GameSpot writes: "How does a developer take such a gleefully joyous experience as Red Alert 3 and morph it into lifeless mediocrity? It's a question that you'll wrestle with as you struggle through the real-time strategy game's first expansion pack, Uprising. Some valiant attempts to retain the original's cheery, cheesy charm are all but lost in a murky sea of generic, poorly constructed missions that are either insipid or infuriating. There's certainly a lot of content in this single-player offering, what with four bite-sized campaigns, a smattering of new skirmish maps, and the dozens and dozens of scenarios that compose a new mode called the Commander's Challenge. Yet it's hard to call Uprising a good value, even at its low price point, when so little of it is actually fun to play."
The Good
* The Commander's Challenge can be fun
* Some cool new units
The Bad
* Poor mission design
* Yuriko campaign is half-baked
* Pathfinding and animations still problematic
