C&C Red Alert 3: Uprising

It seems like EA is taking advantage of Street Fighter IV fame with someone who resembles a lot like Chun-Li. The look of the young woman, in this cover art of latest chapter of the Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 saga, can make any fan of Capcom games think of the famous female fighter who is not only Ryu and Ken’s friend but also an undercover Interpol agent. If Chun-Li were to be in command of such an army (in C&C), she could definitively beat M. Bison and his Shadaloo organization. Read the following press release for more info.

Parece que EA se está aprovechando de la fama de Street Fighter IV con alguien que se parece bastante a Chun-Li. La mirada de la joven, en esta ilustración del último capítulo de la saga de Command & Conquer Red Alert 3, hace que cualquier aficionado de juegos de Capcom piense de la famosa luchadora que no solamente es la amiga de Ryu y Ken, sino también una agente secreta de la Interpol. Si Chun-Li estuviese al mando de tal ejército (en C&C), ella definitivamente podría vencer a M. Bison y a su organización Shadaloo.

LOS ANGELES, Mar 12, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) today announced that Command & Conquer(TM) Red Alert(TM) 3: Uprising is available for download at the EA Store and other online digital retailers worldwide today. Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising is a single-player campaign expansion to last fall’s award-winning real-time-strategy game Command & Conquer(TM) Red Alert(TM) 3. This expansion pack takes players into the aftermath of the Red Alert 3 war with four new mini-campaigns, new plot twists and the all-new Commander’s Challenge mode. The series’ trademark live-action cinematics also return with performances from Jamie Chung, 16-time world heavyweight wrestling champion “Nature Boy” Ric Flair, Malcolm McDowell and Holly Valance alongside returning fan favorites Gemma Atkinson and Ivana Milicevic.

“It has been an incredible year for the Red Alert team. We just received the AIAS award for Red Alert 3, so we are especially excited to follow-up with the release of the campaign expansion Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising,” said Amer Ajami, Senior Producer at EA Los Angeles. “We have created something really compelling for Red Alert fans with the additional dungeon-crawler campaign for Yuriko and the new Commander’s Challenge mode that will offer gamers a deeper experience with the story and hours of fun and challenging gameplay.”

Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising includes four new mini-campaigns, three of which revolve around the Soviets, Allies and the Empire of the Rising Sun Factions. The fourth campaign features one campaign entirely focused on Yuriko Omega, the seemingly harmless Japanese schoolgirl-turned-deadly-weapon by the Empire of the Rising Sun. The player controls Yuriko Omega in a dungeon-crawler style campaign, as she develops her powers and fights her way out of a psychological research facility.

In the new Commander’s Challenge, players encounter 50 unique and challenging scenarios, each with its very own over-the-top and distinctive twist, confronting players with everything from giant bears and an entire army of Yurikos to massive satellite showers. Starting out with limited units at their disposal, players gradually unlock more units, technology and new challenges. Each challenge is equipped with a par time that is up to the most competitive players to beat.

Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising is available for digital download today for $19.99 and is rated “T for Teen” by the ESRB and “16+” PEGI.
