Over the top movie sequences, ridiculous weapons, terrible rock music and an insane, time bending story; Red Alert is back and this time it's turning Japanese. The story picks up with the Soviets facing defeat at the hands of the commie-bashing allies, only to use time travel to erase the man most responsible for the West's victories. In doing so the Russians manage to allow the unguarded Japanese, or Empire of the Rising Sun, to become a third superpower turning the games alternate reality into a dogged three way war for survival.
