Age of Empires III
The game sometimes does not start up
Written by LY from Beaverton
Aug 17, 2009
Sometimes when I start the game, the application unexpectedly quits. I cannot find a solution to the problem, even though I have all the updates. But then there are times when the game does work without any changes applied. Sometimes the game works and sometimes it does not. The game usually gets through the opening credits and scenes okay, but once it starts the loading sequence, the game crashes. I have a 2009 17" Unibody MBP and I do not believe this should be happening. I blame Macsoft. If the game was made by Apple, everything would be smooth and seamless.

Nice graphics

After playing Age of EmpiresII for forever. Bought III. Love the graphics. I wish there was more of a II feel to it. Seems like the maps are miniscule. Kind of disappointed with the card aspect of it. Cards?

Not what I expected
Written by DS from Drayton Valley

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

Age of Empires III is not as Good As AOE II
Written by BM from New Westminster

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.

Age of Empires III
A GREAT GAME!!! but...
Written by JG

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.
