Play as the Soviets, the Allies and the new faction the Empire of the rising sun and complete the campaign missions and go play co-op with your friends or just simply have fun playing the skirmish mode or multiplayer. The campaign follows the story after the events of red alert 2 when the allies are about to taste victory. Unknowingly, the soviets have a plan of their own and built a prototype time machine which they used to travel back in time to eliminate Einstein, the man behind the chronosphere. Little did the soviets know that they summoned a new enemy which is the empire of the rising sun. The empire then started their attack using their powerful military navy and technology. In the single player campaign mode's gameplay, you are given tasks to perform and also a co-commander, which will serve as your ally during the campaign and can help you even in the tightest situation. Sure you can boss him/her around and command him/her to destroy something or to go somewhere but you can't control his/her army, only use his/her tactics to plan or attack something. The skirmish mode on the other hand, is basically just a free play mode. When selecting an enemy AI, you can adjust its difficulty, set its faction, change its color and choose a co-commander according to the AI's faction. The co-commanders are just as they are in the campaign. A new feature called the top secret protocols panel is simply just some dirty tricks that you can use against the enemy or simply improvements for your army. You can gain points by attacking the enemy and use it to buy new protocols.
Here are my ratings:
Storyline: 5/5 ( impressive storyline that really feels like a movie)
Gameplay: 5/5 (improvements rock)
Graphics: 5/5 (graphics depend but looks cool when HQ)
Multiplayer: 5/5 (co-op is new and multiplayer mode is amazing)
Skirmish: 4.5/5 (great skirmish mode but no disable super weapons option)
Music: 5/5 (Superb and unique original soundtrack)
Overall: 9.5/10 (impressive game overall)
Thanks for reading my review and I hope you come out victorious on the battlefield.
