4.0 out of 5 stars Great Sequel, 1 May 2005
I have been playing this now for two days. The main thing that strikes me is the quality of the graphics. For those of you that played Empire Earth and enjoyed it then you will love this. Some neat new features have been included including the ability to rotate the camera around.
For those of you who didn't play the original, the game combines elements of Age of Empires II and the settlers. For those of you expecting the involvement that you get from the likes of Rome total war, then you will be disappointed it aimed at the more pick up and play market.
Good points
Great Graphics
Great game play
Ability to span 15,000 years worth of development
On the down side
The advances at an incredible rate (as per the original) even on the easiest level I find I am still using cavemen when his B52 comes in to wipe me out
The game requires a good PC to run it, it runs fine on my desktop (AMD FX53, ATI X800XT, 2GB RAM) however it really struggles on my laptop (P4 2.6Ghz, G4 4200Go, 512mb RAM) so make sure your PC is up to spec before parting with your hard earned cash!

4.0 out of 5 stars It was fun......., 23 Jul 2005
By Jasper Wong "jbywong" (Beijing, China) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Empire Earth 2 is a good strategy game. It is, as it's name suggests, the second of the series. It is basically the same game as Empire Earth 1. Since Empire Earth 1 was extremely fun,this is a good thing.

But, the title was it WAS fun, not it is fun. When I first bought it, it was amazing. I created many spearmen, and told them to explore, and they soon found the opponent civilization. Then I started to attack and had a very hard time (it took 3 hours) to defeat the enemy. However, after a few times, I found that it was pretty ordinary, and very basic, as the entire game is about 'attack the enemy'. Basically the aim of the game it to eradicate the enemy. You can become more technologically advanced, but still the aim is to destroy the enemy. A good strategy is simply to attack anything that isn't yours. This gets repetitive after a while, and you really cannot play this game for long (unlike other games where you can choose whether to build a huge civilization with amazing treasures and wonders or choose to build a magnificent but strong army and civilization. The main storyline can get quite boring at times, especially when you have to keep destroying troops again and again.

Graphics: The graphics are raher primitive. The zoom-in view gives you a good view of your troops, but it is useless, as you cannot command them in it. To command your troops you have to zoom out, where the graphics are dated. Also, there is no rotate button, meaning that you have to keep looking at your troops at one view, meaning that if you cannot reach a few troops, you have to keep scrolling along the screen.

Empire Earth is a good game with a good main storyline, even if it can get repetitive at times. However, I only played and enjoyed it in the first few days.

5.0 out of 5 stars OMG!, 6 Aug 2006
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This game is much better than the origenal with the MUCH better graphics and new civilisation powers and special units. The addition of weather and seasons makes the game that little bit hardder.

However. Having said that there is one poroblem. As I said the graphics are excellent and because thay are so good the game has a fair amount of lage.

Apart for that I would strongly recomend buying this game :)
