    What impresses us the most is the sheer size of it -- each epoch feels fleshed out and playable, and every era has its own nuances, so it's almost like getting 14 games in one.

    Chock full of 200 units from 14 Epochs and about 60,000 years of evolution, Empire Earth can't help but quench your thirst for ultra-realistic and incredibly encompassing strategy game play.

    My main gripe comes from the game's seeming inability to provide consistent gameplay...the game's performance couldn't equal its scope. [Jan 2002, p.95]

    Being the INCOMPETENT type of gamer who simply can't win competiitve games like PVP strarcraft, I always enjoyed playing the soft RTS like this one on easy mode, and just racing ahead of the AI and making a nice safe walled up corner and mind my own business, enjoying the new animations for each new era. Empire Earth was plenty of fun for a soft touch RTS. When you git sick of playing you could role out the bombers and nuke the AI off the map, all in time for bed. The progression of new units over time was a nice dynamic to keep the game play fresh.… Expand

    Empire Earth contains a lot of content. a little bit too much content for me, with like 24 very similar civs and about 120 optioins to make your own, over 300 units i think, and way too many things to build....not much strategy here, but it looks decent and the campaigns are more fun....the german one was excellent in particular...but i think i would rather play the 4 very different civ world of warcraft 3 or starcraft..which both offered much more strategy. it almost reaches the crown of the next great age of empires type game, but i cant say its that great.… Expand

    Painful and slow gameplay make it incomprehensible that this game actually came after Age of Empires I. To me it feels like a primitive predecessor of that classic game in every way.… Expand
