Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Commander's Challenge is a stand-alone expansion for PlayStation 3 focused on the challenge mode from the original game. Players navigate a world map, selecting various missions that resemble traditional gameplay. Commanding Futuretech, players utilize Soviet, Allied, and Rising Sun units to tackle main and side challenges, progressively unlocking additional units.
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Commander's Challenge is a stripped-down version of the original Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Uprising with only the challenge game mode retained.
