True or false, what we have here, for £15 from the EA Store, is an expansion that at times impresses by making you feel like an RTS god, then disappoints because it falls short of the high-quality spectacle that was the original, and feels, well, just a bit lonely. That there is no multiplayer in Uprising suggests that most people who bought Red Alert 3 played it on their own. RTS expansions exist to give fans more of what they liked from the games they’re expanding upon. Perhaps the decision to provide four new single-player mini-campaigns and a vast single-player Challenge mode is an indication that we were wrong. The best thing about Red Alert 3 was the co-operative campaign – well, that’s we we thought anyway. Which is a strange choice from developer EA Los Angeles. That’s right, we said entirely single-player experience.

It’s a download only, standalone, entirely single-player experience. Uprising, the first expansion to last year’s excellent RTS Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, is a curious beast.
