No variety, Boring Gameplay, Fair graphics, nothing new, Worse than EE2 -based on demo-
User Rating: 4 | Empire Earth III PC
When I played EE2, I was pretty happy playing it. They had a large variety in civilizations and unique units. The gamplay was pretty good and I had some fun. I didnt have much luck with multiplay. EE3, wow, they just bombed it. I can give it alot of negative classifications like "dont believe the hype" but "disasterous" sums it up. The tutorial was very boring and the new conquer territories in an entire planet thing wasnt new. The mission to destroy the rebel encampment did not show anything new either. The skrimish with several other fighting AI players also showed some bad characteristics. All the other units were the same and all the graphics details were bland. Basicly, its anceint age with medival styled units, early industrial age units, and futuristic units with nothing in between to see how they evolved. Suddendly, my bold-action rifleman with mustard gas gernades turned into a human/ machine robot with huge machine guns. The economy system was new but bad to. You would get money by building a market almost right next to your town center and a unit would travel back and fourth giving you money in a tiny travel distance. Basicly, you could say they chopped off the parts of a very rich in detail game and turned it into a little box with little variety and missing features of the past two games. EE2 had moderatly sized maps but EE3 had tiny maps which made me feel claustrophobic. Your units would walk through a valley of mountains or really something that looked like 20 foot hills. The trailors and cinimatics suggested huge battles where you would conquer the world but the demo suggested else. Supreme Commander had a ton of hype but it practicly meet it with its huge battles, etc. I think they killed the empire earth series. Oh well.... I have better games to play. The full game will definately be better but by how much? The demo basicly gave the game a bad first impression.
