A simple waste.

User Rating: 3 | Empire Earth III PC
Waste of time, waste of money, waste of computer space. Too little units, too little AI, too many crashes, too many bugs and too much money for a game that holds none of the pleasing graphics showed in previews.

It was entertaining with the demo, I give it that. It was fun at first, but once your game begins crashing it occurs more and more often. I've had it three days now, and it didn't crash at all the first day, once or twice the second day, and now I can't even load a skirmish map on World Domination anymore.

You get only a handful of units as far as variety goes, and gets less and less the farther you get, instead of increasing. Unlike most of the reviews I've read, I actually got a good chuckle out of the units comic attitudes, but they get repetitive. After a few fights I got sick of how unimaginitive they all were, however entertaining it was chasing people on camels away with tanks that shoot flames.

I was hoping to see some incredible looking units from the previews I saw, but there arent even any videos in the game that look good besides the opening video

I never like to review a game without playing through it completely and giving it a chance, but again, the crashes refuse to let me finish. The building constructing is lame, and I was personally wishing I could literally develope my own empire, customize them how I wish, I've never played any of the Empire Earth series before, and probally won't buy anything that hold the name on the box anymore.

Download the demo if you want to play the game, that's the best it will get. There is no way this game was worth 50 clams, buy something else. Speaking of buying something else, could anyone who happens to read this point me towards a more stable RTS game? Like I said, full customization is more my style. I used to play a game at my buddies years ago, and I kick myself for not remember it's title so I could look for the series, but designing my own fortress would be a plus. Any ideas? lol :P
