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 between the Soviets, the Allies, and the Empire with armies fielding wacky and wonderful weapons and technologies like Tesla coils, heavily armed War Blimps, teleportation, armored bears, intelligent dolphins, floating island fortresses, and transforming tanks.
On its own merit, RA3 is a fun RTS game that will give you something to satisfy your RTS craving. It is more of an old school RTS. The controls are not bad and after getting use to, it can be quite fun. However, out of reflex, I want to hit buttons on a keyboard when things get hot. Overall fun RTS game for renting. 7/10
this is a great rent, should keep you entertained for a week. it gets easyier once you get a grasp on all the controls. and all the classic command an conquer video clips make it so worth it.
