I've been waiting six years since Yuris Revenge, FOR THIS CRAP!? I don't think the Westwood team was involved in this project at all. EA has dumbed this game down. Yes the premise of this game was always campy, but the gameplay was always top-notch and level design allowed for intense battles. The score (music) for this game is terrible, totally goes against the war theme. All the stages are terrible in this game! even the radar looks like something out of a game from 1980s.

They have taken out so many of the awesome units they had in Red Alert 2. There are no deployable G.Is or Guardians. They have taken out the ore mining aspect of it, the Japanese units are totally out of proportion with the soviets and the allies, you are unable to see enough on the map, ones units die by the time you are alerted that they are under attack. The bot coop totally does not work. I was not expecting this to come from people that made games like generals and tiberium wars

The only thing i can say i like about this game was the water, it looked good. The cut scenes were not nearly as good as they in RA2. Definitely not worth your money!

    In short: A perfect 5. EA's mediocrity strikes again. But i'm willing to change that to 8 or 9 if i get payed too, like all the major review sites. Story : Something with time travel AGAIN. Alternate universes AGAIN.... Read Full Review
