    Empire Earth has replaced Red Alert 2 as my RTS of choice. It’s great fun. Read more

    Graphics & Sound: To be honest, the graphics in Empire Earth aren't all that great. The game is 3D, which is nice, but the units are fairly undetailed, with weak texturing and not many polys. And many of the incidentals on the map--trees, for example--are actually sprites. However, this lack of graphical punch undoubtedly helps one of the main things about any RTS--a large number of units on the screen don't bog the game down, which is a serious plus. And what the units... Read more

    Empire Earth a real-time strategy game that lets you control the destiny of a fledgling civilization through 500,000 years of human history, developed by Stainless Steel Studios, a company founded (1998) 0by Rick Goodman, the creator/lead designer of Microsoft's award-winning and best-selling Age of Empires game. Although Empire Earth is similar to Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings (game's controls, interface features, and even some of its keyboard shortcuts), it's... Read more

    Empire Earth is not an easy game, nor is it a game for those new to computer strategy gaming.  The AI is a very tough opponent and plays the game very well, providing players with some stiff competition in the random map games.  It is also not a short game.  Resource gathering is a slow process further hampered by a six citizen per resource site limit.  While in theory it is possible to play the game from prehistory through the future, the slow resource gathering...

    Well i realise that the graphics may not be up to scratch but it is an amazingly fun game to play. I also love EE2 but they say , the original is always the best, i agree here. Skirmishes can last for hours and the story mode is good as well. The main advantage/disadvantage(some people like it some don't) is how you can go up an epoch. Basically you can go up an age.

    Great game, spent alot of my 11th grade summer staying up all night playing this game for hours with my lil bro. It's a huge game, and has alot of features, like a scenerio editor which makes for some really fun custom games. If you're looking for a good game to waste some time on and not alot of money invest in this one...also the expansion adds alot of fun. Read more

  4. Empire Earth (PC): 500,000 Years In One Little Disc!!!

    From Sierra, the makers of such instant classics as half life, comes Empire Earth. An epic of a game spanning over 500 000 years of human history. The game is undeniably a strategic affair, the premise, to construct a base, raise an army and quash those who seek to destroy you. In this respect it is similar to the likes of the unstoppable Command & Conquer series, an absolute giant in this genre. However, EE differs from C&C in a few key aspects which I will now go into....

    This was the best strategy game that I have ever played, though I have not yet tried the sequel so I could change my mind. This game would keep me entertained and addicted for hours...the only problem with this game is that it would suck hours away from my life. The interface is quick and easy in that it does not take much time to get into the game. I loved all the units I could make and using those units to completel overwhelm the enemy. This game is great...too bad I... Read more
