What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
When viewed on its own terms, AOE3 is a very accessible RTS with some genuinely cool mechanics.
Epic fight scenes, beautiful graphics, an almost mind boggling array of maps available as well as the challenges and story line to complete, i am hoping The War Chiefs is included with one of the expansion packs, i bought the bulk lot, it is not listed as The War Chiefs expansion pack on any of them, i hope it is there under a different title.
Multiplayer is polished and active, offering countless hours of competitive and cooperative fun.
Lots of variety in mission and the story threading together the different time periods has aged surprisingly well.
I have yet to experience it on multi-player with other human players, have also been doing that with AI team mates on my PC version for years and co-op version, more to look forward to.
It is truly a masterpiece for any avid AOE player, you can have endless hours of entertainment with this game, depending on the difficulty level you choose, on the easy setting it shouldn't take you very long to win, on hard, be prepared for some serious hours of game play, and i have yet to find out how long a game could take on the hardest difficulty level.
