This is true war this isint stupid battlefor middle earth were you get a 200 or 400 pop this is random maps so its more exiting bigger pops for more epic fights it has weather months everything a real war is.Pick a civilization pick a color pick the climate if you want lots of rivers,islands mountains hills lakes you name it pick from a wide timeline to have your war

What would be awsome is the option to build trenches or mortor pits.Now that would be sweet!

Much better that original...

I like it. Its much easier to defeat than the old one. Some of the concepts are the same, others are changed beyond recognition.
Cheats are there, but in smaller quantities. But they are not needed to defeat the AI on easy. Some new units never really come into play.

Great game, Great concepts, too bad some units look silly in certain Epochs

A great RTS game that makes some great game play additions and intergrates great new features that will be considered mandatory for future RTS games.

The only problem I found was that some units that appear in certain Epochs don't have unit appearence considered appropriate for that Epoch. Look at scouts in the final 4 Epochs, and spies in Epochs 12-13 or 14. Same great function thoughout the game, but spies appear as a 1900's looking unit for too long, and scouts in the final Epoch look like those who explored early North America, where the year for the Epoch reaches far into the 21st Century. These are just examples, others can be seen, and it makes certain Epochs look silly.

A great game, some minor unit-looking tweaks would be nice, but other than that a great game to add to your RTS collection.

Great Game But Confusing

This game is excellent! The graphics are great and I love the abundance of features in this game! It is certainly an improvement over the original Empire Earth. However, the game does take a little getting used to and can be confusing.

Gee I really liked Empire Earth Gold. So I put EE2 on my wish list and got it. What a bummer! These guys took a great game where you could play from the begining of civilization and trashed it. So tommorrow 2 days after Xmas I am selling this dog and hopefully will get a tenth of the price for it.

Not that good

i thought the the new empire earth II would be as thrilling and exciting as the first version. Wrong. Requieres too much ram resources, and the game it's just not fun anymore, even tough has some cool new features but the game isn't friendly enough.

Good Game - Needs an expansion

The game is good. I played EE1 and really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed EE2 as well. However, don't expect to jump in and crack on 9 enemy AI heads. The lag is horrid. Even on a new system (P4 3.4, x700 PCI-E and 2GB of RAM) I was lagging after 20 mins.

The game offers great replayability. However, I can see myself getting bored until the next expansion comes out. Not as good as Civ 3, but definately up there.

Dont Blame EE2

This game is much more complex and involved than its predecessor. The graphics aren't perfect, but the gameplay is outstanding.

If you enjoy RTS games, you must have this.

Doesnt work

The only good this game is good for is crashing your computer. when it works it extremely slow and unplayable. You have to hack the configuration files just to get it somewhat playable when it should work right out of the box. The developer abandoned support. If you get it working for the 10 minutes that it does work the graphics are terrible. Empire Earth 1 is better, the graphics were better and the game was playable. What happened this time??

Do not buy this game. Save your $50 and get Rise of Nations or Empire Earth 1 instead. Wait until this in the 9.95 bargin bin if you want to try this junk out. Mad Doc please spare us Empire Earth III.
