With the original Earth series' maps being quite well-received, I feel that it is important to talk about why I feel this way.Īs most people are aware, Empire Earth was a grand adventure through the red planet on a mission to save the Earth from an impending third world war. Empire Earth II is part of the remaking of their older franchise, and as many people are no doubt aware, they have chosen to take a step backwards instead of moving forward. Empire Earth II, like all the other RTS games before it, is another attempt by the game developer, Rockstar, to try and give us another well-conceptualized 'immersive' map-based strategy game, albeit one that they have attempted very unsuccessfully in the past.
