What Others Say
Toooooo Short
I like the game, but am very disapointed in it's length. I just started to get used to the controls and it's over. I only got it a couple of weeks ago and play it about 2 - 2.5 hours a day. I already finished it.
Good Sequel; Better With Expansions
I first received this game about 2 years ago as a birthday present. From then on it has evolved to become my standard of a good RTS. The graphical, and game play improvement over AO2 is amazing. The home city is a vast improvement over AO2, and forces you to specialize in one civilization in order to unlock all of their advantages. My brothers also enjoy this game, so when they play me over our LAN network it keeps both of us on our toes and always guessing, much like real combat. The game does pull some controls out of other games, such as being able to zoom in yet it is actually a bit of a hassle since it gives you no advantage, and the movement often become blurry when you do this.

The Perfect Time Waster
Age of Empires 3 is an awesome game with it's high-resolution graphics, new game-play, and deep story-line, but it IS NOT just a game. This is where spare time is meant to go. Microsoft has had some great ideas in the past, but the AoE series are honestly some of the best games I have ever played. This game will have you playing non-stop and I personally guarantee you will love every minute of it!
A&E III
anyone how liked A&E II will love this game It works grate on the MAC with the improved graphics are grate!
Terrible, worse than the last edition!
This game is not an improvement over the previous edition. I would not recommend buying this.
Reasons why it sucks:
-The graphics aren't that great.
-You can only see a small area of the playing field at once.
-You have to build up civilizations over time, you can't take full advantage of their attributes immediately.
-I hate the card system, it's lame.
-You can't double-click to select all the units of one type in an area.
-No real improvements over the last game, just different. As in crappier.
