i loved the first and second empire earths, so i figured, that empire earth III must be a great game, with some of the errors from the previous ones fixed, man was i wrong. This game doesn't just suck, its like a piece of shit, put in a blender and then drank straight. They stripped it of the interesting different civilizations, they made gay cartoon characters, it works for some stuff (Fable), but not for this game. they put the most annoying, random voices i've ever heard. The voice acting is even worse then resident evil: Deadly Silence. For instance, the western pikeman says, "Im not supersticious, im SUPER supersticious", what the shit, why the hell would a pikeman be supersticious? am i supposed to laugh at that? I could probably go on forever but its just not worth it. Whatever you do, if anyone is thinking of buying the game. just forget it. This game has pretty much nothing to do with the others. the only semi-cool thing is that u can take over the world, but that looks completely stolen from rise of nations. JUST DON'T BUY IT! SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR SOMETHING GOOD!
