Empire Earth
"Empire Earth" averaged an 82% according to GameRankings, and earned GameSpy's 2001 "PC Game of the Year" award. It was rated 8.5/10 by IGN, who commented "Anyone who's familiar with "Age of Empires" is going to hit the ground running in "Empire Earth". With a few additions and some small changes the economic model and interface is pretty much exactly like that in AoE2." GameSpot was not as impressed, giving it 7.9/10, saying ""Empire Earth" is best reserved for hard-core real-time strategy players who won't mind the game's less-than-stellar graphics and sound but will instead relish the ability to relive 14 different epochs of human warfare.". "Game Informer" was disappointed and gave it a 6.25/10, saying ""Empire Earth" couldn't walk the walk like it talked the talk. Although no one patch can fix either of the aforementioned items, the latter will certainly see some type of quick adjustment in the near future."
