Oversimplified game doesn't deserve the "Empire Earth" title.

As I finished up Empire Earth 2 I was satisfied with it, a good game offering loads of options and good graphics for its time. It was actually fun to conquer territories and read the battle reports afterwards, seeing your high-tech missile cruisers crush WWI style battleships and soforth.

When I played the demo of this game this was totally different. When I played the actual game itself at a friend, I was totally dissappointed. It seems as if the game was designed for people aged lower than 14.

Things that are missing from this game:
- Deep strategic thought before commencing attacks (war plans etc.)
- Actual realism when in a certain age
- Actual realistic epoch-development, there are only 5 epochs which severely insults history
- The requirement for a brain, the game is too simple for real EE fans, it doesn't distinguish itself from other standard RTS'es anymore
- A good world domination mode; again oversimplified
- A comfortable resource model

In short, this seems like an attempt to clone the best parts of other games (world domination, epoch advancement) but it fails at doing so while abandoning the old EE concepts. The graphics are ok, but graphics never make the RTS. In short, don't buy the game.. Wait for EE4 and hope it to be a revisit to the old EE1 and EE2 traditions.
