Red Alert 3 asks the question "What If?" What if every bizarre research project and technology experiment for
the last 70 years had actually borne fruit? What if the Philadelphia Experiment, time travel theory, teleportation,
invisibility, Tesla technology, and a hundred other intriguing research projects had all paid off and gone mainstream?
What if the Soviet Union survived and thrived; what would it look like 10 years in the future? What if the Japanese
Empire had never fallen and instead became the ultimate high-tech superpower? The end result is an imaginative
and playful vision of an alternate future filled with possibility. The desperate leadership of a doomed Soviet Union
travels back in time to change history and restore the glory of Mother Russia. The time travel mission goes awry,
creating an alternate timeline where technology has followed an entirely different evolution, a new superpower has been
thrust on to the world stage, and World War III is raging. The Empire of the Rising Sun has risen in the East, making
World War III a three-way struggle between the Soviets, the Allies, and the Empire with armies fielding wacky and
wonderful weapons and technologies like Tesla coils, heavily armed War Blimps, teleportation, armored bears, intelligent
dolphins, floating island fortresses, and transforming tanks.

Intriguing Plot Twists
In previous games, the war between the Allies and Soviets was coming to a close with the Allies nearing victory. In
desperation, the Soviets created a time-travel device that they've used to assassinate Albert Einstein before he is able
to develop the weapon technology the Allies later use to defeat the Soviets. Upon returning, they notice a new world,
and there is a world war taking place between three groups for control of the world. Red Alert 3 continues Command and
Conquer's tradition of using live-action video scenes to tell the story. Presented in beautiful, high-definition video,
Red Alert 3 features of an hour of footage with the largest cast ever assembled in the franchise. Play As Three
Different Factions for Varied game play
In Red Alert 3, you have the choice to play as the Allies, the Soviets, or the Empire of the Rising Sun. Each faction
has its own story-line and distinct units with advantages and disadvantages that you have to master in order to win. The
new faction to the series is the Empire of the Rising Sun, derived from Imperial Japan, with an all-new cast of units
and characters.
The three factions have many differences, which is exemplified by their wildly different types of units. The Soviets,
for example, have armored attack bears, Allies have the Dolphin ship which can high jump and use a sonic attack, and the
Empire of the Rising Sun features such quirky units as a giant transforming mecha and ninjas. As they've done with the
series, EA injects humor into the game when possible, keeping a smile on your face as you wage war.
Fight on Land, in the Air, and on Sea
Red Alert 3 has land units, air units, and naval units, all integral parts of the game. Unlike most strategy games that
don't bother with naval warfare, Red Alert 3 makes controlling the seas an essential part of the game. Controlling
resources in the seas and ing attacks from all directions are strategies that must be employed to achieve victory.
Cooperative Mode Lets You Team Up with Your Friends
Red Alert 3 has a fully co-operative campaign mode where you and a friend can play together to achieve victory. This
means that you have to develop a strategy together, as well as execute it in synch in order to win. If your friends
aren't online, you can also choose one of several AI commanders as your teammate.
Play Against Your Friends in Multiplayer
With the different units and play mechanics of each faction, you and your friends will have a great time playing
against each other, perfecting different strategies to best suit the units you have and the s you play on. And thanks
to the balanced game play, no one will have an unfair advantage.
Innovative Interface for Xbox 360
Real-time strategy games have traditionally been the PC gamer's domain, but thanks to a new and enhanced version the
CommandStick interface implemented in Red Alert 3, Xbox 360 gamers will have a control scheme that offers the speed and
efficiency of the keyboard and mouse.
For previous fans of Command and Conquer, Red Alert 3 will provide the same light-hearted game play, but with more
units, more strategies, and more fun. Newcomers to the game will soon see what all the fuss and laughter is about.
