Did anybody play the original Red Alert: Command & Conquer ten years ago? It had an amusing premise: Albert Einstein went back in time to eliminate Adolf Hitler. Altering the time line had unfortunate consequences however, for with Hitler removed, Stalin and the Soviet Union tried to take over the world instead.
Recently, Red Alert 3 was released; this one is even crazier than its predecessor! The Soviets were losing badly to the Allies, so three of their leaders went back in time and eliminated Albert Einstein, which had even more unforeseen consequences, namely the rising of a new Imperial Japanese power, the Rising Sun.
Here is the trailer:
This one has an all-star cast: Tim Curry as the Soviet Premier, J.K. Simmons as the American President, Jonathan Pryce as the British Field Marshal, Jenny McCarthy as Special Agent Tanya (the only recurring character), and George Takei as the Emperor of Japan (awesome)!
It’s like they’re trying to make the game into an interactive movie.
My preview of this game is forthcoming.
