Empire Earth is an extraordinarily well put together game from almost any objective, "within the genre" perspective, as other reviews have mentioned the unit balance and combined arms aspect is excellent. The challenge factor is very high, and it's difficult to get much ahead of the AI in the normal game mode. You can have a LOT of units in exsistence all at once, and I often found myself wishing I could deputize other players, for example, to command my navy or helicopter fleet while I led the army or managed the economy. The game is a ton of fun, addictive, and will get inside your head.
And yet. There's no real way to negotiate with the computer players, and the goal of the game is either wonder construction or utter conquest. I almost always chose wonder construction, and the computer attacked my wonders with godawful savagery. When you're able to defend the wonders or crush all the other non-allied players, you win, and that's that. The creators of the game are either just looking to make a game and not a world sim, or are Machiavellian, zero-sum worldview security nuts of the Cleonic stripe. I eventually stopped playing the game altogether, because I couldn't deal with the endless war and the fact that the game gives you no way to make a lasting peace with your enemy. I feel this limited the game's replay value, and I wonder what the implications are, if such games are influencing a large number of people's worldview. We live in a troubled world ourselves, and we need to believe that peace between many nations is possible. Sadly, in Empire Earth, it is not.

This game is the best! You get to build walls (unlike any other stretagy games) which has high hit points (HP) to protect you from most enemies and it can help your team mates!Building walls is fun! you can even put gates! Heck why am I saying this to you? You should play the game yourself and see if you like it!

Even though it's not really fair, I tend to compare Empire Earth to Age of Empires II in my mind because they're so similar. Also since I'm a huge fan of Age of Empires II.
Empire Earth is a really nice game. The grapics are nice, it's nice to be able to select more than 40 units at once, it's great to be able to play from prehistoric times to the future and I like how modern prophets are basically bums wearing doomsday cardboard signs. It's really fun. It's amusing to create scenarios where you can have panzers fighting against hordes of swordsmen or rock throwers. The vast ammount of time it covers allows a lot of flexibility in creating your own scenarios.
My biggest complaints (that aren't significant enough to actually dent my opinion of the game) are the lack of Age of Empires II features. Maybe this is unfair because they're different games, but I miss being able to trade surplus resources in the market for resources I really need. I also don't like not being able to create trade cogs or trade carts.
However this is a fantastic game that every strategy gamer should at least try.
