This game fails on a level i have never seen before! Everything about this game is worse then it's predecessors! I played and loved the original empire earth! Loved it! Everything about the game was awesome for an RTS! The expansion was okay but not as good as the game, Empire earth 2 to me was just a rise of nations rip off and i did'nt like it very much, But this this pathetic excuse masquerading as a game really takes the fucken cake! More bugs then bf2, Crappiest voice acting ever(The engineers main builders for the west sound like a bad cross between fake brooklyn accent and wannabe jersey mobster accent) The AI is beyond horrible, The graphics are a step back from the original game, Resource gathering is a bitch(Only 2 resources and both very hard to attain when you are attacking) And worst of all everything that made the original empire earth great! Was taken out or chopped to an extent i would have not expected to see in any rts game. The Hud is terrible, Too many confusing buttons, Too little information when needed. There are only 5 epochs(Granted i have only been in the modern age but it says so right in the screen after you quit) All this adds up to the worst rts i have ever played! Whatever happened to rick goodmans vision of a true successor to Age of empires? See this is why you should never give up creative control to anyone! Out of all the bad things there are it does have 1 redeeming factor for me. I did'nt pay for it! Because it's the demo! But thats still bad because i spent 2 hours dl'ing 1.6 gigs of utter shit! Stay far far away from this game and i do mean far! If you do spend the 50$ it will be the worst purchasing mistake you will make for an rts.


Other thoughts.

Do not buy this game! Ever! Dont even DL the demo because it's a waste of your time and bandwidth which could be used for more important things like Porn and even more porn.

If you want a really good strategy game to play theres C&C3 or you can pickup the original EE for 10 bucks at a local game store.

This game had so much potential to be the true successor to the original Empire Earth not a refresh like EE2 was. But Mad doc ruined it really fucken ruined it! It's like they got some retards to write the game in alice using a speak and spell.

EE fails anyway. EE1 was okay back in the day (ie. Age Of Empires 2), but its just shite in comparison to anything now.

RON > all current civ RTSs

Total Annihilation > all RTSs

Agree but you gotta admit EE the original is still better then any other RTS with it's play style up to the release of C&C3

True but i never really liked the sequel and EE still had the slight advantage of not crashing on me when building more then a set number of units.(Depended on the map. Sometimes it would be over a hundred sometimes over two hundred, But EE even with 1000+ units on screen it did'nt freeze nor crash on my old pc)

Never played it might give it a go soon but when i have time.

Couldn't agree more.
I wasn't expecting much after EE2 but I couldn't belive my eyes when I installed my 'evaluation' version.
Gave a whole new meaning to the word BAD.

AoE2>AoE1.

I played AoE II on a Matrox Mystique with 16MB, 64MB system ram, and a 400Mhz K6. No problems, unless I tried to clone the cars too much.

I honestly hope you arent serious. Some of the best games of all time are RTS games.

Speaking of AoE3, it sucks SO much I cant believe it. Its like a big pile of shit thats been pissed on by a giraffe, eaten by a gorilla, then shit out again, AoE2 wasnt that great but it wasnt as horrible as AoE3 was with its horrible AI which for whatever reason always has better troops than you in nearly every situation even if they are 2 ages behind, horrible unit pathfinding, horrible units in general, the way it completely BUTCHERS history in its campaigns, its just a horrible game in general, Im glad I didnt spend money on it.

Never ceases to amaze with all the company of heros zealots.  The game is essentially Dawn of War: Dark crusade with different sprites and a couple different features.  Other then that, the game is nearly identical in gameplay and how units function and work. 

Dark Crusade > COH
