Age of Empires III Critic Reviews

An absolutely fantastic title with superb graphics and tight gameplay. Single-player or multiplayer, no matter what your skill, you'll get hours of joy out of this sucker online or off.

In short, AoE III is yet another masterly triumph.

There are so many new additions in this game that it will boggle your mind. This is one of the best looking games, much less an RTS game, that is out on the market currently.

The new additions do much to add new depths of strategy.

A phenomenally awesome RTS, and stays true to all the games before it.

With 24 campaign missions and endless replaying online, unless you have an aversion to RTS games you’ll want to give it a try.

Balanced, innovative, gorgeous. Truly worthy of the series.

The game meets the bar set by previous games in the series though it doesn’t really revolutionize the genre.

There is nothing terribly new or original here, but this still offers a very solid RTS experience.

The home city concept adds a new twist, making the game slightly more interested than it had been before.

Classic real-time strategy action in a beautiful new wrapper.

Combining solid game play, stellar physics, and some of the most vibrant graphics available on the PC, Age of Empires III is the alpha male of the RTS pack.

This game is pure, unadulterated fun.

The unit design and the range of opportunities in both the single player and multiplayer missions will definitely get your strategic juices flowing.

The gameplay of the title is the core strength, and getting through the single player campaign will suck you in for uncountable hours into the night.

Gorgeous to look at and wonderfully well made, but it's not a revolution.

Fans of the first two should pick it up for sure, and other RTS fans would be smart to do the same.

It has all the addictiveness of the earlier titles, but probably less replay value since there are more interesting and creative RTSs out there.

Age of Empires 3 does not let you down. The game is as polished as it can get. Great for people who love multiplayer matches.

All in all, Age of Empires 3 is a top-notch game. Not too hard on the specs either, it’ll let you away with 256mb of ram and a 1.4ghz processor (ugly but perfectly playable).
