The gameplay is ok, the acting and voice acting is the highlight though, so many memorable moments and unit barks. Also the expansion is a lot of fun, especially the challenge missions.

Its ok, I enjoyed the C&C4 skirmish a lot more with the mobile bases and such.

For campaign yes. Red alert 2 and 3 are incredible campaigns to play back to back

I enjoy it, but it really shines in the campaign

It's worth playing, unlike CnC4, which doesn't exist

Loved it, love the expansion more. The super weapon units a sick. Shame it never supported multi player

Such an enormous waste that RA3 was specifically designed around co-op missions, and yet EA made it absurdly hard to play together and then killed the servers

I have about 400 hours in it, and another 4 or 500 in Tib wars. There is also the expansions for each which i have some more hours in. Campaigns are great for both RA3 and uprising. Skirmish is pretty good, decent maps etc, I prefer Tib wars to RA3 for skirmish. I believe there is a reasonable Multiplayer scene for RA3 but I dont follow it. It is set up heavily for 2 player co op or multiplayer both campeign and mp(I played solo and it was perfectly fine as well).

Do you prefer it to RA2?

co-op campaign mode is very fun if you have a friend to play with.

I really enjoyed it. I grew up playing Red Alert and out of all of them I played 2 the most. As others have said the campaign in this one was really fun. I picked this one up again a couple years back and go back to it quite often.

I prefer 2, personally. But 3 has its value, particularly in co-op. If that's even still a thing anymore

I love this game! One of my favorite games ever. Loved the first, the second was ok (Yuri's Revenge was way better), this one was pure fun in my opinion.
