This game lives up to the recent Age of Empires games but lacks the charm of AOE 2.

User Rating: 8.7 | Age of Empires III PC
Age of Empires is a great series and it is hard not to like the games. The main difference between AOE 3 and the others is the graphics. The scenery looks great and you can finally see the units faces. Another major difference is the ability to have a home city which you can upgrade with different colors, people, things and even change the weather. During the game you can access your home city and send your settlement supplies, buildings, units or upgrades. The best thing about this game is the campaign mode which can keep you occupied for hours. The campaign consists of a family and its never ending fight against an evil circle. The heroes have special abilities and can collect treasures plus they can't "stay dead" and can be revived if allied units are close. All and all this is a good game but it could have been better and left me waiting for more.
