Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 is a real-time strategy title with a unique storyline, quirky cutscenes, and intense battles.

There are countless real-time strategy games on the market, but very few franchises are as iconic as Command and Conquer. That series includes dozens of amazing titles, and Red Alert 3 was one of their most popular releases. Red Alert 3 has everything that you would ever want in a real-time strategy title, and it is sure to keep you entertained for hours.

This game follows the basic Command and Conquer formula that has been around for many years. During each match, you must race against your opponents to gather resources, construct buildings, unlock new technologies, and build vast armies. Learning how to properly manage all of those aspects at the same time is the only way that you are going to win when it comes time to play against human opponents or difficult AI enemies.

The storyline throughout the campaign is just as silly and over the top as many of the other Command and Conquer titles. In Red Alert 3, the defeated Russian army decides that the only way to take over the world is to go back in time and kill Albert Einstein. Unfortunately, that time travel changes many other aspects of history, and the world is eventually taken over by three unique factions.

Anyone who is a fan of any of the previous Command and Conquer or Red Alert games is going to enjoy this release. The graphics are stellar, the acting is outrageous, and the combat is very well-balanced.
