Age of Empires III
Publisher: Microsoft
Developer: Ensemble Studios
ESRB: Teen
Release Date: October 18, 2005
Synopsis: Age of Empires III offers gamers the
next level of realism, with advanced battle physics
and unparalleled visual detail. The new game
picks up where Age of Empires II: Age of Kings
left off, placing gamers in the position of a
European power determined to explore, colonize
and conquer the New World. This time period
features stunning scenes, from towering
European cathedrals to courageous tribes of
Native Americans, and spectacular combat with
Industrial Age units like rifled infantry, cavalry and
tall ships bristling with cannons. In addition to
technology upgrades, Age of Empires III also
features a slew of new game-play elements,
including the concept of a "Home City," new
civilizations, units, technologies and an
immersive new single-player campaign that
spans three generations.




Good: Little explored time period,
building destruction, home-city
functions, great visuals.
Bad: Hefty system requirements,
European nations feel the same
from one another, not very exciting
gameplay.
