One of the best computer strategy games ever made…
User Rating: 9.3 | Age of Empires III PC
Age of Empires 3 is the best Age of Empires ever made. The story takes from the first landing in the New World to fighting for land in it. It is great and adds a little bit of wonder and fantasy in it. The game play is very fun and will take you through three acts. The first you are The Knights of Saint John. In the second you are starting to fend off different nations and the struggle for territory starts. In the third act there are massive musket and cannon battles and the fight for territory increases. The graphics are superb and, with the new graphics engine the battles are better then ever. Like when a cannon fires you se it hit people and the get blown back and you see the ball, that has lost its entire momentum roll on the ground. The great part about the graphics, and my favorite, is the water, and when you fire a cannon and there is a tree in the way the tree falls down it is really impressive when there are giant fights going on. The last great thing about the graphics is the fights at sea. You see the smoke from where the cannon fired from and you see it hit the ship, it leaves hole and knocks down mats and other things like that. The sound is great, especially in battle and adds a lot to the game. The value is very high because of the campaign mode which includes the three acts that you can do on easy, medium ,or hard. You will have tons of fun with this game and I highly recommend it to any one who has the prior Age of Empires games or any strategy games for the computer. It is truly a great game and is truly worth it.
