 Much better than Age of Empires August 26, 2004
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
While Age of Empires only lets you control the far past, Empire Earth includes the past, the present, and even the future. There are a lot of great units which evolve as you progress through ages. The graphics are also much better than those in AOE. It is also full 3D. Also, the different scenarios, units, and structures are historically accurate. This includes the ancient Greeks and Romans, WWI, WWII, and much more. If you liked Age of Empires, you'll love Empire Earth. I highly recommend it.
Improves upon the classic Age of Empires formula August 18, 2004

Empire Earth could have easily been called Age of Empires 3 since the gameplay is so similar. As is typical with such games, resource collection, building institutions, and creating units is the bulk of gameplay. There are several ways to customize the game, including your choice of maps, civilizations, number of enemy civilizations, and so forth. One really good thing is that resources don't get depleted throughout the game, except for wood. That is, I was mining that same gold mine in epoch 8 as I was at the beginning of the game. Also, new units such as the hospital, prophets, wonders, and firearms add some interesting gameplay elements. I've only played the game once (for 12 hours straight!) and was defeated in the 8th epoch (Rennaissance?) by computer opponents who ganged up on me before I could maintain my 3 wonders for 2000 years. One thing that I noticed was that the gameplay is slow, largely due to the huge amounts of resources that you have to collect to advance through the ages. Also, the enemy AI is clever and ruthless even on the easiest difficulty setting. As with the Age of Empires games, diplomacy is a weak part of the game (also, there is no market for trading). Overall, I liked the gameplay, but I don't recommend trying to play through all 14 epochs--you can choose to limit the number you play--unless you don't mind playing the same game for days.
Graphics are decent. You can zoom in and out, but probably will not find a need to do so very often. They are an improvement over the graphics of the Age of Empires games, but not much. The music is okay and the special-effect sounds are nice. The villagers speak in English regardless of their civilization. If you enjoy strategy games or are a fan of the Age of Empires games as I am, you should like Empire Earth. However, in my opinion, this game is not the classic that these other games are because of its lack of originality and rather slow pace.
Just plain excellent July 28, 2004

I have only had the game for a few weeks, but I can tell I will be playing it for quite a while. Its AOE, Civilization, and Command&Conquer all rolled up. It is well worth the money, especially $20.
Awesome July 19, 2004

This is the best game ever made. It is just incredibly fun and there is no way you can't like it. I can't wait for the sequel because its going to be ten times better then perfect
Excellent multi-player game July 17, 2004
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a terrible single player game. Like most, the AI is either too simple a child could win or nearly impossible to win. As a multi-player game it is much better. With a player that can actually adapt to your strategy it really makes for intense battles. I have had this game for 2 years and still play it.
