Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 for PC, PS3 and X360 is the third installment in a series of acclaimed, real-time strategy games. The franchise is considered a key representative of the entire RTS genre by many players. The previous installment was released more than 7 years earlier, so apart from many new features, Red Alert 3 also brings visuals comparable to other modern-day games in terms of their quality.

Plot

In Red Alert 3, the players are introduced to an alternative course of history. Desperate leaders of the Soviet Union decide to travel back in time in order to change the events that shaped the future and restore the mother Russia to its former glory. Unfortunately however, not everything goes in accordance with that plan and a new timeline emerges. Within this new timeline, technology in general has evolved in a direction completely different to what humanity observes in its own reality. What is more, a new superpower has been established in the eastern part of the globe – the Empire of the Rising Sun. Among the Soviets and the Allied Forces, the said empire is one side of a great military conflict that is simply considered the next world war.

Strategy

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Uprising is a Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 expansion, released by Electronic Arts in 2008. It expands the plot with new threads, taking place after the events of the core game. During the three campaigns, the player can support the retreating Soviets, help the Empire of the Rising Sun to regain its former glory, or tackle the corruption ravaging the ranks of the Allies. The fourth mini-campaign tells the tale of one of the Empire's leaders – Yuriko. The developers didn't forget about the implementation of new, previously unknown units, a fresh bunch of FMV cut-scenes with live actors, as well as many more minute upgrades of the mechanics. The game mode list is complimented by the challenge mode known from C&C Generals: Zero Hour. During the fifty missions of increasing difficulty, the player fights against nine AI-controlled leaders.
