I heard that it was launched Nov. 6, and just wanted some opinions.

heaps of reviews have given it crap. i have seen scores of 3.5 up to about 7.

but personally, i quite like the game. its different to the first 2 and requires a bit of getting used to. i would give it about a 7-7.5 out of 10.

I hear they dumbed it down loads and that they also removed a lot of the historical aspects of the game, which is a little unfortunate, since I felt that's really what set this game apart from your typical RTS.

NO it is not good! it really sucks, trust me, just look at a few reviews, i cry myself to sleep every night hoping this is just a dream and that i still have to play empire earth III. It completely MASACERED my love for EE. It's overly simple, it looks like a watered-down EEII with sierra going for warcraft graphics. PLEASE DON'T FALL TO THIS SCAM! AS WELL THE VOICE ACTING WILL DRIVE YOU TO THE BRINK OF INSANITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS THE WORST EVER! THIS GAME DISGRACES THE ONCE GOOD NAME OF EMPIRE EARTH. IF YOU WANT A QUALITY RTS LOOK ELSEWHERE. AND THIS GAME DOES GET SET APART FROM OTHER RTS', IT CREATES A WHOLE NEW CATEGORY KNOWN AS "THE PIECE OF SHIT CATEGORY" im sorry just please. i waited so long and i was so disappointed. the gameplay is repetitive and your options are suprisingly small. I quit after 5 freakin minutes i swear! it also got rid of probably my favorite feature. You don't have the many unique civilizations u once had. u pretty much have 3.
