Age Of Empires III was the first of the series I have purchased and It was quite an enjoyable game but overtime was bor.
The Campaign is not my favourite but it is worth a try just to learn about the game. I liked the multiplayer but I have never played strategy games before I play Crime,Action,War & sport games.
I liked the Create your own War system. You can edit make the enemies and your base before the game and have a war. It takes alot of time and effort to complete a big map.
Cheats just ruin it, I don't recommend using them as it just defeats the reason of even playing the game. (eg.Monster truck) = Destroys anything unlimited health.
I recommend that if your a strategy game lover this is the game for you to buy and play
Thanks
