Before reading any further I should tell you something Im not a die hard RTS fan in fact Im not a fan at all.Few genres do I loathe more than RTS.The way the units arent actually being controlled by you ,the way most fights end up being a guy-with-the-biggest-army-wins affair .Yes I hate RTS (Age of empires,Warcraft,Command and Conquer(ahhhh..the first RTS i encountered ,threw it out the window when I noticed I wasnt having any actual fun)
But Empire Earth is different,its actually enjoyable the game hand-holds RTS novices like me so that in a short time and for the first time i enjoyed an RTS game.Empire earth is not too slow paced and neither is it too fast it hits the RTSphobias spot in game there are five resources to be gathered ,these resources are than used to build bases,units ,houses and the like ,all combat units are upgradeable but this is next to useless since the enemy magically upgrades theres to in about the sametime.
The single player campaign is the most fun even more fun than multiplayer where no-lives who spend years polishing there skills hand you your @$$ at regular intervals.The campaign missions are based on Historical events(at least if you close your eyes while playing the russian futuristic campaign) and so the game doubles as a history lesson.
So even if you hate RTS like me give this game a try it just may enjoy the only good RTS game ever made!!!

    From the first day I played this game, I've loved it! It has all of the things I've ever wanted in a game. Plus, it's just like Age of Empires, with a few differences. If you liked AoE, you WILL like this game even more!... Read Full Review
