PS3 Red Alert 3 - Does anyone have it?

[plfrench]

Not seen any mention of it on here... I'm planning on picking it up tomorrow and was wondering what people thought of it.

Try the demo first; the control sytem still doesn't feel natural to me after years of PC based RTS'.

I've completed it on xbox 360, it's a decent game tbh.

The controls are so much better than a direct port of a PC based RTS as they're designed around the controller rather than a keyboard and mouse. It does take a bit of getting used to but it's worth persevering.

Plus you get to see Gemma Atkinson's cleavage LOADS and a couple of shots of her in her skimpies so it's worth every penny!!!

Bit narked that the PS3 version has the extras dvd etc, which wasn't released with the x360 version but hey ho!

The story progression is good, especially seen from the point of view of the three factions. Some of the levels are a bit too easy, base raping with helicopters or an artillery swarm etc is very easily accomplished and the AI doesn't react to it quickly enough but other than that - it's a great little romp

Thanks for that, sounds good! Does the online co-op mode work well, as that sounds like a good laugh

On the 360 it does, although it is a bit odd in that you don't co-op through the game, rather you co-op through missions instead (the same as the SP game but there's no progression. You do a mission, it exits, you start a new mission, complete it, it exits - it doesn't automatically carry on to the next one)

The online modes are good fun provided you're all the same skill level. If you get someone who's that bit better - you'll be base raped with helicopters, infantry and artillery before you can say "WTF WAS THAT!?!?!"
