the storied Command & Conquer franchise. The light-hearted,
over-the-top, wacky world of Red Alert has returned with Command
& Conquer: Red Alert 3. After years of conflict, the Allies are
finally on the brink of victory. Cowering behind the walls of the

desperation - the use of an experimental time travel device. The
mission: to go back in time to eliminate Albert Einstein before
he creates the technologies that will lead the Allies to ultimate
victory. After a successful mission, the Soviets return to the
present, discovering the Allied position has weakened. But before

spawned a new threat and global superpower, the mysterious,

. 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 mecha 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 ing attacks from all directions are strategies that must
be employed to achieve victory.
Cooperative 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 s 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.
