I got this game for my birthday by a friend, I hadn't asked for it or even heard of it. At the time, the other RTS style game was Age of Empires II. Empire Earth blows AOE out of the water. Some reasons:
Pros: -Cheaper -More options (Civilization, army, types of soldiers, maps, etc..) -Easily managable citizens/resource gatherers (My favorite part about the game) -2000 max population! -NO limit on men per army (Unlike AOE III where one can only control 50 men at a time. -Graphics -Epochs (pronounced "epic") -Battle graphics -More types of stats including lists of ones battles (also really cool) -Alliances and Trade is easy -Lastly, Technolegy plays a realistic role
Cons: -Occasionally lags -Very hard past "easy" setting
Well, there you have it. i would recommend this game to anyone. I own AOE III and I would play this over that. (BTW the EE 2 expansion is only $10 now, and I hear its good)
"Best RTS game!"

Empire Earth II is probably the best real time stratagy game made. I would choose thid game any day over a Civilization game or Age of Empires game. It is extremly detailed. From what you want your civilization to research in technology to what types of units you want to create. The Historical accuracy of this game is also amazing. Fight with the mighty Roman Empire or the lowly but powerful Minite Men of the American Revolution.
Overall this game is extremly fun. I suggest this game to anyone who loves History or RTS games.

I have been playing Strategy games since 1985. I remember a game originally written for Unix computers that was illegally translated to the PC called Empire. The first RTS games like Age of Empires blew me away and I followed that line until Age of Mythology. At that point, I switched to The Empire Earth series and played Empire Earth until Empire Earth II was released. I couldn't wait to buy it, but I have been very disappointed. The game has great graphics and sound, but the computer opponents don't play very well and are pretty easily defeated. Age of Mythology chased me away from the Age of Empires series and Empire Earth II has chased me away from the Empire Earth series. I am now playing Age of Empires III. It is a much better game. If you are new to RTS games, you will have fun with Empire Earth II but if you have been doing this for a while, I would pass on this game.

Empire Earth is one of the best RTS(Real time strategy) games around.
Necessary Hardware: About 1.5GB's free on the Hard Drive.
About 512MB RAM(Memory).
1.5 GHZ processor.
At least a 64MB video card.
To check all these, Go to Start and select 'Run', type DXDIAG, a new screen will come up. The video card will be under the Display tab, everything else is under the first one.
Gameplay: The gameplay is relatively complex, with hundreds of units and upgrades. Learning curve as a few hours, at least 5. To advance your civilization you have to up your Epoch, by meeting certain requirements. There are 15, 1 being the stone age and 15 being the near future. You use a variety of buildings to make units, such as barracks and factories. And there are defensive units like towers and castles. The game incorporates air units from WWI to the near future as well as naval units from the stone age on.
Graphics: Are about average for a RTS game. The environments and vehicles look real, but infantry and human units get blocky, similar to Command and Conquer: Generals. Again, you need a good graphics card and enough memory.
Story: The story line follows real life stories of the history's of Germany, Korea, and the United States. It also includes a D-Day map for both the allies and the axis. Using unique civilization units you shape how the world is today. Germany's campaign goes from the Catholic Knights 'taming' the barbarians to fighting Napoleon. Korea's goes from the countries stone age tribe formation to final war with China. While the US goes from the Spanish-American War to the near future, thus the last two levels are fiction.
