The review title refers to the series chronology. Empire Earth is the better brother, EE2 is still good and EE3 is BAD. I mean - really BAAAD. One of the worst RTS games in the universe. It was ripped of the best things in the EE series (multiple civilizations, ages, variety of options) to minimum.
What is left is bullcrap. Crap that stinks. I would not recommend it to anyone, except you are that kind of person who MUST have all of the games in EVERY series (like me) - buy it. Enjoy your wasted money.
The worst game on gog.com, no doubt.
