Overview
Check out the Age of Empires III trailer.
The revolutionary new Home City feature is unlike anything you've experienced before in a real-time strategy game. Much like a persistent character in a role-playing game, your Home City is a support system that regularly sends you supplies or military reinforcements. As you get better, your Home City becomes stronger, allowing you to unlock new types of soldiers or buildings, broaden your tech tree and customize the appearance of your city. You can even visit your Home City to watch its citizens, get an opinion on how you're doing or plot your next move.
Age of Empires III gives you an amazing amount of control over your side of the battlefield. You're in control of large and diverse armies of infantry, cavalry, artillery, Native American warriors, mercenaries and ships. You can assign different formations to your army, like Volley, Charge or Bombard, or have the game automatically choose the most appropriate formation for you.
Age of Empires III isn't just one of the best-looking real-time strategy games ever, it's one of the best-looking games of any kind ever. Tone-mapping gives scenes a photorealistic look by balancing colors in a scene. Units and buildings cast realistic shadows based on the sun's position. Water glistens like water, foams near the shore and its reflections change with the viewing angle.

As a first time player of this game, I was definitely impressed by the 3D graphics and the overall game-play.
The campaign mode i…Read mores fun, however I think it is too short. Also after playing for about a month, the game started to become boring after playing every map and opponent. If you enjoy this game I would also recommend the two expansion packs, although they are pricey, it provides hours more of interesting game-play.(32 of 38 people found this review useful)

Five stars all around. I've been waiting for this since it was first announced three months ago and was well pleased when it came …Read moreyeterday. My only complaint is that it won't work on an older eMac (32 vs 64 MB Graphics), so I can't play over the network. Great product, shows a large improvement over AOE2 in graphics and performance. FIVE STARS!!!!!
