Empire Earth 2 Comments by Tom Bramwell

Bah, why not use 2d when your 3d engine looks dated before the game is even released and, what's worse, the camera control will probably be horrible again?!

Actually the first Empire Earth was pretty good. Odd widescreen screenies though...

They even fight in the rain. now that's comittment.

What else can they do about the extensive number of ages in the first one? All they will be doing is repeating themselves....
