Summary: PAST AND THE FUTURE ON ONE CD
Review: Empire Earth is one of the those games that keeps calling you back for more.You pick the timeline you pick what culture you
want to play and then beat your enemy to the ground.Good points:
zoom up close to the action, replay value is good and timeline is BIG.But not all is gold: music is forgettable no unique unit
like AOK and some of the bulidings have the same look to them.
But if you liked AOK and played it to death then by all means
get Empire Earth.There is nothing new here Its like AOK only
a longer timeline.

Summary: An Adrenaline Shot!
Review: Empire Earth is an adrenaline shot!Having played countless AOK/AOE games,I thought it'd be a long time before I'd want to play anything like it again.I was wrong! I would've missed the sudden shock on seeing Viking raiders, invisible until attacking, appear like phantoms in my city! Or the stunned disbelief when barbarians begin streaming out of a nearby forest - the one I thought was impenetrable - and head straight for my capitol! The uneasy feeling when I heard the ominous rumbles of enemy tank engines moments before they appeared out of that lightly guarded valley. The A.I. is smart and aggressive: it researches technologies zealously, fields well-balanced armies, attacks on two fronts, flanks well defended positions. It is at least the equal of any RTS A.I. today and I've played them all. Just when you seem to get the upper hand, it counterattacks somewhere else with the right combination of troops to quickly dispatch local defenders. Playing strictly defensively is hard because while resources are virtually inexhaustible only a few workers can be assigned to a site. You will be hard pressed to quickly harvest enough resources unless you've expanded beyond easily defended sites. Trying to wall off your lands is futile once the A.I. discovers flight. Rushing is harder and riskier as your hurriedly raised army may run into a combined arms defense force that cuts it to pieces. I was playing online determined to teach my enemy a lesson - one that he wouldn't soon forget - but I was the one who learned a lesson that day when my raiding phalanx troops were annihilated by mounted archers and crossbowmen. I returned the favor several epochs later when his tank army was decimated by a handful of my anti-tank guns. Empire Earth 'feels' different from AOE/AOK: the 3D graphics allow you to walk among your farmers and miners, to wander through the city, and fight along side the warriors. The contrast between the dangerous black 'fog of war' lands and friendly sunlit settlements is effective in conveying the mood of Empire Earth: expand or die. Empire Earth is not a history lesson on civilizations, economies, religions, and specific military tactics. Criticisms about how an atomic-age economy relies on the same resources as a stone-age economy are interesting but pointless: changing the resources to oil and uranium adds little to game play. Virtually every game has someone complaining about the A.I., path finding, graphics, design decisions, whatever: which is not to say they're wrong. Empire Earth has its flaws in all this aspects but none comes close to being a game killer. I'm glad I bought this game. Did you hear that? Was that the rattle of musket fire? Did the Romans discover gunpowder already?

Summary: "Super" Age of Empires!!!!
Review: Empire Earth is a 3D upgrade to the Age of Empires Series. I wouldn't consider it an Age of Empire III because Empire is SUPER!! You have 14 epochs to go thru. The later ones, including our own, have all the weapons of our modern day armies (Howitzers, M1 tanks, marines). I suggest you strongly buy this game!!!

Summary: Lag Unlimited
Review: Look - I like Real Time Strategy games as much as the next guy. I loved StarCraft, Dune II, Command and Conquer, and their ilk. I loved Age of Empires. So when Sierra (a company I have followed since Ken and Roberta opened shop in the 80's) announced a MASSIVE RTS with all the whistles and bells - I started drooling in anticipation. The letdown was enormous! I have a P4 1.6 GHz computer with a 64 Meg Video Card and a 128 M 3D card with 1 Gig of RAM. ANYTHING should run smoothly - regardless of the number of units or art style. Normally games tend to lag online - it's just a fact of life - you deal with it. BUT TO LAG ON A COMPUTER ABOVE AND BEYOND THE REQUIREMENTS, IN SINGLE PLAYER MODE, IS ABSURD! The art is repugnant, the sprites are rediculous, the gameplay is so incredibly dense, slow and hard, I regret ever having given my money for this tripe!

Summary: Not Too Good, Not Too Bad
Review: This game lokks really appealing on the outside because it is a game which promises variety. While I was lured to buy it because of variety, this game lacks a lot in other areas as compared to Age Of Empires 2(in particular), such as AOE2's astounding graphics and picture clarity.
Fortunately, this game is not something you should ignore as the tremendous units it offers will just blow you away. But too much can really give you a huge overdose as to memorise the better units after you advance to further 'epochs'.
Empire Earth is also realistic except for the last 2 'epochs' which makes it more like a fantasy game. The units and their abilities are out of this and the 'later' world(as in the game) in the last 2 'epochs'. It marks the transformation of the game to an unbelivable one for a real-time strategy player.

Summary: Fun, but hard.
Review: Comparing this to the Age of Empire series: 1. In this game, you get to focus more on your military, and less on building your civilization. For example, you don't have to build houses, and you increase production by "popululating" town centers with villagers as opposed to having hordes of villagers all over the screen. 2. Ironically, this game is designed so that you progess through the ages more slowly than AOK. So there is no -resource gathering just to advance- as in AOK. You must build a military in every epoch or you'll be over ran. As a consequence, it's not really plausable to play a game with all 16 ages. But you can pick the starting and ending age of each game. 3. The graphics are better than AOK's in some ways, and worse in others. The infantry units in AOK are MUCH better, but the battleship (and other units) in this game are much cooler. There are also explosions and lots of blood in combat which is really fun to watch. 4. The grahpics of the units in the later ages is much better than the earlier, but the game get's really busy with so many ranged units. 5. The AI is much better in this game than AOK. The computer will continually launch suprise attacks on you, and go right for your villagers.

Summary: DO NOT BUY !!!!!!
Review: This has to be the worst video game purchase I have ever made.
I really regret the [money] plus tax that I spent on this.
I m surprised so many people like this game.
Let me tell you why to me this game is a complete failure.
They are trying to mix all the game genres into one, hoping that that would make it the best game ever. First, they try to imitate Age of Empires (even in the Title!) which as we know is quite popular as an RTS. But you only get the worst aspects about AOE: a slow and confusing RTS, this one is almost unplayable. Second, they wanted to add a bit of "Civilization-like" aspect to the game. Even make it a strategy game I guess. Well here are the different strategic options: Kill your ennemies, conquer your ennemies, mind control your ennemies, destroy your ennemy, and whatever your choice is, make it fast, before you run out of missiles of course. Third, the game is also an RPG. You have characters, points to allow to the different abilities of your civilization. (ahem)
This is "really cool" if you know what I mean. Finally, I dont care what people say, this game looks ugly, the sprites look like squished fruitflies on your screen, and they move about as fast as a bunch of tetraplegic snails. Nice cinematics though.
Good Job Sierra

Summary: Not worth the 2 cent disk it's on
Review: This game promised a lot, but failed miserably. It has ok graphics, but the gameplay is slow and on some computers there's a time delay. If you like ages of empires then you'll like this, but otherwise spend your money on Civ 3 or Europa Universalis.
