Age of Empires III: Complete Collection Reviews
| 101 of 109 people found the following review helpful By Sci-fi and history reader (NJ, USA) - See all my reviews = Fun: This review is from: Age of Empires III: Complete Collection (CD-ROM) This collection of the basic game and expansions is a good value for Real Time Strategy (RTS) game players. The War Chiefs expansion is ok, campaign short, and not a lot of depth. The Asian Dynasties Expansion is a lot of fun, three campaigns (Japan, India, China), with each nation having their own wonders giving them unique special abilities. The different nations are neat, but not having a United States colonial civilization to choose from in skirmish mode is disappointing, especially after playing the campaign game in War Chiefs. The campaigns are easier to complete and have less depth than Age of Empires II (AoE2). AoE3 campaigns were overall fun, but require much less strategy to win; build one small army to defend your base and when the large army is ready to go, overwhelm the computer.The graphics have improved, but did experienced significant lag and even game freezing at times due to ship combat on the duo-core Thinkpad, even with all graphic options reduced...

The gameplay is very smooth on and offline! you dont have to have an internet connection to play this game in single player and its sad to say that many games now including starcraft 2 has to have an internet connection to be able to play it. The campaign is long especially with all the expansions The sound is great The online mode is simply flawless, i have been deployed in afghanistan and we have really slow internet, and to say that it runs smooth is just awesome! we have tried many other games online but sadly they do not run no were near as smooth. There is also lan for those of you who want to lan with buddies and play many at once. It is constantly being updated and patched so the game cannot recieve anything...

Tough in the "hardest" setting, but I was finally able to finish it. I used some "gouge" (Navy slang for "answers") that I found on the internet, to help me beat it. My only gripe is that you are limited to how many troops, ships, and cannons by the computer, which is a bit unrealistic (especially since the computer doesn't seem to have the same limitations), and maddening--you have the money to buy them, but the game won't let you, so you are unable to defend yourself properly from the hordes generated by the computer, and get wiped out. Other than that, I loved it! |
