What players say

Players love Empire Earth II as the best in the series, enjoying its 15-era span from stone age to the future and the land-grab territory mechanics that encourage aggression. However, performance is a known problem -- the game runs poorly on modern hardware due to single-core optimization and AI pathfinding issues, and multiplayer is broken, still asking for a Gamespy CD key.
