Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3

Command & Conquer System Requirements

Published by Electronic Arts


What we love

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. The desperate leadership of a doomed Soviet Union travels back in time to change history and restore the glory of Mother Russia.
