This game was a total letdown
Empire Earth 3, While it was still playable and I appreciated the inclusion of a global campaign map, was a major step backwards from the series. The first is arguably the best in series, a game where you could play on a huge map (with downloadable maps that were even larger than the huge maps) from the stone age to a high tech futuristic empire, with each phase feeling fully fleshed out with a variety of units and advantages (granted the Stone Age wasn't very interesting). . A single game could literally last for hours in the original empire earth, and there were a lot of options both when creating a new game and how to proceed through a game. . Empire Earth III reduced this to extremely short battles with practically all the charm removed from it, the AI is shoddy the replay value is practically gone, there are only three civilizations you can choose from and while they're admittedly different you'll probably get bored with them rather quickly because the AI can't even tech up with the player.
Is this helpful to you?
