The game has the typical characteristics of most AOE games, just that little bit extra. Promising. More of the same....

...but still well worth the investment just for the fact that it is AOE3. Pity we have to be subjected to American history. Not everyone is overly interested in America's past. If anything, that is the only shortfall of the game, its very localised for the American gaming audience. Other than that, the graphics are superb, the soundtrack could be far better (although that is a common pitfall for most AOE games - I wonder why), and the gameplay is still mega easy. If there is an AOE4 in the pipeline, which I don't doubt, hopefully they'll improve on some things, especially the soundtrack. A nice addition to the expansion is the research of further elements, elements that can seriously sway the game in favour of the person that knows how to utilise this research
