Summary: Awesome in Many Respects...but Missing Something
Review: I picked this one up in the bargain bin @ Marshalls. I was truly suprised at how good it is, (patched to 2.0 immediately).The graphics make battles almost cinematic, and you can zoom in to eye level and back out to sky high easily and intuitively, (I use a mouse wheel). Great job on the UI. The timespan is so great that often a game ends half way through the available epochs. In order to get to the Nano age I had to start in Renaissance. But, I find that something is missing from this one. I loved AOE/AOC and I think what is missing is some kind of strategy. It seems as though you just plough through the ages as quickly as possible to get the most powerful weapons sooner than everyone else. There doesn't seem to be strong differentiation of the races in economic or military attributes. Hence, there is little change in gameplan from scenario to scenario. It's well worth the bucks, especially at bargain bin prices.

Summary: Don't buy this game..even at this price
Review: EE is a classic example of an over-engineered game. A couple of reasons:
1)While some people might like the appeal of the massive time line it encompasses, it just seems cheezy to me to have jet fighers facing off against cavalry.
2) The AI is devious. That would be a good thing if you had all the time in the world, but actually hunting down a single unit to win the game is annoying. Also, when you are playing against two or more AI players, once you attack one the other(s) comes in and hammers you. The manual discusses this explicitly and warns of the impending consequences, but it still doesn't make any sense. It is almost like you are playing all the AI players at once from the very first nanosecond of the game. Some players may find this a challenge, but I feel cheated. At least in other games the AI players take time to realize that you are progressing too quickly and then band together. EE's approach is unrealistic and nonhuman.
3) Units. Three words to describe - rocks, scissors, paper. Yawn. It makes sense, but EE emphasized this to the point of absurd across the timeline (other reviewers joke about bowmen taking out a tank or somesuch folly - it really isn't funny if the tank is your unit.) And the controls are fickle and not terribly intuitive. For instance, I never figured out how to effectively use the modern artillery cannon,
4) Graphics and gameplay. (Warning - conspiracy theory alert.) I have this theory that whenever a computer game is about to be improved upon from a graphics perspective the game studio and its programmers rally around a new graphics technology that differentiates their appproach from the past product. It simply must be better because it is NEWER. Well, IMO the graphics are annoying and lack certain elements to give you the geewhiz 3D that you don't even need. This slows down everyone's PC (read all the reviews) and doesn't make a difference towards gameplay. In some respects, it may hamper the gameplay. In summary this game was frustrating and annoying after about three weeks. I still find myself playing AOEII more than any other game on the market. And that really is the major point, once the novelty wears off, what game do you want to own. Not this one, IMHO.

Summary: Great Game Real time empire building
Review: Empire Earth is a cross between Warcraft and Age of Empires. Build an empire and take over the world. Great funny for the whole family. I saw a copy for $5.50!!! Buy it. Enjoy it. Many hours of game play. Great Yule gift, and since it is an older game it is cheap now. Wyatt Kaldenberg

Summary: Possibly the GREATEST GAME EVER
Review: This game is one of the most magnificent and well rounded games ever. Firstly, I would like to warn a certain audience of gamers. This game IS NOT IN ANY MEANS for people who don't like to "think" in their gaming. This is for those who love to MASTER something, and it takes a long time. The graphics are amazing, even in 2003, two years after its release, its playability is nearly endless- as long as you love it. I can sort of see it as a cult game- those who like it, love it; and those who dislike it, hate it. The AI is decent enough to play constantly, but it really shines in Humanvs.Human play, where the over 120 units can create COUNTLESS strategies. Land, Naval, Air combat is amazing. Using the zoom, you can view battles from an amazing point of view. Nuclear bombers, aircraft carriers, cruise missile subs, all this is included. There is 5 resource types, and tons of buildings and technologies. The only thing that is slightly disappointing is the diplomacy(AI), which is really non-existent. However, features like the Civilization creator and the in-depth campaigns easily make up for it. I suggest this game for a gamer who loves to play games intelligently, who is a perfectionist, and who likes multiplayer gaming. It is in my opinion the greatest computer game ever created. Thank you Sierra!!!!

Summary: Wow
Review: I thought there can never be a better strategic game then AOE.
How wrong I was. Empire earth is heaps better and it's more addictive then AOE.
I think it's important to add that Empire Earth is not a game that freezes your computer as some other games do. It is a perfect game by all means.
Before you start playing it - make sure you have plenty of time!!

Summary: Dont Listen to Other Reviews
Review: Don't listen to the other people reviewing the game. They obvious dont know how to run the game the right way. If it is to slow, turn the resolution down. This makes it run faster and it still has great graphics. This game is the best real-time strategy out there. There are tons of units and epochs to travel through. Empire Earth has the greatest replay value ever because the maps and computer is different all of the time. Also, the multiplayer invironment is the best it can be. You can challange people from all around the world. The people who are saying the game is too hard obvisously shouldn't be gamers at all. My advise is to definately BUY this game. Try it and you will see how much fun it is. P.S- If you are going to review a game, make sure you play it first instead of bashing it without trying it.

Summary: One of my favorite games
Review: EE is one of the best "civ" construction games I have ever played. Unlike the Civilization series (which is a bit complex for me) or the Caesar series (which is a tad archaic at times), EE is really fun and very interesting. Never the same game twice, I highly recommend Empire Earth.

Summary: Review from the Tribes 2 Gamer
Review: I had never played a RTS game until EE, but let me tell you, after the detailed tutorial and a few random maps(skirmish mode) I was all set. Unlike what some people say, the game is n00bie friendly if you pay attention to certain balances(i.e. F-117's trash everything but AA's, towers, walls, and F-15's). Three of the Campaigns are historically correct(the fourth one, Russia, is in the future). You can play as the Greeks and fight the Battle of Troy and actually make the Trojan horse. There is also the English Campaign where you must help young William in his struggle to power, later on you must fight Napoleon and his army. One of my favorites is the German Campaign where you will fight with Allied forces for control of Europe(you even get the Red Baron). After WWI, you get to try out some of the early stages of WWII. Finally, you have the Russian Campaign in which you must help a young man named Grigor to evade pursuit by the Russian government, then reconquer the former states of the USSR. This has got to be one of the best games I've ever played, if you don't have Empire Earth yet, you should seriously consider buying it. *Note* One reviewer said something about sharpshooters with different health, that was probably because the AI either upgraded the health or got the ranged infantry health Civ bonus.

Summary: The best in depth RTS ever!
Review: Empire Earth is probably one of the most realistic RTS (and best)games to date. You can play and fight at the beginning of time, or in the future, or anytime in between. The units are very realistic and acurate to each time period, and in this game, it is very important to stay ahead technology wise. Remember capitalism 2? It has the same idea, but it's a RTS and MUCH more fun. One thing I really like is that you can't mass units. You have to have a good mix of units to win because ever unit has advantages and disadvantages, so a good army will have 3-10 different types of units, or maybe even more. Although the game is harder to learn than most other RTSs, it is a well worth it, and a great addition to anyones collection. PROS
+Many different units with their own characteristics.
+14 epocs with it's own set of units and buildings, and look.
+Very customisable.
+Doesn't require and extremely fast computer to play but takes full advantage of really good computers.
+So many stratagies are possible.
+Fun for many hours.
+The better the computer, the better the graphics.(Looks awesome on awesome computers).
+Great sound effects.
+Deffinently not another generic RTS. CONS
-Big battles get jerky on computers barely meeting system requirements.
-Online laggy without broadband.
-AI good but could be better. If you have a computer that can run this game, get it. It's worth it.

Summary: Worsest Game Ever
Review: This is a horrible game of the year. The graphics are good but the units, and chalenges are bad, and I will explain right now, why.
1. The Musketeer suppose to have a sword not a gun.
2. Priests are being converted easily. Infact, if you have one and computer have three, he will take away not only your priest but a whole army too. That means that the army that have been conquered by your opponent will defeat you. Even if you will be creating and upgrading your troops, computer will win in any case.
3. B-52's and Titan bombers attacking viciouslly. They can destroy with 1 atomic bomb 3 buildings and kill more then 15 troops.
I lost a game to Germany when I was playing Atomic Age-
-WW2, atleast 3 B-52's attack me and I lost. The attack continued for about 1 min. I had atleast 10 buildings before the attack, now I have 0, this is outrageous!
4. Priests can't convert buildings before Imperial Age. Thats like for 8 levels without power to convert. In AOE I began to convert buildings in 3rd level, but what they have here is outrageous!
5. Priests can't convert ships from Middle Age- Industrial Age. Even if I have 3 priests I can't convert even Frigate-Royal (Industrial Age).
In AOE I have converted all ships (exept for demolition).
6. The computer likes to cheat.
Let I tell you what I mean by that, example: when you are playing Imperial Age-Industrial Age you have a barracks unit called the sharpshooter, while your guy have 535 hit points your opponent with the same guy will have 575 hit points.
Infact your Sharpshooter can kill the guy with two shots, while your opponents Sharpshooter can fire only one shot, plus the opponents Sharpshooter can take away 400 hit points, while yours can take away only half of it.
7. When you creating hero, he will not do aNY damage to your oponent. Why then Sierra created such kind of a dull machine?!
8. Carriers carying from 10-12-14 units, while in AOE from 5-10-20.
Thats it for today, I hope that many people will understand that they are waisting money on this game. I paid for this game $....and I don't recieved any fun from it, only disappointment.
I sugest to all customers buy games like Age of Empires,
Starcraft, and Red Alert 2.
