You can play as either the British or the Spanish in the Mac OS X demo. I've gotten probably over 80 hours of play time just out of the demo. I can't wait to buy the bonafide version!
EXCELENT GRAPHICS. FUN TO PLAY. NOTHING REALLY BAD WITH THE GAME.
I've been playing this game since it was first released and added the expansion pack as quickly as it came out. I just don't get tired of it. I highly recommend it.
The newest release builds on the past two with all of the fantastic strategy included in the earlier games. The new improvements are vast and I'm sure that other users and reviews will be able to expand on them more directly. However, if you've played AoE games in the past, this one will not disappoint. They've dropped some of the more esoteric and mundane steps (like villagers constantly returning to town center) and have added simplifying features but haven't sacrificed any of the strategy. I think version three finally brings it all together.
There are a few features which are lacking, however, the scenario game play is a little weak in AoE III and I didn't see any addition in the expansion pack. Also, the scenario creator has so much potential for active users to build situations that others might like to play but requires so much time and effort as to be useless.
On the whole, I certainly recommend this game and the expansion pack to anyone who is interested in strategy games.
"Well, like i said, it is decent, but not great, so i give it an average score of 3."
"Would definitely buy from this seller again. Came very quickly and in condition that was stated. Thanks!"
