Red Alert 3 Commanders Challenge


I picked this up the other day for the PS3 and I have to say its pretty cool for the price. You can't really argue with what you get for a lousy £10 or so, especially when you consider the amount of time you will get from the game with around 50 or so missions said to be included.

Commanders Challenge is basically harder missions than you would see in a regular C&C campaign, Something you will learn pretty fast as the game kicks your ass. One of the reasons for this is because you have to complete missions to unlock certain units or tech to use in the game. This just adds to the challenge of the game though and makes you want to replay a mission you have previously cleared, just to get your time under the par time.


For Mother Russia!

One thing I thought would be in the game that was in Red Alert 3 was the chance of teaming up with a fellow commander, which was a unique idea but after some of the AI makes me glad it hasn't returned in this edition. So now you only have the cheating bastard AI to blame for losing instead of the retarded AI on your side. I have still to truly scratch the surface of this game, but after only 8 or so missions in, I am really enjoying the experience.

Rick Flair??? lol

While it may not be the best C&C game of all time, it is certainly one of the toughest and one you would be a fool to miss out on although it is a shame that there is no skirmish mode included.If your new to the world of C&C go pick up Red Alert 3 and give that a go first, as jumping straight in with this game could just have you pulling your hair out.
