CC: Red Alert 3

I just picked up Red Alert 3 and Red Alert 3:Uprising and I gotta say they are damn fun. If anyone enjoys old school RTS this is definitely worth picking up. Plus its got a hilarious plot in it. I was getting yelled at by Tim Curry and George Takei one time and I busted out laughing. Even in Red Alert 3:Uprising you got Ric Flare.

These games are not revolutionary in any way but they are damn fun. Plus they are only 4.99 this weekend.

If any of you guys pick it up my name is TheMailMan. Send me an invite for some co-op.

I skipped it, but at that price...it seems to be worth it. I've been on a huge RTS run the last couple months, and this looks like it could be good fun.

Looks good, the gameplay screenshot reminds me of Discworld more than anything, but at least it looks like you control single units, and not squads.
If only I had money.

This one even though no one says that was revolutionary in a way. This was the first time where you could destroy a tank rush with a well picked units. And same applied to every side. For every offense there was at least one defense. So planing attacks or defenses require quite some proper tactics. Bought Premier version when it was released and also bought Uprising addon not long ago on Steam when it was like 5 EUR in some deal. It's a fun game

Hmmmm...Red Alert 3....one of the worst C&C games, I still regret paying $50 for it

I was hooked up into the strategy genre because of the C&C games but everything which was released after Tiberium War was an utter failure to the series.

Red Alert 3 was the end of the Red Alert games for me and Tiberium Twilight was the end for the C&C games too...I might get Tiberium Twilight once it reaches $2, just for the storyline and for Kane's sake...I'm THAT cheap.

Red Alert 3 is the RTS you have to play if you really just want "pure" fun.

Red Alert, Red Alert: Counterstrike and Red Alert: Aftermath were one of the first RTS games I've played.

Man, I wish if they didn't cancel Tiberium which was supposed to be a First person shooter game, now that would have been better than this sh!t....

Or at least they should have brought back old characters such as Yuri, now that's an unforgettable character.

Did you play Renegade? Better than most people thought imo.

Why didn't you like it? The game plays pretty much like all the other C&C? The only difference I can see is how the different factions build things.

Where can I start....

1. Cartoon-ish graphics.

2. Cheesy storyline, (though I did like the Japanese)

3. I didn't feel like I was playing a Red Alert game...different sensation.

4. This might sound "gay" but too much cleavages made the story kinda...dunno...B movie..bad acting, but I did like Tim Curry

Overall I would give the game 7/10, it's good but it's the worst in the series preceded by Tiberium Twilight.

Once her career is done we might see her doing......you know.....

I bet that she already offered her services to some director or talent agent, isn't this how you get famous
