Best RTS game! July 25, 2008 Empire Earth II is probably the best real time stratagy game made. I would choose thid game any day over a Civilization game or Age of Empires game. It is extremly detailed. From what you want your civilization to research in technology to what types of units you want to create. The Historical accuracy of this game is also amazing. Fight with the mighty Roman Empire or the lowly but powerful Minite Men of the American Revolution.
Overall this game is extremly fun. I suggest this game to anyone who loves History or RTS games.
Great graphics - Poor playability February 15, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have been playing Strategy games since 1985. I remember a game originally written for Unix computers that was illegally translated to the PC called Empire. The first RTS games like Age of Empires blew me away and I followed that line until Age of Mythology. At that point, I switched to The Empire Earth series and played Empire Earth until Empire Earth II was released. I couldn't wait to buy it, but I have been very disappointed. The game has great graphics and sound, but the computer opponents don't play very well and are pretty easily defeated. Age of Mythology chased me away from the Age of Empires series and Empire Earth II has chased me away from the Empire Earth series. I am now playing Age of Empires III. It is a much better game. If you are new to RTS games, you will have fun with Empire Earth II but if you have been doing this for a while, I would pass on this game.
very challenging game January 18, 2007 1 out of 5 found this review helpful
I purchased this game for my husband who is a computer game freak. This game is very challenging and very exciting. The graphics are fantastic.
awesome November 10, 2006 2 out of 5 found this review helpful
this game is the best strategy war game i have ever played! you can play the time epocs of caveman to future! you can build atom bombers, musketeers, ironclads, robots, battleships and millions of other units! make trade routes, declare war, make armys, and all kinds of things! even make your own costum battle! each different country has 3 special units that only they can make, for instance germanys 3 special units are barbarians, german knights, and panzers. BUY THIS GAME!!!!!
Not that good October 8, 2006 2 out of 6 found this review helpful
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.
