    Is writing your own jokes one of the things you're not allowed to do? Come on Joe...
    Great review though, looking forward to the game

    Joe, did your copy of the game Feature HM3 or any part of the soundtrack at all? Did it resemble anything that Frank had done in the original 2 RA's?
    Another question for you... What graphics settings where you playing the game on, i.e in game graphics, and what hardware were you playing on? Cheers.

    Sam

    No idea on hardware, but the graphics were fully pimped up (though there was some placeholder art about as the game is still beta).

    Regarding sound, there was no music I can remember in the beta build and about half-way through I turned it off anyway to stop it interfering with my recording.

    that's such a shame...... i really like all of his stuff in RA2, so no camo-tank :(

    i really don't like the idea of Japan in RA universe. well, im never a fan of Japan because of the history between them and China. but RA3's charactors are just wrong, a schoolgirl who can destory tank using her mind?

    looking forward to Allied aircraft carrier as always :)

    Great review, thanks Joe.
    Any word on hardware requirements?

    I was expecting a follow-up joke about being hammered.

    ;)

    RA2 was fun RA was fun but this just looks silly RA2 was silly but it made sense and you had a laugh this just looks like its taken it too far.

    Generals looks like itll be staying on as my favourite C&C game

    What!! Naval warfare and no Pirates? Ninjas but no pirates, this doesn't seem to bother anyone? I wonder how this is going to affect the tank/engi rush strat, there isn't a better glee than capping half your opponent base and using their own structure against them and producing units at ground zero.

    You can hear the new Hell March theme on the Red Alert 3 official website. It plays during the "Empire of the Rising Sun" trailer, I believe.

    Joe! You didn't mention the three factions' distinct build systems. Or maybe I just skipped that paragraph?

    the gameplay hardly matters as long as the FMVs are sufficiently cheesy,the sound bites for the units are awesome and theres enough batshit insane units to go around :p

    The Hells March theme is crap, i preferred the techno/ambient music on tiberian sun better, far less intrusive and it went well with the glowing environments

    I must say that's a load of balls. The Hell's March is what made the ambience of Red Alert so special. :p
