Red Alert 3 takes players on an epic RTS adventure to an alternate future spawned by time travel run amok, featuring a fully co-operative campaign, the series' light-hearted style and classic, action-oriented gameplay.

If you're a PS3 owner looking for a solid RTS with good controls, this is the best the console has to offer.
