Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3
Awesome

Ignore the other review, red alert 3 is an excellent game with three great single player campaigns. Multiplayer is fantastic, yes it does have cartoon style graphics and yes its a bit over the top - but isnt that what red alert is about? I remember when the first red alert game came out and that was a tad OTT. The second in the series (which was created by westwood) was even more so. The series has never been about realism. Great game - my advise download the demo, if you like it buy it - you wont regret. …More

Excellent game, great graphics and runs wonderfully on my Macbook Pro (late 2008).
The game as a good solid story with some serious eye candy for us males out there. Well worth a purchase, will keep you hooked with 3 huge campaigns, online and co-op to complete.
A wise purchase. …More35 of 45 people found this useful

running this on a new unibody MacBook Pro, still a lot of frame rate issues and generally a very slow game!
the beginning tutorial is just embarrassing! "we have called a temporary truce to tell you how to play this game" coming from a bunch of wise-cracking tanks...this is as far as i got before deciding its intended for kids... …More0 of 2 people found this useful

Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3
DO NOT BUY!!!!!!
Written by RG from Bushey

I am an enormous fan of the Command and Conquer Series, and own C&C 3 Tiberium Wars for Mac which was fantastic.This however, is absolutely terrible - it simply does not work!!!!
There is a whole thread about this on the EA Forum, started by users, as EA have no listed support for this game anywhere on their website!!
Firstly, the game runs first time you open it, then asks you to update. Having updated, the game will never run again. More than 10 seperate users on the thread are reporting exactly the same issue. If you don't update however, you can't play online which is the best part about the C&C Games.
Secondly, when it did run performance on a top spec 2009 3.06 Imac with 4GB Ram and Nvidea 512 MB 8800 GS Graphics was absolutely terrible. Anti-Aliasing only has one setting 'off' - no joke(!), and all other settings need to be at Medium to give anywhere near playable performance. Apple and mainly EA who are supposed to be now officially supporting the Mac platform should be ashamed of themselves.
