I have played the entire age series of games for the past 14 years. From the glitchy aoe1 then rise of rome, then aoe 2 then conquerors then age 3 and warchiefs and asian dynasties expansions. Now for its simplicity and comfortable game play I usually just play the basic aoe 3. I moved recently and the gods of CD's wanted my aoe3 cd back, so it went missing. I trolled the stores only to find the game i have loved for all of these years isnt available in hard copy anymore. This is the first steam game I have bought and using their download service is quick and easy. I play the game daily again and dont have to worry about finding the CD ever again. Age is great to play and steam works well. Thanks everyone. Dave

I have been an avid player of Age of Empires II, and decided it was time to upgrade. This game is great, the graphics are great. I use a Toshiba laptop with Windows 8, and the game runs perfectly and smoothly, but it is very loud when the disc is starting up. This is the only disc I have ever used with this computer that has sounded like that. It has no bearing on the running of the game, but could end up worrying someone who didn't know this ahead of time. Personally I prefer the AOE II, but this game is fun as well and makes for a nice "change of scenery" so to speak.
This is a fun game I love the graphics and the pack that is is fun to play for hours. The only thing I do not like it that it is different from the old Age of Empires 2. You no longer have the option to build as many things as you did before, like the outpost which guard your base or where ever you put them you can only put down 7 of them and no more. Or you no longer have the options to build your own lumber yard or mining site, but on the up side the villagers can collect everything on there own. (with out a lumber yard or a mining site) The reason I bought this is because I love the Age of Empires series and I love this one to and this has both of the expiation packs with the game this was a great deal.
I love this game, It combines history with great game play and strategics. I highly recommend it if you like history and if you and strategy and RPGs this is the game for you. The graphics are amazing, very realistic, the plot lines are cool and interesting, but they don't drag out,(ie.. Max Payne 3's story line is like watching a movie, just to long and boring).... in this version You get Age of Empires III as well as the 2 expansion packs; Asian Dynasties and War Chiefs which contain new maps and characters and a whole new variety of choices; All 3 are like a whole new challenge. Great game with hundreds of hours of game play and more. I do recommend using the CAN YOUR RUN IT website to make sure it will work good on your comp, heres a quick link http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/intro.aspxRead full review
a really good classic strategy game. i love this game, because it is realistic. these kind of games are getting harder and harder to find now a days. if you are looking for a game like command and conquer, but more realistic get this game. it allows you to make ships and diffrent buildings. you can also get research in order to advance as well.
