Simmons, Tim Curry, and George Takei performing as the leaders of each faction.
EA Los Angeles did a great job casting the actors for this game, seeing as we have personalities such as J.K. Just like in previous Command & Conquer games, the full-motion videos in Red Alert 3 feature real actors portraying the game characters. The way in which the waves and the seafloor are rendered is simply amazing, and it more than manages to blow games like Age of Empires III out of the water. Now that naval warfare plays a more integral role in the game, it’s clear that the developers aimed to give the sea a fresh coat of paint. Every unit is beautifully rendered, and the environments (especially the water) manages to achieve the perfect combination of exaggerated cartoonishness and gritty realism. Powered by EA’s SAGE 2.0 engine, Red Alert 3 is one of the most visually impressive RTS we’ve ever seen. This adds an added element of strategy, as players might have to choose different factions according not only to their playstyle but also to the map’s terrain. The three main factions have unique units for every field of battle, but each of them has a terrain which they favor. It’s all fun and games until the Allies bring out the Cryocopters. The Allied Nations predominant strength lies in its air units.
And we haven’t even talked of aircraft yet.
Having to keep an extra eye on naval units means that players have to keep their forces balanced to be able to engage the enemy on any terrain. Players can build almost anything offshore, giving them the possibility of constructing a predominately maritime stronghold. Unlike many other RTS games, naval combat is just as important as the battles on land in Red Alert 3. In a world without the atom bomb, protons and electricity are the ultimate tools of destruction, and there’s also more focus on naval warfare than before. Thanks to such a quirky backstory, Red Alert 3 features some outlandish and technologically impressive units for players to control.
