Empire Earth

"Bravo !"

First of all , I wish to say that this game is sth. really extraordinary.A perfectionism at least. Bravo! No other word can describe my ... There , I can't say it.

Audio - 10 - When you hear that song at the menu of the game , like Star Wars or sth. theme , and the drums thumbing like your hot -boiled brain ready for fight ... You can scream , I understand you. Like , you know , in that scene where Sith is fighting the Jedais , and you feel that cheels going over your spine ...

Video - 10 - You remember Black & White ? Its the same graphics level , of course with some improvements like more real buildings , and all that placed in an AOE surrounding. Excellent. Day and night changing , rain drops falling from the sky ,dawn with all its beatuies ... Not to mention zoom and resolution of 1200 - its fantastic.

Gameplay - 10 -When you start the game , it will probably look a bit harder than the usual RTS - games. But , with time , you will learn that nothing comes too easily , and that the thing that is harder to get , has a greater value. If you played AOE , I have nothing to add here. If not , first do your thing with AOE and than clear your things with EE. In the later campaigns of the game the game will seem like Red Alert or sth. , you know , with tanks and planes , and after that , even lasers , robots...

Controls - 10 - They are the easiest -to- learn controls in the world. Click , drag , point , build , mine , chop trees and build granaries for food. And , of course don't let your self to kill too many enemies - we are humans after all.

Re-playability - 9 - Maybe the only ''weak'' point of the game - when you finish the campaigns it will be very dificult for you to start all over again. But , you have random map , and you can always play some maps for the second time.

Advice : You didn't buy it already? Buy it IMMIDIATELY!
