Excellent well balanced RTS from Microsoft, some graphical issues but overall an EXCELLENT 3rd revision on the series.

User Rating: 8.8 | Age of Empires III PC
I would have to give this game an 8.9 overall due mainly to the buggy software/hardware issues I am getting with my SLI system. I would also add that the 2nd campaign increases in the PC based opposition as the levels become harder to beat, to the point of it being a free for all fire fight with little time to "build and siege". Aside from the small graphical errors on my SLI system, this is an excellent 3rd edition to the Age Of Empires series. The transition from one "age" to the next in the timeline of the AOE3 world is a little distant (you will play as the grandparents, then the grandson, then the son in the three main chapters. The network play is flawless and I have to date experience no network lag.
