Empire Earth III

A complete let down

User Rating: 1.5 | Empire Earth III PC

I was a big fan of the original Empire Earth and so when i saw this for £19.99 in Gamestation I decided to buy it(at the disapproval of my other half lol). Reading the box i was very very excited to play the game and couldn't wait, but as soon as it loaded, from the menu onwards it was downhill. Cartoon graphics, corny dialogue, less than adequate graphics to name a few problems with the game. There is nothing to draw you in at all.

The game doesn't really improve on anything from the original, when I first loaded up a skirmish i felt as though i was playing Warcraft 3. This game is a complete let down and would recommend people stay clear rather than wasting your money away.

The only good i can find is younger people or people new to RTS games may enjoy it, but anyone who has played any serious RTS series before(like Age of Empires, C&C, Warcraft etc) will be in for a huge let down.

The multiplayer part of the game is a slight improvement but not enough to save the game by any respect. I have to say that i've been put off the Empire Earth series and will proberbly play Age of Empires 3 again from now on.

  I bought Empire Earth III because I was a devout follower of the Empire Earth series. That was until I bought Empire Earth III. EE3 is a bastardization of the Empire Earth series, as much of a bold, new direction for ... Read Full Review
