It seems that mad doc has bluffed it's way through every interview it's had. The game is a big let down, and me and im sure many others will be bitterly dissapointed. Heres why:
- Voice overs, honestly who hired the actors for them? The voices are horrible, especially for the engineers.
- The graphics arn't even that good they lack any type of punch, the graphics are i'd say just a bit worse than the AOE3 ones that came out in 2005, the units don't look as good as I expected and the historical realism that Empire Earth is well known for has just gone with this. It didn't run smootly on my 2 year old comp at all until I turned a lot of settings off.
- The units seemed all mudled up. Modern age you get- A single shot rifleman, WW1 style tank, A very modern rocketer and a napoleonic type artillery? WTF!!
- The units just seem to slide across the terrain when they walk.
- The sizes are all wrong, the infantry are bigger than the tanks, yet the trade trucks you get are huge.
- AI is much to stupid, I played on normal and they send 2 measly riflemen to attack me, and then just spammed towers!
On a brighter note the world domination mode looks promising and the music seems pretty good.
But this game doesn't deserve to have Empire Earth in it's title. A big shame I know, seems that Mad doc just ignored everyones shouts of make it more like EE1.
They've just really screwed up here, and as theres so little time between now and when they relaese it, theres no way they can do anything about this now. If you've preodered it, unpreorder it!
Just a big pile of shit to be frank, Nothing more that can be said... just a big pile of shit.
