Following a wellreceived break to the realms of ancient mythology, Ensemble Studios returns its realtime strategy sensibilities to the real world with this third edition of the historically themed Age of Empires series. After conquering the Continent in earlier editions and expansion packs, the series stakes claim to the New World in Age of Empires III. Players choose to guide one of eight Old World powers, and manage their empire from a European home city, but all of the basebuilding, battle, and conquest take place across the sprawling untamed wilderness of the Americas. Each home county is offers different advantages, such as Britain's economic strength, France's propensity for allegiance with Native American civilizations, or Spain's formidable colonial presence.

Although Age of Empires III offers the sophisticated style of realtime strategy established earlier in the franchise, some aspects have been streamlined and others deepened. While settlers are still required to collect resources, they no long need to carry them back to a dropoff point. Players still race to advance from one technological "Age" to the next, but with each jump they may gain new political or diplomatic abilities, as well as technological proficiencies. Victory on the battlefield still relies on balanced forces and good tactics, but it now also rewards the player's home city with influential experience that adds to the empire's overall power. ~ T.J.

    Game Requires High Graphics Card

    By Bobg  Aug 9, 2006

    Pros: Great Graphics, Entertaining, Great Features

    Cons: Requires High Graphics Card

    I went out and bought the collectors edition of AOE 3 and later found out that it included a soundtrack,poster,making of the game book, and all of these items that I didn't care for. The game itself is great as long as you have the right graphics... card but don't buy the collector's edition unless you are a very serious collector of AOE. Read more Less

    Microsoft - Age of Empires III review

    Age of Empires III introduces some interesting new concepts with its home city and strategy card decks. These certainly make the well fleshed-out multiplayer mode come alive. It's also a great looking game, which never hurts. On the downside, there are still problems with the unit pathing, and there are no staggering or revolutionary innovations here. Read more
