Video Game Reviews of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
Customer Review: Another EA game ruined by SecuROM.
Summary: 1 Stars
When will they learn? EA is finally starting to put out some decent or even good games and they go and ruin it. I played the beta and thought it was quite fun, however I will NOT be buying this game. Say what you will about SecuROM being spyware, but there is no denying the install limit. I will not allow EA to tell me how to use my LEAGALLY purchased game.
I wonder what the suits at EA are thinking? Its obvious this has done NOTHING to prevent priacy (in fact it appears to increase it) so why is it still being used? I can download a FREE copy and install it as many times as I want, but if I pay for it I am limited to 5 installs! I know EA only cares about the money, but this still baffels me. What is the point in hurting paying customers when it does NOTHING to deter priracy? Maybe when they loose enough money (between lost sales and paying Sony for SecuROM) they will open their eyes and do away with this. Than I will look forward to playing Red Alert 3.
Customer Review: Secure Rom FTW
Summary: 1 Stars
Great idea with the co-op, not so much with the Secure Rom. Gotta stick it to the man till he learns. It's only penalizing the legit.Customer Review: Broken game
Summary: 2 Stars
Numerous program problems.Are they kidding!!??! I had to install this program 3 times to get it to work. They forgot to print the last digit on my licience code. The first time i installed the game it just plain didn't work, the second time it worked until I installed the updates, then finally it worked the third time I installed it. But the story doesn't end there, sound cut out on me during play and hasn't returned and I keep getting stuck in a cut sequence that I can't get out of. This game isn't even ready for beta testing let alone being released. I feel cheated out of my money and seriously consider boycotting EA games in the future. Very disappointing. Customer Review: I am enjoying the game...
Summary: 4 Stars
I am playing Red Alert 3 on a quad core, Vista 64 machine with 4 gig of RAM.
I enjoy the Command and Conquer games and have played the other Red Alerts.
I am playing through the first of three episodes in the game. I am currently playing the "Russian" faction. The actor Tim Curry, from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, is the head of Russia, and pops up from time to time to cheer or jeer.
The leader of Japan is the actor that played "Sulu" in the original Star Trek. Fun to see him from time to time too.
Anyway, in every battle, there is another general on your side that has their own army to command. This army really isn't in your control, although you can influence some things, but it moves around the battlefield attacking your enemies and fighting on its own. This can be very helpful and surprised me by attacking a target I was moving on before I could get to it.
The graphics are good and the weapons are fun. There are a few "secret" weapons that the Russians have that show up with experience. One is a "suction" ray that allows you, once in a while, to "suck" an enemy's vehicle into space, and another that lets you target the enemy with a crashing satellite.
I am having fun playing the game.
I don't like the idea of limited installations, but hey, I like playing games, and there will be a Red Alert 4 out by the time I am done with five installations of 3 anyway.
Customer Review: Yet another disappointing CnC game
Summary: 1 Stars
I really wanted to like this game. I've played all of the Command and Conquer games, with Generals and Zero Hour being my favorites.
Command and Conquer 3 and CnC3:Kane's Wrath were interesting, but the game play just wasn't as complex. They were obviously geared toward the XBox crowd, not serious strategy gamers.
Red Alert 3 is more of the same, but worse! Just like CnC3 and CNC3:KW you have extremely limited base areas, quick-building but weak units, disappointing specials, and annoyingly brief battles.
Have 10 minutes free? Just enough time to play a skirmish.
Sheer crap. I'm already looking for someone to take this garbage off my hands; unfortunately, I've already complained about it to everyone I know, so they aren't interested.
Looks like it's the end of the line for the series; I'll go back to playing Zero Hour when I'm feeling nostalgic; otherwise, it will be Warhammer or Supreme Commander until something worthwhile comes out.
If you wait until it's in the bargain bin, it MIGHT be worth it.
