Empire Earth 3 is easily one of the best RTS games of 07-Unless you count graphics.
User Rating: 9.5 | Empire Earth III PC
I must be one of the only people to purchase this game. And that's very sad. Everyone should enjoy this hit. The demo and 1.0 patches suck, but 1.1 is going good for me. The 1.1 patch alone jumped my rating to this from 7.8. The game is crying for an early expansion, and if they can get a small 10 buck one out by February, this game will be just as good, if not better than Halo 3, Bioshock and just tip past Command and Conquer 3, which is just as good at this game.It is a bit late in the year, when all the expansions to the earlier released games come out.Now to the actual review. The graphics of this game are worse than most 1999 games, so if you want a game that looks fantastic buy C&C instead.The pathfinding for AIs is fabulous, easily makes up for graphics.The voices for West and Middle East are great; Far East players may want to wait until a mod gets released for better Far East voices.Ya know, you could always rip the Chinese sounds from Generals...... The Gameplay is pretty average of A-List RTS. I had a little trouble with the corner interface and the fact that you couldn't zoom out, but if you ask me this game is the new RTS to get.
