couldnt stand it for too long, the tuturial seemed like it was geared towards 10 year olds and just wasnt as good as all the older command and conquer games i have played

command and conquer 3 tiberium wars is better

Ok theres no reason to suffer through this simple rts . You could easily rent Command and conquer 3 tiberium wars on xbox 360 and its a much better game. Infact THE best console rts ever . But this red alert its nothing you'd expect from command and conquer games. Theres not enough customization and no innovation just rehashed gameplay on bland uninspired maps . The campaign is boring no reason to play through it at all other than achievements . The online is horrible only 2 modes really. But Tiberium wars has these modes and MORE plus its older than this trash . Im ashamed to call this command and conquer which is the series thats king of the rts genre.

Thats it in a nutshell don't even rent just get tiberium wars which has everything on here and more . A meaningful campaign with an engaging narrative . The best online in an rts game and so many more positives i give that game a 9.0 amazing

My mind is best suited for strategy and RPG. I have always know this. C&C:RA3 proved it even more.

This is a cut and dried strategy empires game. Build your bases and armies and defend and/or attack as needed for each mission until you dominate the field.

Each empire has unique units and you have to find just the right units to counter the enemies units that are sent against you. With my military background, this was obvious, yet I still had to make multiple tries at some missions.

I started with the Allies campaign, then ran the Soviet campaign and then moved to the Empire campaign. I think I had the most fun with the Empire, and hated the Soviet campaign the most.

This game is not for the strategy newbie, since trying to control all the different groups of units to defeat your enemies can be taxing once you get to the 7-9th stages of each campaign. All campaigns get much more challenging after the 6th, though generally with one stage that it deceptively easier than you expect it to be after the 6th.

Now I wish I had taken up C&C earlier, but I think I over did Warcraft, Starcraft and AoE back in the day. Now I think I will go pick up the C&C 10 years package for the PC just so I can see what I missed.
