Intriguing Plot Twists
In previous games, the war between the Allies and Soviets was coming to a
close with the Allies nearing victory. In desperation, the Soviets created a
time-travel device that they've used to assassinate Albert Einstein before he is
able to develop the weapon technology the Allies later use to defeat the
Soviets. Upon returning, they notice a new world, and there is a world war
taking place between three groups for control of the world.
Play As Three Different Factions for Varied Game Play
In Red Alert 3, you have the choice to play as the Allies, the Soviets, or
the Empire of the Rising Sun. Each faction has its own story-line and distinct
units with advantages and disadvantages that you have to master in order to win.
The new faction to the series is the Empire of the Rising Sun, derived from
Imperial Japan, with an all-new cast of units and characters.
The three factions have many differences, exemplified by their wildly different types of units. The Soviets, for example, have armored attack bears, Allies have the Dolphin ship which can high jump and use a sonic attack, and the Empire of the Rising Sun features such quirky units as a giant transforming Mechas and Ninjas. As they've done with the series, EA injects humor into the game when possible, keeping a smile on your face as you wage war.
Fight on Land, in the Air, and on Sea
Red Alert 3 has land units, air units, and naval units, all integral parts
of the game. Unlike most strategy games that don't bother with naval warfare,
Red Alert 3 makes controlling the seas an essential part of the game.
Controlling resources in the seas and mounting attacks from all directions are
strategies that must be employed to achieve victory.
Co-operative Mode Lets You Team Up with Your Friends
Red Alert 3 has a fully co-operative campaign mode where you and a friend
can play together to achieve victory. This means that you have to develop a
strategy together, as well as execute it in synch in order to win. If your
friends aren't online, you can also choose one of several AI commanders as your
teammate.
Play Against Your Friends in Multiplayer
With the different units and play mechanics of each faction, you and your
friends will have a great time playing against each other, perfecting different
strategies to best suit the units you have and the maps you play on. And thanks
to the balanced game play, no one will have an unfair advantage.
For previous fans of Command and Conquer, Red Alert 3 will provide the same light-hearted game play, but with more units, more strategies, and more fun. Newcomers to the game will soon see what all the fuss and laughter is about.
