I'm Hooked

I've noticed that a number of the lower scored reviews here tend to come from people who have had performance issues due to AOE III's high graphic demands.

I run a older P4 2.4Ghz/1GB RAM/Raedon 9800XT with an old and crappy hard drive and have not had any performance problems, save for the occasional stutter during naval battles - and I have all the graphics options maxed.

That being said, I think this game is absolutely amazing. The graphics have many really cool details and the music is quite nice. I also appreciate the relative attention to historical and geographical accuracy.

The featured scenario lost my interest in about 45 seconds, but I've been quite absorbed playing skirmishes these past weeks. Because one can slowly build up and modify one's chosen country/home city, the individual games don't feel so random.

My only recurring gripe while playing is that you can't zoom out further - it feels restrictive at times.

I would highly recommend this game to anyone who digs RTS games (and has a computer that can handle it).

This game is awsome

I have played all of the Age of Empires series and this one is the best hands down.

You come looking for an awesome new game after Age of Empires 2 was so great. You buy this game. You notice that this game isnt as good. If you want a great game, Age of Empires 2 is better.

Great Title

Overall and excellent game with a good campaign mode and lost of replayability with the conflict mode. Loved the graphics and the units and had a great time with this game. Wish there were more like it and more time to play

This game was fairly easy to play after a few levels I could hang 10 on it. It was nice gameplay set up and sweet graphics. The home city was a little confusing at first but I got over it. Definetely 4 stars !

Dont be fooled

I must say this is a good game, but before i got it i looked at the screenshots and i thought wow these are the best GFX ever for an AoE game, however, all the hype was fake when i realised the graphics werent as good as the screenshots. Dont get me wrong, this is a very cool game, but if your new to the RTS series i reccomend Empire Earth (not the 2nd empire earth!) or Age of empires 2.

I have enjoyed age of empires for awhile and have most of the titles of the game. So far I think this version of Age of Empires is the best of the ones out there as far as the story line campaigns. I like the updated features for the game compared to other as well.

My son's delight

I spend a great amount of time resisting this violent video age we live in. I don't believe it's the best way to develop a brain! My sons are still at the age that I have control! However they are rapidly advancing in age and in independence. Thank goodness my 12 year LOVES Age of Empires 3. I have to say that I'm very impressed with the game myself. It's really like a complex video chess game.

PS My son says it's way better than Empire 2.

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game is truly amazing! I'm usually not into strategy games but this game just hooked me.
The graphics are awesome! I have a low memory computer so it does freeze from time to time but overall runs smoothly. I can still use the high quality graphics though without a problem.
The multiplayer is great. When online you sort of "share" video cards so the game runs extra smooth.
You can control a number of diferent civlizations for control of the land. Engage in battles, create trading posts to bring in money and build up your home city to be unstoppable.
I've never played the first two so I don't know how it compares.
This game is definitly one of the best out there for PC.

had less to offer than the previous installments

the graphic were sweet, there's no denying that they were better than before.

but that seems to have been the main thing they worked on.

the campaignes and stuff were short and pretty much no different than the other AOE games.
