Players' Feedback

Game's StrengthsGame's Weaknesses
  • The story is wacky, but at the same time intriguing
  • A lengthy game (~30 hours)
  • 3 lenghty campaign for all 3 factions (Allies, Soviets, Japanese)
  • All the 3 factions have unique strategies you need to learn and utilize
  • Live action cutscenes with very talented actors
  • The characters and some of their voicelines are memorable
  • Most missions are challenging
  • Graphically looks really good for its age
  • The soundtrack is over the top eargasm
  • Gameplay is unique for each of the factions
  • Some missions are just unfair, not challenging
  • After switching to Easy mode, to avoid me ripping my hair out, the game was just super easy at that point
  • The game has a 30fps lock, which you can't unlock
  • Bland mission design with almost no variety
  • Allies AI feels stupider than enemies'
  • Still not as perfect as Red Alert 2 was
  • AI can be very dull
  • Troop movements aren't always as reliable as you'd like
  • Multiplayer is dead, but considering how old the game is and that the servers were hosted over on Gamespy, it's understandable
  • Unfortunately, no steam trading cards, emoticons or achievements, not a problem that influences the gameplay though

The intention behind these pros & cons isn't to establish a balanced evaluation of the game, but rather to assist developers in identifying enhancement opportunities. The game's rating of 85.5% should be taken into account when assessing them.

Take into account that list was generated using AI on a small sample of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3's Steam review data, it is not meant to be exhaustive. Moreover, be aware that problems aren't always meant to be solved. Communicating clearly and managing the player's expectations is important too!
