Easily one of the best strategy games of all time.
User Rating: 9.4 | Age of Empires III PC
Despite the 8.2 rating from gs and most others, im giving this game 9.5. Why you may ask, well because its just plain fun. I cant begin to describe to you how incredibly exhilarating it is to amass an army of 200 or more men and wreak total havoc. Combat is definitely 1 aspect of the game youll love. Another is the simplicity of this game compared to some strategy games i know. Its simple enough for casual players and in depth enough for the hardcore ones. The graphics are amazing, the sound is amazing, and it is awesome to watch 3 of your oppenents soldiers go flying after a blast from a cannon, or to see ship to ship combat. In this game you can also play as 8 different civilizations, all having different strengths, weaknesses, or abilities. For instance the british have powerful infantry and a good economy, while the ottoman have more powerful cannons, some unike units, and they can spawn villagers at no cost. Villagers gather supplies such as gold, wood, and food. Theres also somewhere around 20 maps too chose from and you can play online with friends. The only flaw i noticed was the boring campaign mode. All in all age of empires 3 is an incredible game that i reccomend to everyone.
