    Mediocre at best; graphically non-impressive and gameplay, although decent, wasn't anything new or amazing.

    Tried the demo and I got to say it stinks. Graphics could have been a whole lot better done here. Gameplay is solid, but, the AI is quite challenging in that it can overwhelm you if you play "the waiting game" like the english did. At easy level, it plays more like a hard level. This is a game where you must decide quickly what must be built and where to strategically have any advantages Tried the demo and I got to say it stinks.

At easy level, it plays more like a hard level. This is a game where you must decide quickly what must be built and where to strategically have any advantages if none at all. I'm sure fans in this franchise will find it fun, but seriously, the AI needs a tune up for the difficulty ratings selections. So to be sure, this will turn off new gamers to EE3. I'm not looking forward to buying the full game until I get a better feedback from the fan base NOT the "paid" and "corrupt" reviewers like pcgamer or any other so called "reviewers".… Expand

    Empire Earth III was an attempt to streamline the game into a pure combat focused RTS. Through simplifying a resource system and condensing epochs down from 14 to 5, it aims to make sure the battle takes the center stage. Unfortunately muddy pathfinding, lackluster animations, poor AI, and game choppiness end up ruining the experience.

    It's not in all a bad game when it works, and the combat does feel fast paced. It would have been a good action RTS had the developers continued working on it.    … Expand

    While it may be a lot smoother and simpler than its predecessors, Empire Earth III has been dumbed down to the point of irrelevance.

    Fans of the series will be sad to see that this version of Empire Earth has been stripped of the depth and detail that made the first two games so attractive. I mean, it's not as if there's a shortage of shallow RTS games already, so seeing one of our favorite series effectively lobotomized is a real shock.

    PC strategy gamers have a lot to choose from on store shelves these days, and bugs, muddled combat, or weak AI aren't things that strategy fans have to live with. It pains us to admit it as fans of the franchise, but this Empire is definitely in decline.
