Summary: The Game I always wanted to play...
Review: Sorry, only have a few minutes before I will need to return to the game. Let me try to do this quick.This game covers ALL of history broken down intoo 14 different epochs. All the epochs play differently, from Cavemen towing logs to bash down wooden towers, right through Bronze armed Roman Centurions charging on horseback, past the Castle strewn ages of the Vikings, and then into the smoke clouded battlefields of the 17th and 18th centuries, soon, the early tanks and bi-planes of the first World War show up, then through WWII and the modern day with Cruise missiles and flamethrowes, M1 Tanks and snipers, followed by a future with mechanized 'bots routing steadfast human infantry with specilaized powers that create electrical storms or time warps...'n more!
I don't really have the space to mention Prophets and their powers: Volcanos, hurricanes...
I don't really have the time to go into Heroes: letting Napolean or Caesar lead your armies.
I don't have words to describe how fun it is to plan your city with Temples or Hospitals covering all your people just right. I don't have the words to tell you how deep this game is. There are 14 Epochs in all...14 different games to play. Play on-line vs. your buddies or play some really fascinating historical Campaigns or do like me and just keep trying to beat the smartest Computer player I've ever played against. The huge random maps create new mountain ranges and Oceans that make the game fresh every time. For those inclined the Scenario editor looks to be able to re-create any kind of Campaign a player can imagine, be it from the past, present or the future. People are already making them availble on-line. The replayability is endless. Did I say this was the most involving, interesting, deep, exciting and plan old FUN game I have every installed on my PC? It is. Must go return to the game now. I've done all I can for you people.

Summary: Wonderful, Glamorous!
Review: This is probably the best RTS I've ever played in my life, excluding the almighty Age of Empires II: Age of Kings, and the expansion Age of Empires II: The Conquerors. But otherwise I give this game a full 5 stars, the zoom level is new and an excellent addition to this game as it lets you get up close and see the exciting battles. The 14 epochs just amaze me to the level where this game is so big, so huge, no other RTS has been there before. This game is a TRUE "REAL-TIME STRATEGY"!

Summary: Better than Age of Empires?
Review: I was expecting game play similiar to that of Age of Empires as Empire Earth packaging states "from Rick Goodman, Lead Designer of Age of Empires". I was quite disappointed in game play and interface. While I thoroughly enjoyed Age of Empires II, I found Empire Earth to be overly complicated. In addition to numerous military pieces, each also had several variables. And remember, that military piece will be antiqued in just a few minutes then you have to learn new ones! Also, trying to keep track of which type of warrior could beat whom is frustrating. It's far worse than the simple scissors, paper, rock. Did you notice the price drop from $49.99 to $19.99? And this game just came out.

Summary: Bad copy of AOK
Review: If you played and liked AOK, don't buy this game. Here are a few points to think about:
1. Graphics are bad (every thing is small with no detail) even in 640x480. The movement detail is terrible, you can't even tell the units from one another. Oh yeah, I know, the graphics would look much better if you have one of those new NV video cards at [amt] a piece (well, AOK does not need one).
2. Action is bad, you can't tell if your archers for example are involved in a battle or just standing idle (hardly can see any flying arrows). Same for almost all the other units. You can't even tell if you are winning or loosing a battle, all you hear is (whahhh, ouuuuha, eeeeh) then either all your troops are dead or all the enemy troops are.
3. Too slow (even on my 800MHZ CEL) Don't see how you will ever play this online (what? wait 10 minutes to take turns?). AOK plays fine on my 400MHZ CEL and thats while hosting a game).
4. Not fun, you won't play this game more that once or twice. Buy it you will find out why.
5. The product is probably a result of dis-agreement on the future of AOK which led Mr. Goodman to leave and start this project to implement his own ideas. Good thing ES was mature enough to stop this type of thinking from leaking into AOK or next releases.
6. I am not a Microsoft or ES fan, I actually used to get excited when new software was released for other OS brands such as OS/2 hoping for the fall of Windows, but I have to admit that AOK is definitely the winner by far.

Summary: Your own Empire Ha?
Review: The grafhics are high quality, and the story is very original. This game combines two games; Civilazation, and Age of Ampires. The idea of the game is similer to Age of Ampires, but the target is similer Civilazation.

Summary: Empire Earth - Steals the Empire away from Age of Empires
Review: Empire Earth is just the game to dethrone such heavy weight strategy games such as Age of Empires II and Starcraft. This game resembles Age of Empires II. The difference between the two games can be found in that this game spans the historical battles through 500,000 years whereas Age of Empires II only spans 1,000 years. This game represents historical accuracy from the Battle at Waterloo (Napoleon) and to WWI (Red Baron). There is even a battle at Normandy (You know from Saving Private Ryan... with all those tank blockades on the beach and the pillboxes?) Although this game has only one view (A side view) it is 3D modeled and there is a zooming function. The gameplay is smooth and the graphics are nice. There are so many civilizations that can be built in multiplayer mode (You can choose countries) and also upgrade upon weapons and civilization options utilizing the civilization points. In multiplayer you can even create your very own civilization from scratch and even build playable campaigns (build enough of the scenarios and it can be a new game). First person games tend to be quite short - with four different campaign civilizations to choose from (German, English, Greece, and Russia). There are 10 levels for each campaign. The German campaigns take place from WWI-WWII. The English campaigns take place between 10th Century - 19th Century. The Greece campaigns begin from Stone Age and the Russian campaign begin from the Digital Age of 2010 - 250 years later in the Nano Age.
A player can build heroes for each different era during gameplay. Some of the greater moments in this game is the ability to build aircraft and aircraft carriers (even stealth bombers that carry nukes) and to later upgrade them once you reach a new epoch or era (such as Digital Age to Nano Age). There are too many tanks, mechs, soldiers, fighter and bomber planes, and naval ships to even begin to list them all (They all change when you reach a new
epoch). This game is a must buy for serious strategy PC Gamers (If you are somebody who loves to cheat, there are currently no cheat codes for the single player mode but there are cheats for multiplayer mode). Buy this game if you love the Age of Empires games but are starting to grow tired of playing them.
Gameplay = 8/10
Graphics = 7/10
Sound = 7/10
Value = 7/10

Summary: not very good
Review: This game is a very good game but very hard to play and takes up 400 mb on your computer also is very slow. If you want a better game but still almost the same theme for a cheaper price just buy age of empiers 2 and it expantion pack. It is a lot better than this game.

Summary: Time to be a part of the EE legend.
Review: Some RTS (real time Strategies) touch upon the past. Other are trapped in the future. Empire Earth is one of the first to span the ages in 14 Epochs passing fin the 22nd century. What first caught my eye about this game was the trailer released this spring showing mankind evolvement from a tribe of rock toting scavengers to mechanized Titans bending time and space. At first glance you might be overwhelmed by the shear size of the game but the authors where wise enough to allow the players to specify Starting and ending Epochs, resources, and even number of workers. The game is both pleasing to the eye and fun to play and unlike many RTS to date build orders (a specific way to build units that will win every game) can not be developed to make the game obsolete. The openings are randomized to such an extreme that even the "Pro" may be thrown off as to what to do. Why is this important? Well it gives every player in the game a chance to win. The standard paper, rock, scissor, theme used in matching units so no one unit can dominate has been so refined that some units can only kill another type. This makes for a more realistic game. The zoom feature brings out the detail of the game and the 3-D effects can be breath taking. The AI (artificial Intelligence) used to make units attack or retreat is one of the most advanced to date. Not only does it work well in Multiplayer games but many players have comment on how well it handle single player games. The Empire Earth community on line is growing everyday and at MFO ( ...) new players join the ranks everyday. The only short coming of the game is the Multiplayer feature which has software that needs updating but Sierra representatives have assured this update is on the way and indeed on the server end improvement has already come. This would well be a 5 star game if the server issue was resolved. Pros: Outstanding Graphs
State of the art AI
Flexible starts and finishes Cons: Multiplayer (which is being addressed) I feel the game can be played by expert to amateur alike and you shouldn't miss this opportunity of getting a piece of gaming history which has won twice
"The Game of the Year."

Summary: Good beginning
Review: Empire Earth is a lot of fun. Let me start with that. Its span is enormous and requires you to change your strategy when moving thru Epochs. That is a big challenge. It is also very well balanced. There is not a single strategy that will always work in a given Epoch. There are no single unit types that are the ones you must create to win. If the enemy has a certain type you can always counter with a unit that is well suited for the task.
The computer plays very well in single player mode. It is not a given that you will beat it even at the Easy setting, in fact I have only beaten it a few times and I have had the game for a month now. The multiplayer support is fairly well implemented and works well as far as I can tell.
It does have bugs and the multiplayer interface is rudimentary. There is no market where you can trade a resource that you have alot of for one that you need which I thought was a good feature of Age of Empires.
I am sure that this will be a very good game once the next patch comes out and I am looking forward to the first expansion set.

Summary: Unlimited Possibilities
Review: I was unsure whether to buy this game or not because I have a laptop which is only 1.13ghz and after reading some of the reviews on slow play, I was worried.
After playing a while, I realized my laptop was just fine. In fact, the game moves very fast. The scroll rate is good and the interface allows you to quickly round up your troops and move them around the board. I have to set the gameplay to slow under the options menu, so I can keep up with the AI.
There are learning senarios and campaigns to play. I like the senario editor which allows you to build what ever you want in whatever epoch you want. For example, I will sometimes give one enemy a dozen tanks and give myself 2 A-10's.
There are unlimited senarios you can create, which should make this a game that will last for years.
The giant map is "Giant". You can have 16 computer opponents. You can give them what ever you want or start them in any age. It takes at least a minute for a Gunship helicopter to traverse the giant map.
I think the graphics are good, considering the size of the game (1200 units can be active). You can zoom in on your machine gunner as he wipes out a row of archers.
The computer AI is tough, while you are launchin an amphibious assault against your purple neighbors to the NE, fifty red infantry will storm your village from the south.
There are just too many good things to say about this game. Another feature tells you at the end of the game the time you've played (14h23m10s), the number of mouse clicks you've done (4382) and the number of hotkeys you've pressed (264). Boy, I should get a life... Right now my girlfriend is playing, she added a couple of Cyber warriors to help defeat the WWII computer opponents. Well buy this game, it's great, and I am tight when it comes to buying games. I've been burnt too many times, except with this, AOEII, RCT....
