Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 – A Blast from the Past?

Released in 2008 by Electronic Arts for PC, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 was widely praised as one of the best real-time strategy (RTS) games ever made. The sequel to this classic title promised more action-packed gameplay and improved graphics.

However, upon release, many fans were left feeling somewhat underwhelmed with what they had received. So did EA get it right this time around?

In short – no!

Command & Conasser Red Alert 3 still plays out exactly like its predecessors but without the polish that we all know and love from other games in this genre.

The graphics are nothing special compared to some of today's titles, with basic textures being used throughout most levels. This combined with sub-par lighting effects makes for an overall unsatisfying visual experience on both older rigs running at medium settings or even newer machines cranked up high!

In terms of gameplay itself? It feels almost identical to its predecessor; micro-managing units around maps isn't exactly groundbreaking anymore especially when there are so many better alternatives available out now days...

But wait! You might ask yourself why I'm trashing this game so much given how well received it was upon release? Well, let me tell you – those who actually enjoyed RA2 will likely find very little here that hasn't already been done before elsewhere too!

So unless you're looking for some light-hearted fun or perhaps want to relive memories from back in '08 then I'd say give this one a miss altogether.

Rating: 4/10
