In Red Alert 3 the Soviets decide to turn to one last act of desperation – the use of an experimental time travel device.
The mission is to go back in time and eliminate Albert Einstein before he creates the technologies that will lead the Allies to ultimate victory. After a successful mission, the Soviets return to the present, discovering the Allied position has indeed been weakened.
But before they can truly celebrate, they find out their actions have spawned a new threat and global superpower, the mysterious, technologically advanced Empire of the Rising Sun.
Welcome to World War III. In Red Alert 3, all three factions will have their own hand-crafted story-driven campaigns, with co-operative missions designed solely around coordinating attacks and developing strategies with an ally.
Hook up with a friend online and play through the entire campaign or recruit one of nine AI commanders to play at your side, each with their own distinct play style and personality. While most RTS games keep naval gameplay at the periphery, Red Alert 3 is not shying away from the high seas.
The oceans now hold essential resources, and with many units and structures capable of becoming amphibious, players who turn their backs to the oceans will find conquering the world a daunting task.
Here are some key features of "Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3":
