“As a long-time fan of the series, the game feels far too childish and colorful, with an aesthetic that resembles a cartoon/anime rather than the alternative world war we loved in previous C&C games. The biggest issue is…”
“I dislike the forced coop and every unit having an active ability.”
“It's really far-fetched if you're expecting something similar to the first two. If the cartoonish style doesn't bother you, though, it can be a pretty fun Red Alert!”

“GameSpy should come back to host the Co-Op mode.”
“I loved this game when I was young, sadly coop is local now unless you understand how to use the communityware.”
“Thumbs up mainly for nostalgic reasons. Has no online multiplayer service and weird audio bugs. But if you are into singleplayer and the game is on discount, why not?”

“Probably the funniest campaign in any RTS. Seeing Tim Curry try his best not to burst out laughing with every line will never get old.”

— a player, Steam review · 36 hrs played“Easily recommended for RTS fans, still among the best the genre has to offer. Controls are much more comfortable than some of the older titles which are all still worth playing. 3 campaigns offer a lot of fun and variety with units.”
