8 gig, Nividia Geforce 6200 512 Mg video, 4 gig RAM) and I see no problem with running it on a system slightly below mine. So that should be no problem at all on an higher end system. As far as the story line goes, I really didn't expect the storyline to stay the same anyway. The only negative I can see is if one makes frequent changes to the system, then they could run into problems on the limited number of installations allowed. (BTW: I feel this really doesn't make sense to me to hit the person buying the game for what some other people are doing. Instead it seems required the original disk be in the drive sounds like a better way to protect the rights holder.) Overall, I like this game. Much better than "downloading" the games as in "Ultimate Command & Conquer" where you don't get a physical disk with the games on it.

I love this game, I had before the 2nd version and I loved playing with it I spent hours playing. I did not try this one yet for a complete battle but it looks awesome and I believe I will love it.

The best game ever played

日本語マニュアルがついていないだけで値段が1/4です．steamは難しいので，簡単に安く手に入れようと思えばこちらがオススメです．　操作方法などは"right click" 目標は"destroy X"など，チュートリアルでひと通り試せますし，基本的な英語なのでそれさえよければマニュアルなどいりません．マニュアル添付版もストーリーの解説まではされておらず，Wikiや動画サイトを活用すればこちらで十分楽しめると思われます．ストーリーはないですがMODでUprisingユニットも操作可能です．　ゲームモードはキャンペーン3国27ミッション，最大6勢力までのフリー対戦であるスカーミッシュが楽しめます．　ゲームバランス，グラフィックス，ロード時間，COM難易度調整，冷戦をモチーフにした世界観，すべてにおいて高いレベルでまとまっています．強いて欠点をあげるならば，メタルなサウンドを聞ける専用のモードがないこと，オンラインでの対戦が難しいことぐらいでしょう．RTS自体がマイナージャンルですが，その中でも隠れた名作ではないでしょうか．　日本語マニュアル版と同じディスクなので，動作そのものに問題はありません．Windows7 64bitで動作しました．
