Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 – An Indepth Review

While the PC version of Red Alert 3 is superior, it’s still enjoyable on the 360.

cmfl3x and I have been playing this game on and off for the past two months, and it’s only now that I can finally put out a review. Either we’re incredibly slow gamers, or the game is just that lengthy. Well, it’s a little of both, as cmfl3x and I decided to play through all 27 campaign missions on co-op together and were only able to continue in progress when both of us were available and had the time to do so. That, plus 27 campaign missions is a pretty lengthy amount of time for a game, and we definitely got more than enough game length just from the campaign to justify the title’s price. For the most part, the game is enjoyable, but of course that depends on how you feel about a real time strategy game being played with a controller. If you’re open to the idea, or even looking for one with a lengthy campaign after discovering how short the Halo Wars campaign was, you should definitely give Red Alert 3 a shot.

cmfl3x will also contribute his thoughts on the game to the review.

Good
– lengthy and enjoyable campaign with co-op support
– campy/amusing cutscenes, stars, and units
– skirmish mode and multiplayer extend game length even further

Bad
– still cumbersome to play optimally without a keyboard and mouse
– somewhat of a barebones multiplayer with only 4 player support and no team matchmaking
– the shoddy AI partner if you’re playing campaign levels on Hard difficulty
