At first, Caesar III got me addicted to the extent that I'd spend all of my waking hours trying to get a good city going, neglecting even my schoolwork. However, once I got into the medium and upper levels, it became obvious that this game was impossible to win!

It takes too long to develop a city up to the required levels. There is no definite objective; instead you have to achieve various set standards for your city before winning. While you focus on keeping your city safe from numerous barbarian hordes, you may inadvertently neglect the cultural facilities (e.g. theaters and stadiums) of your city. Once you achieve the required culture rating, you'll find out that your city isn't "prospering" enough. Each and every person living in your city has their own little complaints which they direct to you. These could range anywhere from disease, fire, floods, thirst, starvation, poverty, earthquakes, enemy attack, and building collapse to unemployment, riots, lack of workers, high taxation, lack of entertainment, and even the wrath of the Roman gods. Your city's houses always want something more, whether it be religious facilities, pottery, fruits, oil, or expensive imported wines. On top of all that, the emperor, Caesar himself, periodically asks for outrageously high amounts of a certain good; he can also order you to send all your soldiers away to defend other cities of the empire. If you don't fulfill his requests, he will be angry at you and send his legions to destroy your city.It takes so much time, frustration, and micro-management to win a single scenario that the gaming experience is simply not worth it.

If you are willing to spend hours upon hours trying to win a game that's simply too hard for most poeple to win, then I wish you good luck. You'll be needing it. But if you're like me and you have better and more useful things to do than listen to the greviances of people in an imaginary city, then I recommend NOT getting this game.

First, the good. The shipping was VERY FAST. Package arived in less than a week. And the game is a blast. ^_^ Now the bad. What I got wasn't what I was expecting. I had placed an order on a NEW copy of the game, but what I got was some sort of reprint from a company in the UK. Putting the disk in the drive caused my firewall to go nuts (I DON'T LIKE HAVING SPY-WARE SENT TO ME!!!) and when I tried to exit the install, it cut off my internet connection. Now why would it want to do that? Also, the boxart that is shown online ISN'T the same box that I got. I liked the game, but was not pleased with all the extra crap that was put on the disk. >=(

Great Game!

I absolutely loved this game! Its soooo addicting! And you will always want to do "just" two minutes more! Its also very hard which keeps you interested and challenged. Overall this is a very good game and as a bonus makes you want to learn about Rome!

I really enjoyed this game. You can play it for hours on end without getting bored!
It is very well made and the graphics are excellent. I enjoy playing games like this one, where you design something and see it progress. In the past, I have also played Theme Hospital and The Sims. Caesar III has the same qualities as these games, which is probably why it is so popular.
Overall, I think this game is great. I would definitely recommend it! ^_^

This is the altimate game!

It has been a while since I last played this game. But I can tell you this, if there is a good game out there, this is it.
If you like history and good game play this is the game for you.
Do yourself a favor and get this game.

this game was the best i ever had! it is mesmerizing. i sat hours at a time not knowing where or who i was at 4 am in front of the screen. it is challenging with 8 levels that i never made past the 4th! also a good deal of armed conflict with cavalry, legionaires, and javelin throwers. i spent 45$ about 2 years ago for this game is my only complaint! drquincy

Caesar three

A game of many interesting traits, Caesar three is a game worthy of the highest marks. The only drawback, is that on rare occasions it becomes rather slow in the respect of military activity. So it is my pleasure to reward this game wits four shining stars. the only game that beats it with five stars is Lord of the Rings, Two Towers.

P.S. This game (Caesar Three) is beautifully done.

Build a better rome

If you are a fan of military strategy and town building, this is the game for you. You can build a better Rome. Build homes for immigrants, build farms and granerys for food and build markets to sell it. Collect taxes from your population and get respect from the honorable emporer of Rome.

Open trade with neighboring cities and countries and trade goods for money or other supplies.

They don't sell this game in places that I know of, but if you see it, pick it up right away!
