    We especially liked the intense array of challenges always pressing in on our fledging world. Empire Earth II is a real-time strategy game on steroids.

    A fun, solid RTS. But that's all. It fatally lacks a sense of creative vision other than just being a bit better than "Rise of Nations," with its step-forwards more half-steps.

    A few years ago, Empire Earth II might have made the cut for fresh and innovative gameplay. Sadly, today it's simply a retread--and a poorly executed, tedious one at that.

    This game is a masterpiece. The unit response times are beautiful, there's a huge range of epochs - each home to different units and building types - even in the year 2009 the graphics are still sturdy and quite impressive. This game is simply great. No flaws what-so-ever. The online mode makes this game so great.… Expand

    disapointing the could patch it up to 8 of 10 for me if they improve the field of view, you see just too little to fight with your big units on the small screen, even medium formation of 8 tanks doesnt even fit on screen so all the nic ideas of war plans and so on are useless if yount make the big picture in the main screen.… Expand
