Westwood...? Is that you..?!,

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Ultimate Edition (PS3) (Video Game)
The last time command and conquer was any good, lets face it, was when good ol' Westwood studios was in charge, before they were bought up by the EA juggernaught. Red Alert 3 goes back to the crazy weapons, crazy storyline and crazy dialogue. Theyve even thrown in some genuine Hollywood talent and some scantily clad girls, to sweeten what is already looking like a good deal, giving me the impression that someone at EA has been re-playing the old C+C titles, taking down notes and reporting back to the development team (something other game makers could take a lesson from [SEGA]) The PC version of this game isnt worth the disc its printed on as the spyware issues and incredible memory demands sour any gameplay experience, but the PS3 takes it all in its mighty stride, showing us brilliant detail, epic sound and crisp gameplay.
The game only misses out on the 5 stars, because it does take a while (an hour or two) to get used to the controls. And many people have complained about the lack of keyboard/mouse compatability, which is a moot point because if you need that to play the game, then you should stick to the PC version, regardless of its faults!

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Ultimate Edition (PS3) (Video Game)
I have always been a big fan of the Command & Conquer series but felt that it was going a bit stale somewhat sicne EA took over the rights from Westwood Studios.
But Red Alert 3 marks a return to what we know and love from the orignal C&C games. A crazy story, insane weapons and for the first time all in glorious HD. Granted the controls take some getting used to but you do get the benefit of a full multi-stage tutorial explaining everything about the basics, base building and strategy as this game (As have all the other C&C games) require a lot of quick decisions. The cutscenes are entertaining and sometimes hilarious in their cheesiness from actors such as Star Trek's George Takei who plays as the leader of a new faction to go against the Allies and the Soviets called "The Empire Of The Rising Sun" I would highly reccommend getting a console port of this game (I myself bought the PS3 version). I have not played the PC version yet but I have heard of numerous problems related to it. Now if you excuse me, im off to destroy soviet warships using dolphins.

Not the best at writing game reviews but I'll give it a go. Havn't played a C&C or Red Alert game since Red Alert 2, missed out on Yuri's revenge and all the ones in the middle, and then thought i would rent the PS3 verson of Red Alert 3, see what I've been missing out on. All i can say is that it didnt' leave my console until every single missing and skirmish was finished. The graphics were amazing, the game play is great, the story is good, and obviously the girls are great as well. the All star cast was very surprising, and was funny to see their "tongue in cheek" acting, but all very very good. The only down side i would say is the control system, although it only took an hour or so to get used to, still on the last level i was selecting unit with out meaning to, however this is only a small small con. All in all i think this is Red alert how westwood intended it. and a must for any die hard red alert fans!
