Please tell me I am dreaming! Seriously!
If you satisfy all of these conditions then, this is your game
- You like extremely shallow games
- You want to have a reason to reduce you computer into metal shards
- You want to look at cheesy animation and graphics
- You like spending $[...] for a pile of junk
- You want to use it as a prank birthday gift
- Plenty more, but I don't feel like writing for the sake of this game
Get the point? This game is HORRIBLE! DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!
This is the worst game I have ever played (besides Bionicle), the only reason I am even bothering to write this review is so all of you buyers can be warned of this game (technically, this doesn't even qualify as a game, games are supposed to be fun!).
I like the Empire Earth series, and the previous games were really fun, but this on the other hand, is quite the opposite.

I have played each empire earth version always impressed at the strides made with each successive version...until this one. It looks like EE III was redesigned to better cater to players interested in a first person shooter (FPS) game instead of an RTS. The variations of the different cultures and their technology evolutions were completely thrown out in favor of 3 basic cultures: western, eastern and middle eastern. The more advanced technological stages were diluted and "cartoonified" into something resembling a weak PS3 game. The bottom line is that it looks like if you are interested in a rich gaming experience with plenty of variation and some realism thrown in, go this Age of Empires III. It is everything this game isn't.

I am extremely disappointed with Empire Earth 3.
Having played both EE 1 and 2, I had high expectations for EE3, especially considering how vastly better EE2 was than EE1. However, I have been let down for these two main reasons:
1. EE is now too simple. EE1 and EE2 had such complexity and depth of strategy and customization; the developers didn't treat the gamers as idiots. You had to actually think to play the game. Now, the techs are reduced, the epochs are not only short in advancing from one to another, but lack complexity in each epoch to make someone want to stay in a particular epoch for too long.
2. EE3 has performance issues. Granted, my computer isn't a dedicated gaming rig, but with a 8800GT 512mb video card, a Q6600 quad core and 3 gigs of ram, one would expect the graphics to run at least somewhat smoothly. However, at the lowest graphical settings and with nothing else running in the background, EE3 still manages to run slow during skirmishes, and unplayable in Earth-view

This is the worst game I have ever owned. It seems like a cross of the video play of Zeus or Poseiden and Rise of Nations. Please save your money and spend it on a good game like pong.

I loved the gaming experience of the open skirmishes of EEII Exp. and the graphic quality was good. These guys at MadDoc completely ruined this game. The graphics are poor at best even at the more extreme settings. Performance is atrocious. The user interface has changed for the worse. Game play suffers greatly compared to EEII. Apparently they were not able to use the original game engine and it certainly shows. I completely wasted $50 on this worthless gaming experience. I've been playing strategy games since the original Command and Conquer and beleive me you WILL be dissappointed if you buy this mess. Since we can't return opened games, please show these misrepresenting jerks by not purchasing this rip-off.

The EMPIRE EARTH series have always been the poor relative of SID MEYER's CIVILIZATIONs. Their downfall was mostly their over-complication - in this way, limiting their audience. So EE2 come and went mostly unnoticed; well, this release can be considered payback.
There are a number of groundbreaking innovations in this third installment. The first thing you notice is the global perspective. In a (real or randomly created) planet earth map (similar to the one in RISK III, yet much more detailed and interactive) strategic movements and provincial decisions are made. Improvements are built and battles are fought in the provinces level, in maps both detailed and beautifully rendered.
You too will love the graphics! Whereas CIVILIZATION went the way of unit realism (which sometimes fails in those scales), EMPIRE EARTH III features clear "cartoonish" units (similar to greatly improved versions of WARCRAFT III units) with natural movements. Buildings, aided by their size, are much more realistically

The EMPIRE EARTH series have always been trying to occupy the ground between the CIVILIZATION and the AGE OF EMPIRES franchises. Their downfall was mostly their over-complication - in this way, limiting their audience. So EE2 (although a great game!) came and went mostly unnoticed; this was the release that should have been the comeback. Well, it managed to come back as AGE OF EMPIRES 2½ - at most..
