Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 (Xbox 360, 2008)

I'd give it a 4.5 if I could. Just throwing that out there.

Okay, well, I love RTS games. I own every Command & Conquer and a bunch of other RTS's. I won't compare this to the PC games because that isn't fair. PC controls are going to be better and the game's gonna be smoother. For a console, though, I cannot think of a way they could have made the controls better. Sure, they're a bit complicated, but that's the way it should be. RTS controls should never be over simplified (ahem...Halo Wars). It's an insult to RTS fans, but I'll save that for my Halo Wars review. Once you get the hang of the controls, which may take a little practice, they work great. It's much improved from Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.

The story is classic Red Alert. Silly, amusing and entertaining. Some Soviets go back in time and kill Eistein before the secrets of atomic bombs spreads. This prevents the Allies from having that fire power, but also allows the Empire of the Rising Sun to come to power to challenge the Allies and Soviets. The cutscenes are awesome. When I first watched them, I saw the Soviet scientist and said, "He looks and sounds so familiar." It bugged me for a week before I figured it out. He's the Russian cosmonaut from Armageddon. Awesome. There are other stars too.

The gameplay is just....AWESOME! You have a co-commander to aid you in the campaign. He will build his base on his own and do basic things on his own, but you command him. You can tell him to attack somewhere and he'll build up a force and attack there. It's great. The skirmishes aren't as fun as Red Alert 2, but they're still entertaining and can keep you busy for hours.

I was sad when EA turned Westwood Studios into EA Los Angeles, causing most of the Westwood employees to leave and make Petroglyph, but EA Los Angeles has done a good job keeping Red Alert 3 feeling like a Red Alert game. I give it a 9 out of 10.

THIS GAME IS BETTER THAN TIBERIAN WARS AND HAS BETTER GRAPHICS, AWESOME GAME FOR ONLINE PLAYER FUN, SINGLE PLAYER IS STILL ALITTLE SLOW BUT IT PICKS UP AFTER YOUR HALF WAY THROUGHT THE GAME

I loved the service it was great and i am very satisfied for the low shipping charge. The description was right on and i hope he has more thing i would like to buy. I bought this because i needed something to do and this was the cheapest best game i could find i am very pleased

Very Happy With Command & Conquer once again Better gums better boards Just a great game over all And at 9.99 new in package is a steal on ebay you will be very happy with this game!!

Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 is an RTS. So if you do not like real time strategy games do not purchase this game. So moving on if you are a fan or have never played an RTS this is a great game to start with. I won't go into too much detail but one of the main strengths in this game is it's ridiculous campy story. Tim curry is just so great at what he does. You'll want to play more and more just to see what more ridiculous things they have in store.

This is a decent RTS. If you enjoy the other Command & Conquer games you will enjoy this one. In Red Alert 3, the desperate leadership of a doomed Soviet Union travels back in time to change history and restore the glory of Mother Russia. The time travel mission goes awry, creating an alternate timeline where technology has followed an entirely different evolution, a new superpower has been thrust on to the world stage, and World War III is raging. The Empire of the Rising Sun has risen in the East, making World War III a three-way struggle among the Soviets, the Allies, and the Empire, with armies fielding wacky and wonderful weapons and such technologies as Tesla coils, heavily armed war blimps, teleportation, armored bears, intelligent dolphins, floating island fortresses, and transforming tanks.

I had heard it was a good game, so I looked it up. The seller made a good deal, the game turned out to be good (and quality), overall a good transaction.

This game is great! Not only is it an awesome real time strategy game, It pokes satirical stereotypical humor at the politicians of The United States, Soviet Union and the The Japanese Empire through real live acting!

I love this game. It is fun to play and with all the new features it provides in game, you are challenged a lot more.

I'm very impressed how fast the item got to me. I would highly buying another product from this person.

appreciate the truthful sales and your honest mailing.... i would recommend this seller..... the game is awesome i never played on a platform before it was always on pc.

I am a fan of the Command and Conquer Series. I think this is a good game. This is the first C & C game that I have played on a platform besides the pc and it is a little different, but overall it has the same game play

This was an Xbox 360 game that my son wanted. It was a great price for the game and my son loved playing it.

I've enjoyed the previous Red Alert games and this one adds on to that greatness. If you enjoy RTS (real time strategy) games then the Red Alert series are among the creme of the crop.

this is the best game out there right now and probably all time it is a classic made into a phenomenal new game i recommend to every gamer

Not that bad of a game, but still RTS belongs on PC.


The controls to me at least, are a lot better then they were in Command and Conquer 3 for 360.

If you dont own a PC and do like RTS, you will most likely enjoy this game.

I'm a fan of RTS games and this is the first time I tried to play one on a console. I expected the controls to be very difficult but I was actually surprised to see that the controls were very easy to use after a small learning curve I was quickly doing everything as fast as if I had a mouse.

The game itself was very fun especially with the new co-op feature in the campaign which brings me to my complaints.

As much as I love this game there are still flaws one being that there is no record of what objectives you completed or whether it was with a co-op partner or not. That flaw is minor, worse is there is no match making for co-op you have to find players off of your friends list to play the campaign with you. The matchmaking seemed to be fine for vs games so it seems like it would not have been too hard to add this in.

Other than that I cannot really complain. The cut scenes were cheesy as usual but had some decent actors but that's just how red alert plays, it's not meant to be completely serious. The over the top units I think are a lot of fun so don't expect a real to life war game just have fun with it and you will.
