Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 Bad?

Despite it getting a lot of positive reviews from critics C&C Red Alert 3 has gotten a mixed reaction from gamers on the internet. They say it's dumbed down and EA ruined the game but one of my friends said that the game is good and not as bad as some have put it out to be but it was basically the same game as previous titles. Now I'm a big fan of this series and I don't hate EA like most do. I find most of EA titles hit or miss, however they rehash all their sport games except for NHL 09. I'm getting the feeling people just hate EA because they're popular and hate any game they made. A lot of gamers hated Spore but I thought it was decent but could've been better however it was not EA's fault it was Chris Hecker who suggested Will Wright to "casualize" it for the casual audience.

So is Red Alert 3 really that bad or is it a exaggeration by whiny internet nerds?

I've got Red Alert 3 & it's an enjoyable game. Yes, it's not better than Red Alert 2 but it's still good.

I think people who do not like Red Alert 3 were expecting more from the game like better graphics.

I only played the demo but that really scared me away. The big yellow lines indicating selected units. The poisonous green and blood red, bob the builder blue. It's like a toybox. I can appreciate this in a mario game but i expected something cooler for red alert 3 especially when i think back to red alert 2 with it's awesome dark soundtracks, which are still there! It just doesn't suit the game at all.
Then they added stuff. Why do developers feel the constant need to add stuff?
It's like Sonic. You don't add swords to sonic, or werewolves or puzzles or guns or skates or skating moves or voices or...
What they did is they made micromanagement much more important. You have all these transformations and abilites going on now. And this makes the gameplay one big mess. I never had the idea that i had full control of my army. And that's what i like to have. It's the same thing where Warcraft 3 went wrong imo. That's why i rather play Red Alert 2 than 3. Give me an RTS that relies more on thinking than reflexes.
I know that's personal, and that's what i thought about it.

I think Red Alert 3 is fantastic. It takes what was started in Red Alert 2 in terms of colorful over-the-top silliness and expertly expresses it throughout every nuance of the game. The result is a game that's even more colorful, more charismatic, and a lot funnier than Red Alert 2, yet it still plays and feels like a Red Alert game.

I've personally had a whole lot more fun playing Red Alert 3 than I did playing C&C 3, which I found enjoyable, but kind of ultimately unsatisfying (like Tiberian Sun rather than Tiberian Dawn).

no its not bad,its so **** that your brain will bleed while playing this steaming pile of crap from planet zerg that someone was so bold to call game.its disgrace,its abominance and its blast in the past.except the old CaC games were fun.i dont know what they were thinking when relasing this .... . CaC3 wasnt something extremely good,but at least it was a good copypasta od lotr[anyone else noticed it runs on exacly same engine?].

Red Alert 3 is a very fun game. Not as good as RA1 and RA2 but still good. When you play it don't forget to set on ultra graphics!
