Great and fun game, but bugs are horrendous

First let me start out by saying that no matter how many bugs there are, this game is amazing, and I still play it. If you're looking for a great game concept, and many fun hours of play, you've found the right game. However, if you're not expecting to pay the price for that "perfect" game, don't get Empire Earth... I run a Win2k computer, and there are more bugs in this game than in any software I've ever seen. Constant crashes to the desktop are annoying to say the least... but when those crashes leave your system unable to open and executables, and you have to restart, it's downright frustrating. I think one of the better bugs, because of this, is the in-game bug that crashes the game and restarts the computer... at least you don't have to restart it yourself! On the first install, I updated the game completely, still had the problems, and then, with my GeForce2 Pro video card, couldn't open the game... it would freeze upon startup and throw me back to the desktop. As said, great game, but the coding and the time spent by Sierra to make it compatable with the newer operating systems is abysmal. I suggest saving your money. If you really want to be "entertained" for hours and hours with great gameplay, after rebooting your computer once or twice every hour, this is your game, but it's certainly not mine.

Empire Earth- Best strategy game so far.

This game is alot of fun for anybody that likes strategy. It is made by a former AOE designer. It is alot like age of empires, except there are 12 eras instead of 4 ages, and these range from the early stone age to the space age, and there is smarter AI and much better graphics. Instead of the rough blocky terrain of older rpg's, this game has smooth real-looking graphics. There are hundreds of units ranging from club men to laser infantry. It is very complicated and requires alot of concentration and time, but immensly fun for the AOE games, civilization, or shogun fans. Or, just anybody that likes strategy.

sucky

this product was the worst and shouldn't be purchased if you don't want to throw 20 dollars down the drain. HORRIBLY DONE. sierra should have been disposed of and a better company like the creators of Medeival total war should make another game. SO THINK AGAIN IF YOU PLAN TO BUY IT. it is boring and nothing is realistic especially the graphics, for example the people are larger than the house. so don't buy this...............for your own sake!

This game is not compatible with Windows XP. I tried playing it on an H/P Pavilion that's less than 6 weeks old loaded with Windows XP. The game installs ok, then when you hit the play option,immediately crashes and generates an error report. I've e-mailed Sierra twice but no response. If anyone knows of a fix, let me know as I really want to give this another shot. Yes, I did download the latest Windows updates and no, they had no effect. If you have XP, save your money on this game til they get the problem fixed,assuming they do! I've had a lot of success and enjoyment with Sierra products but this is a major let down

Great game, improvement on Age of empires

This is a great game. My favorite part is that it got rid of that anouying problem where every five minutes you had to stop mid-battle and go replinish the farms. A game where you can go from pre-history to post-presant is a game worth checking out. A definate must buy.

this game needs major upgrades! and the computer is impossible! to beat!

this game has bad graphics! the helmets are square for cryin out loud! when you attack, the AI has excellent defences, and can always rout you. i had 300 or so tanks and infantry,and was attacking a settlement close to MY city, but was routed by a combination of AT guns, mortar fire, and helis. and that was with air support! if u dont want to attack, but want to wait for them to attack, youll be waiting for a long time! they almost never attack! and wen they do, its only a single unit or something! the ships, there ok, but i dont like how even in the modern age, the Bismark (a battleship)is still afloat. everyone knows that it was sunk during WW2! dont buy this game unless u hav a slow computer or just want a long game!

Not much new here...

I was pretty disappointed. I'd played all the other Age of Kings game etc and was hoping for something new. It's just the same thing over again, still fun to play, but I've had enough of it.

fun game

when i bought this game i was expectin it to be like age of empires with ancient and futuristic weapons, but it was'nt. Its a good game but the new point system is just no good in multiplayer and limits the fun. On the other hand the single player is formiddable but i really wanted a cool multiplayer empire earth did'nt have it

This is sooooooooo cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is da best stratagy game of all time! Much better than the $@#$$# Rise of nations and the decent Age of empires 2. This is kinda expensive but is worth every penny.!

Pros:
Great 3d graphics, sound, campagains, and gameplay!
Lots of civ., units and buildings!

Cons:
Kinda hard
Editor is fustrating
How the @#!% am i goin to get all those hotkeys!

Overall the game is great! Only 39.95 when my mom bought it!
