Empire Earth 2 is the same thing in that once again, the full spectrum of combat is playable, all the way from mankind's first inkling to smash things in the heads with blunt objects.
Empire Earth 2 has just as a diverse array of land, air, and sea units as the original title, and though they are structured largely the same, the mechanics between them are a bit different.
Empire Earth 2 doesn't quite follow the same footsteps as its predecessor, and while it is less groundbreaking in terms of gameplay, it undoubtedly makes its mark using the features it brings to the table, such as the war plans screen and the ridiculously useful picture-in-picture.

 GameSpy: Empire Earth II Review
My answer has now become "Empire Earth II." That's not to say it's the greatest real-time strategy game ever made, but it's one of the deepest and most customizable RTS games I've ever seen.
The underlying conceit of the Empire Earth franchise has always been "epic" -- the idea that players would be able to take a civilization from hunter-gatherers using stone knives and bear skins all the way to a futuristic society that uses fusion-powered mechs to fight its wars.
Having all this stuff to play with means that Empire Earth II reaches strategic heights it will take gamers years to fully explore.

As the Earth orbits around the Sun, for a portion of the year the Sun is in the same direction as the tilt happens to be.
This activity demonstrates the model of the seasons we have been developing- that of an Earth whose axis of rotation is tilted by 23.°5 degrees with respect to the plane of its orbit around the Sun.
By aligning the Earth's axis with a stationary point in space (the location of Polaris), it is easy to demonstrate the tilt of the Earth's axis during the course of an orbit about the Sun (i.e.

 Featuring Empire Earth 2 Review at ActionTrip
You see, as soon as you start playing Empire Earth II, you will notice two very important things: first, the learning curve is so high it will take you quite a lot of time to get used to playing the game.
While learning the controls isn't difficult thanks to the helpful tutorials and an intuitive interface, mastering them requires a lot of patience, as you will be forced to use shortcuts as much as possible because of the great number of details you'll need to pay attention to.
Playing Empire Earth II is one thing, and playing it with a satisfying result is quite the other.

 Amazon.com: JLA: Earth 2: Books: Frank Quitely,Grant Morrison   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Alexander Luthor, a hero in the antimatter universe, is also portrayed superbly with essentially the same personality as his "Earth 2" (his phrase for the DC Universe best known and home to Superman and the JLA), but neatly converted from villainy to heroism.
Eversince I read the Crime Syndicate in Crisis and Who's Who, I was intrigued by the concept (I was a 10 year old back then), so when I saw JLA Earth 2 featuring updated versions of Ultra-Man (not the giant Japanese superhero), Superwoman, Owlman, Power Ring and Johnny Quick, I had to pick them up.
Morrison, in reviving the world of the Crime Syndicate, sidestepped the idea of another Multiverse (which were destroyed in Crisis) by setting up the CSA Earth in the anti-matter universe, the same universe as Qward's (of Sinestro fame).
