Empire Earth 2 Gold Edition

Empire Earth 2 is an amazing RTS and definitely among the greatest of all time. Whilst I would not say it is as good as the original Empire Earth, it is not that far off. The scope of Empire Earth 2 is smaller in terms of epochs/eras as well as units, but there is more detail per eras/epochs as well as units and overall a bit more depth to the strategy options. It is still a masterpiece of an RTS though and easily in the top ten ever made for me. If you love Empire Earth, Age Of Empires, Rise Of Nations and the like then you will definitely love Empire Earth 2. Just steer clear of Empire Earth 3, what a disaster.

Probably one of the best timeless game of all time in RTS and Strategy genre, improved with high res and stability mod this game can give you endless replayability.

Perhaps this is an impartial review, regardless this was a hell of a game that I spent the better part of my teens playing along with crusader and red alert 2. When I got this game it seemed like it was really pushing the envelope of gaming, because this was the first game I got when we upgraded the family computer in fact this was the first game installed on it. This has a fairly robust system of territories and control over them and In my opinion a satisfying amount of micro-to-macro managing when it comes to resource gathering and and army building. The battles are enjoyable and with a little planning using army, navy and air power to coordinate and decimate your enemy, incredibly gratifying. All in all this is a solid game that holds through the test of time.

One of favorite games ever made

Playing this game for a few years now, liked it back then as well. This game is for the heart. It takes itself serious enough, has some neat little additions, the unit management is great - I really like the user interface, the music, the depth to all... The UI is MUCH better than EE1, while EE1 is just a little bit more flavoured in its overall design and presentation. EE2 "looks and feels sometimes too clean" if you know what i mean. I just had the feeling that the missions are sometimes harder ? even tough a lot of players seem to have no issues at all ? haha ... well yeah. its a really good older rts that still can be enjoyed to this day. Get the 1.5 patch and put up some coffee.
