Overview

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is a popular real-time strategy game developed and published for PC by Electronic Arts.  It is a continuation of the popular Command and Conquer series that is set in the alternate reality where time travel has changed the events of World War II and pitted the alliance of Western countries against the Soviet Union.
During the events of this game, the almost defeated Soviets managed to turn the tables of the conflict by time-traveling again to the past and killing Albert Einstein, thus changing the history enough to give them the chance to fight back against Western Allies. However, the unexpected consequence of this historical change leads to the rise of the Empire of the Rising Sun, which serves as the third controllable faction.

Red Alert 3 thus features three large campaigns focused on Western Allies (which are focused on high technology and strong units), Soviet Union (which promotes the use of large amounts of weaker units), and Empire of the Rising Sun (which features transformable units), all featuring wide array of hand-made missions, cooperative play and unique units, structures and gameplay tactics. Similar to the other games set in the C&C franchise, the presentation of the game uses not only the in-game assets to tell the story in cinematics, but also real-life actors that are filmed on stage.

The core gameplay objective of each mission is focused on gathering resources for building new units and structures, and then utilizing all available military forces to make real-time decisions in offensive, defensive and tactical moves that can surprise the opponent. During the play, users are encouraged to explore the entire tech tree and reach the capability of creating the strongest endgame units and powerful superweapons. The entire single-player campaign of Red Alert 3 can be played cooperatively with a friend, enabling players to split their responsibilities and coordinate their tactics by managing large armies on multiple fronts.

One of the core pillars of the RA 3 experience was online multiplayer, but sadly this feature of the game died with the shutdown of GameSpy servers. Today, this game can be played online via a separate online solution called “C&C Online” or via ethernet.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 represents one of the most enjoyable and tactical games from this genre. It’s fast-paced, has an excellent 3D presentation, and since it came out more than a decade ago, it can today be played on a wide variety of PC hardware configurations (including laptops).
