Product Description

Prepare to serve up worldwide conquest on an epic scale once again with Empire Earth 2 -- the sequel to Gamespy.com's 2001 "PC Game of the Year," Empire Earth. Become the world's greatest conqueror of all time by creating, building, and forging the grandest of all empires as you progress through 15 epochs that span more than 10,000 years of history.

This sequel introduces new units, powers, and leaders through three expansive campaigns and once again sets the standard for real-time strategy games. Featuring the latest technology that expands both the single-player and multi-player experience -- including an artificial intelligence system that will adapt to your every move -- Empire Earth 2 delivers dynamic challenges that require focused problem-solving. For instance, you will be forced to adapt to ever-changing weather conditions that will impact your civilization's growth and survival. With each new season or ecological cataclysm, you will be forced to make tough decisions and devise new strategies for survival.

A growing civilization demands keen management, and to help you keep a close eye on your operations, Empire Earth 2 is equipped with an advanced Picture-in-Picture (PIP) management system. With it you can control various regions of your civilization simultaneously in real-time. This, along with the brand-new citizen management system and revamped research system, will help alleviate the need for tedious micro-management, especially during the heat of battle.

Once you master the control of your gigantic empire, you'll be ready to engage real-life opponents over a LAN or the Internet. Empire Earth 2 supports nine types of multi-player games. Tournament features include multi-player cooperative scenarios, a new reward system for military, economic, and empire-expanding superiority, and a tactical planning map that helps coordinate efforts with your team and other players. Take your empire building to a new level with multi-player action that demands strategic knowledge and good negotiating skills. With Empire Earth 2, the future of civilization is in your hands.

Rating: 5 StarsGreat Game

I bought it as a present for my nephew...I was watching it play the game and he was having so much fun. The graphics were great!.. I almost push him out of the cahir so I could play for a little bit!... jk.. Very cool game though...

Rating: 4 StarsGreat Game

This game is great. It's similar to the first game but adds some new things to keep it fresh. The one thing I don't like about the additions was the use of houses to increase the amount of population you can have. I preferred the system in the first Empire Earth where all of the population was accessible from the beginning. In addition to this, when I purchased this item, I thought I would get the game pictured. Instead I received the European version. I also bought the Empire Earth II: Art of Supremacy expansion, but it's not compatible with the European version of Empire Earth II.

Rating: 5 StarsHard, but fun

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)

Rating: 5 StarsBest 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.

Rating: 3 StarsGreat graphics - Poor playability

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.
