VGGen Gives 5.5/10 To Empire Earth III

David Pulgar writes:

"I’ve never played Empire Earth I or II, but it doesn’t take prior knowledge to know Empire Earth III is an unfinished game. The concept is great, a historical-based RTS with three unique civilizations, but the implementation stinks. Glitches and overall poor design make playing Empire Earth III a chore. Like a B movie, it entertains, but the end result is a feeling that you’ve wasted precious hours of your life."

Pros:

– Good visual effects (even if units look horrid)

– World Domination mode is entertaining

– Each race is unique and plays differently

Cons:

– Poor unit AI and pathfinding ability

– Limited diplomacy options

– Enemy AI is easy, even on hard mode

– Very, very, very small multiplayer community

– Random glitches
