C&C: Red Alert 3: Uprising


An epic single-player campaign, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 -- Uprising is a stand-alone title (available exclusively via download services, and playable for those with or without the original C&C: Red Alert 3) that catapults players deeper into the Red Alert universe. Uprising gives fans more of the action-packed gameplay they have been clamoring for while offering a gauntlet of new and compelling challenges with the new Commander's Challenge mode. The game takes players into the aftermath of the epic battles in Red Alert 3, with the Soviets still reeling from a crushing defeat, the Empire of the Rising Sun desperately trying to regain both honor and identity and the seemingly victorious Allies finding themselves in the midst of corruption and deceit within their own ranks.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is a real-time strategy video game in the Command & Conquer series published by Electronic Arts. The game takes place in a parallel universe in which World War II never happened and the Soviet Union rose instead as a threat in the 50s. A massive world war is ongoing among the Soviets, Allies and a new third faction known as the Empire of the Rising Sun, which is derived from Imperial Japan.
