Not the Westwood classic that you used to know! It's just not fun any more :-(

To date, I have not spent too much time on this game. Primarily, it has to do with the fact that I find it difficult to continue.

Playing the first Red Alert in DOS was amazing. I can still vividly recall the first Allies level where you send Tanya into the Soviet base to rescue Einstein, while leveling each building with a timed detonator on your way out.

With this one, the plot and units are just ridiculous. You would imagine that the game will be super fun if EA allow their imagination to run wild, but that's really not the case. The game play was bad, and it's sad to say this, but for me, RA III just isn't fun anymore.

I wish RA is a classic that just happened to have one bad sequel. Over all, I still have hope for the series :-)
