This game is awsome! Very well done. Anyone who has played the previous age of empires should catch on very fast. Even if you havn't played before it won't take long to get the hang of it. I have a 2ghz intel mac and have no problems. Graphics are amazing as well as the gameplay.
This surpasses AEII! March 14, 2007

This far surpasses Ages of Empire II. This is the game update that should happen for the previous game.
Patience is key, and a few spare hours do not hurt much, either.
I'm more glad I bought this (and waited for it) for MAC than PC.
This game was worth every penny, and even my husband, who is hard to impress, was kinda impressed by how smooth everything played. You really have to admire 17th & 18th century warfare to LOVE this game. A little knowledge about who was ally and who was enemy makes the game all the more fun.....
Enjoy!!
 Entertaining, but could have been better June 26, 2007

This game continues the AoE tradition with entertaining gameplay, but falls a bit short of my expectations for a new game.
What I liked:
-The new units require more strategy to use than in previous games. You have to have the right unit for the job.
-"Explorer" characters are a nice plus.
-I liked the pioneering peasants that can actually shoot, trade routes and trappers that bring you extra resources
What I did not like:
-The story was a bit cheesy, and flew through 150 years of history and endless geographical locations
-The graphics left a lot to be desired
-The lower-ranking characters still speak globbety-gook to you. "Hull-sahr" "Ahdilluous lookay!"
 Totally Dissappointed!!!! February 13, 2007

Well, there's not much to say except I played this game about 20 times and hoped somehow it would get better, it didn't!!!! The graghics are fine but the overall game sucks! I played Age of Empires 2 all the time and would much rather play that.
Overall, I can't believe I waited all this time for Age of Empires 3 to come out just to be dissapointed!!
 Fun..if a little dull August 9, 2007

Age of Empires III is an enjoyable hybrid between a classic city building game and a historical strategy game of the Civilization genre. As such, it can be a little slow once you've mastered the basics. The graphic quality is very good, and the scenario story is engaging. However, once I completed a full campaign, I didn't find myself wanted to play it through again.
