At the end of the day, Red Alert 3 doesn't add anything brand new or innovative to the RTS genre: it takes the same old familiar formula, grabs elements from other RTS games, and improves on them in its own, quirky way. If you liked previous installments of Red Alert, you'll like this one. Fans of the Tiberium saga may not be as willing to embrace the changes or unique style, but RTS fans in general should give it a spin.
Pros:
• Lengthy campaign mode
• Good story
• Great use of water warfare
• Stellar soundtrack
• Each unit has a special ability
• Armies are extremely different
• Great cast of B-listers
Cons:
• Co-op mode requires very little co-operation
• Annoying tech-up for Allies and the Empire of the Rising Sun
• Some special abilities require difficult micro management, especially for the Empire
• Resource gathering is an afterthought
