"Good graphics, good gameplay, good fun."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

To begin with, at first look its a fair bit different from what Age of Empire II fans will be used to which is not only on the visual element. The graphics are very nice and the destruction effects are very well made & different every time because of the engine they used. (Good idea). The naval combat is also very graphicly beautiful but lower spec computers need to watch out as they are more intense than the rest of the games graphics & effects and make your computer work a fair bit harder resulting in possible lag or jagged camera movement. The game doesnt span as many years as Age of Empires II did which is not realy a bad thing but does mean that the units dont change very much over the game. They also introduced an experiance & reward card system for normal games which is a nice addition. On the downside its quite different from Age of Empires II which in itself is always going to happen with a new game in a series but this time around it is quite noticable. This game would have been a great game if Microsoft & Ensemble Studio had combined the much loved Age of Empires II gameplay with the nice graphics & effects of Age of Empires III along with some of the nice new features it offers but left the game fundementals the same.

"Age of Awesomeness!!!!"
5 stars"

I have been a fan of the series for a long time but when I first played AOE 3, I was blown away. The graphics are awesome, the environments are beautifully designed and the range of things you can do are just endless. Much of the gameplay is still the same but there is a lot of new stuff, eg the new home cities are a nice touch. I recommend this to anyone who wants a great RTS game with huge replay value.

"The original king of RTS games"
5 stars"

If you are a fan of Real Time Strategy, you should probably already have this game. It might be a bit old, but the graphics are still pretty damn respectable for a game from 2005. The campaign mode has an above average storyline to it, and the skirmish mode offers many hours of gameplay by itself. Where this game truly shines, is when you take it online or on a LAN.

The reason I do not give this five stars, is because some civilisations are significantly more powerful than others, and vice versa. All civ's have their strengths, but some do have much better strengths than others. It is not bad to the point that it is unplayable though, I have had plenty of epic battles in which I have bested a player who was using a better civ than I, and the feeling of victory is just awesome.

I highly recommend this game, and having both of the expansion packs too only sweetens the deal.

Age of Empires III offers gamers the next level of realism, with advanced battle physics and unparalleled visual detail.

This time period features stunning scenes, from towering European cathedrals to courageous tribes of Native Americans, and spectacular combat with Industrial Age units like rifled infantry, cavalry and tall ships bristling with cannons. In addition to technology upgrades, Age of Empires III also features a slew of new game-play elements, including the concept of a “Home City,” new civilizations, units, technologies and an immersive new single-player campaign that spans three generations.
