Age of Empires III
Not what I expected
Written by DS from Drayton Valley
Nov 25, 2008
I bought this game online after seeing a friend playing it. I didn't watch long, but saw beautiful graphics, and what appeared to be a fantastic and deep game. I paid extra to get it super quick. Yes, the graphics are very very good, and the interface is smooth and easy to pick up.
I was expecting more...variety? Remember Starcraft? I didn't realize this game was entirely based on colonial warfare and weaponry. I figured "Ages" meant something other than upgrades to muskets. Yes there are different "civilizations" you can choose from, but they are all more or less the same. To win, you stomp around the map with a bunch of musketeers and a few cannon and cavalry for backup.
Perhaps I didn't read up enough on it before hand, and didn't play any of the previous games (except maybe one of the very earliest ones, years ago)
The point is, I think I was misled by the title AOE III. It should have been AOE III: Colonial Conquest or something along that line. If you look at a box titled AOE III: Asian Dynasties, you know what you're gonna get.62 of 106 people found this useful

Simply Amazing

I got hooked just by playing the demo. I realized I was hooked after I looked up at the clock and three hours had passed. This game has stunning visual effects and easy to use controls. I have never played any of the AOE's and had no problem easily playing this one.
If you're looking for a great game, this is it.44 of 48 people found this useful

Age of Empires III is not as Good As AOE II
Written by BM from New Westminster
Nov 18, 2008
Age of Empires III works very well on my MacBook so technically it does everything that it says that it will do. What it is not is it is not Age of Empires II or even AOE One (I). Those versions were more fun and more versatile.

Pure Amazing

This game, was an obvious must-buy for me. It should be for all AOE fans. To start off, the campaign is amazing! There is a story, killer graphics, and even new weapons/buildings.etc. Did I mention the graphics? I placed it on my iMac and on my MacBook, they were both very good. The MacBook, usually doesn't provide as well for games, but it did for this game! MUST BUY!

AOE 3: the RTS of the decade
Written by HC from Wayland
Sep 28, 2008
this game is great. it has stunning graphs, controllable camera, great battles , great sounds, and the fact of many different strategy's. you can control 8 Civs, all explorers and claimers of the new world. there is the introduction of trading posts and native villages, both of which provide resources, Techs, and units. best RTS of the decade! maybe even ever! a must get! only a little pricy...

Age of Empires 3
Written by SA from Toronto
Aug 17, 2008
This is no doubt one of the best games that I have ever played and it runs beautifully on my 2.4 ghz standard macbook and on my mac pro fully loaded and with 2 30" displays, I won't start. The game has a flawless interface so far but has a slightly longer load than other games of this genre. I have not found any bugs yet but the only drawback that would stop someone from buying this is if you want lasers and plasma cannons instead of Howitzers and cavalry. Also, because this game is so cheap I play it with my brother all the time.

Decent
Written by CL from Edina

I really loved AOE II and I thought this would be better. I saw the pre-views and I was like SWEET! But once I got the game, the "campaign" even though it has an actual goal and story (unlike AOE II) I was bored with it, and I could not bring myself to play the campaign again. I even got bored with the random matches... And that is what I was looking for from AOE III... Anyway I am off to play AOE II on the PC :|

Love it
Written by HK from Plano

I love this game and would recommend to anyone that loves RTS gaming. I will say that it has crashed a few times on me, so saving before going into battle is a must. It really only seems to freeze up when there are many units on screen at once and I also run the game in full detail and resolution.

A GREAT GAME!!! but...
Written by JG
Apr 22, 2008
I absolutely love this game, but it's not worth it for the price that it's being sold. They expect me to pay $60 for this game when you can get AOE 3, The Warchiefs (the first expansion pack), and The Asian Dynasties (the second expansion pack that's not even on the Mac yet) for that same price, $60, for Windows. Not to say anything against Mac's (I also have a PC), I have one myself and love it, this is just a total rip off.

AMAZING, period.
When I first went to the store to get a game, and saw AOE III, I looked at the price and almost fainted. 54 bucks for THIS? Well apparently, after playing the game for 2 months now, I feel that I would've bought this game for 100 bucks if i had to!

Very Good making AoE III a Classic!
Written by TY from Lake Oswego

I was hesitant at first becuase of the price but now that I look back it's worth it. The story, gameplay and visuals make it worth it. The The Expansion seems like a no brainer after getting this title. I can't wait to get it. I hope they continue this series I love it!
