Review: Age of Empires III

Pros:

  • The graphics are a very nice improvement over AoE2.
  • Better civilazation/empire building.
  • Rushes are a lot harder in this one.
  • More sources for food and gold.

Cons:

  • Nearly identical gameplay as AoE2.
  • No historically accurate campaigns (I am a history buff and therefore would at least like to see at least historical campaigns).
  • The better quality graphics seem to require a lot of hardware, more than I would have thought.
  • $50! There should be a warning on the box: If you played AoE2, just skip this one for now until you can pick it up for $20 on the bargain rack.
