Dynasty Warriors 6 vs Empire Earth 3
Dynasty Warriors 6
Dynasty Warriors 6 puts you once more into battle in Ancient China where you are able to decide the fate of the nation by picking a character from one of the 3 main families. The Wei, Shu and Wu are once move vying for control and this time, with 41 playable characters you can be crowned Emperor in a lot of different ways. This time, instead of weapons providing more combos you have a Renbu system where the more attacks you make the more your bar fills up, the more of the Renbu you have the better your attacks become.Bases have also changed, they are now bigger and have more soldiers in them, but you can target the captain to instantly claim it as your own. The battlefields also changed now that you can swim, and climb ladders over the defensive walls. All in all an exciting change to the system and a lot of fun to play a complete game for you to enjoy.
Empire Earth 3
Empire Earth 3 is unfortunately the final stopper to what had been a pretty solid real-time strategy game. What happened? Well, the game seemed to have went on a completely wrong route and ended up stripping itself of all the best parts in an attempt to borrow from other game franchises. Not to mention, their implementation, be it borrowed ideas or pretty good ideas of their own, is simply horrendous. However, all of these might not be apparent to players who have not played any of the Empire Earth games before so if you've seen good reviews of the game... well, this is probably the reason behind it.Empire Earth 3 has hammered in the final nail in the franchise's coffin and it's truly a pity. The series itself has plenty of potential and could have been as great as some of the classic real-time strategy games that are still very well-known today, but due to whatever reason, things happened, a poor game was rolled out, and everything just fell apart. Empire Earth 3 may not be worth buying for fans of the previous two Empire Earth games, but if you're a collector or if you're new to the series, you might still want to give it a try.
