Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 - Mac 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 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, 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 mounting 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
