Gameplay
Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 is entirely a strategy game, and somewhat of a campaign game. The game is consisted of simply Commanding and conquering, as the title goes. You have to command certain armies based on which storyline you selected. The sophistication is very enhanced as well. Some aspects are various, as you can select which way to travel your men, and overall in general, there seems to be lots of time and effort seen throughout the game.
