Red Alert 3 got a respectable 4/5 stars in a recent Gamespy review. To summarise:
- Comedy is likened to the cult comedy "Airplane!" (or "Flying High!" as it is known here in Australia).
- Red Alert 3's units are wacky and ridiculous - which is one of its strengths.
- Soundtrack is apparently amazing and so is the voice-acting.
- FMV cut-scenes are also so ridiculous that they are a strength.
- Single player campaign is a bit simple, being mostly like a skirmish but can be heaps of fun with co-op which results in "a marvel of teamwork or a comedy of errors".
- Hardcore RTS gamers may find the strategic model a bit too simple for their tastes.
- Soviets are best at building big and hitting hard, the Allies rely on versatility andthe Japanese are a fast, hit-and-run army that rely on stealth and transforming.
- Key "innovation" of game is the return of naval units.
- Red Alert 3's multiplayer is where it really shines and the super-abilities that each unit gets makes the game accessible to "newbs" whilst still rewarding the more skilled players as well.
- "It's not a game that will redefine strategy gaming, but it is one heck of an enjoyable ride."
