forgotten ideals of the former glory

User Rating: 5.5 | Age of Empires III PC
I am one of those fans who played age of empire 2 days of yore, and to be very honest, I am very bitter about this game. CONS:

1. What happend to the original languages? Who thought it was brilliant ideal to have all of them speak english? What made me enjoy the AOE 2 was the vast amount of clip of the other languages spoken to response to attacks. The whole voice over was that made the AOE so special., and when they took away from 3, I began to think LAZY directors.

2. 8 civils that weren't diverse enough. I think the creators really needed Rick Goodman in this project, considering his Empires: DOMW has so much difference in unit, it made a interesting game play. Why couldn't they incorperate such ideal in AOE 3?

3. Music was very uninspirering, everything sounded very emotionsless sound tracks, and character voice over were very stero typed. AOE was known for historic accuratecy.

PROS:

1.I really like the new graphics engine, and the water effect was great.

2.I personally enjoyed a fictional character development, but just cleated away from stero typing other nations.

3. like the ideal of progressive civ building.
