Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Reception

Reception

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 has received mixed positive reviews, citing a strong cooperative and multiplayer component. However Netizens have panned the game as to not sticking to the original traditions and rules that the previous two games held. Although the game does not innovate much on its two predecessors and basically follows the same road of Red Alert 2, this wasn't seen as a bad thing by everyone. It has been praised for seamlessly integrating naval warfare into gameplay, generally a neglected feature in real-time strategy games, though excessive focus on this aspect has been criticized as well. The game has been praised for its less serious story and brighter, more colorful environments than those found in Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. The decision by developers to use more "strip mines" instead of the traditional ore field has been met with mixed response.
