AOE III brings back solid controls and amazing visuals.
This time you can play from the 15th century all the way up to the late 19th. The game is as highly addictive as ever putting you in control over you colonies and little minions. The new main feature in the game is that you have a home city in Europe and you can call back to them for help like supplies, reinforcements, food, weapons, etc.. You have a story mode and of course multiplayer, with the most played mode create your own battle. Your can build your empire up and take it online to destroy the weak who get in your way.
The graphics overhaul is amazing bringing all the next-gen goodies to the game like HDR, and real time destructible house's, trees, and so on. The island maps with sandy white beachs and the water is o so beautiful.
AOE III is a great game that will have you playing for hours upon hours. If you don't own it pick it up now.
