Reviews from

in the past


I never quite got into this game as much as AOEII, but I know plenty of people for whom this was their definitive AOE experience growing up. It's still a really good game, and the ability to level up your base was a nice change to make this game feel very different from AOEII. I also appreciate the effort they put into the campaign for this game, which was very fun and expansive. All in all, if you go in expecting AOEII but better, you'll be disappointed, if you treat it as a mostly different RTS system, it's a lot of fun.

Not as bad as people make it out to be, still pretty fun

Not quite as great as AOE2, but still a ton of fun. It's good if you're looking for something similar, but not quite the same. I spent way too many nights in college staying up until 4am playing this with my roommate.

Amazing game!
Nice campaign story.

No se que mierda hicieron con la version HD pero lo arruinaron, buenisima historia.


I think that, while I enjoyed it immensely as a child, there are shortcomings today that hold it back for the modern gamer.

Qu'est ce que j'adore passer 4h dans la meme game en 4v4 avec des russes qui ne comprennent pas qu'il faut attaquer l'ennemi au lieu de construire une belle ville et des murs. Si vous jouez russe avec les oprichniks sachez que vous êtes surement racistes

It's imbalanced and not perfect. But I have so many memories with this game. I had hours of fun playing multiplayer matches on LAN with my friends when I was in university dormitory.

Sunk too much time into this game to give it a bad review.

pretty fun. i can't say i really understand anything about this game, but the fact that i was able to get any enjoyment out of an rts is a testament to good game design!!

Underrated, i enjoyed it a lot back in the day.

best aoe game, hampter approved

I've learnt French through this game. Now wonder I suck at it.
Doing the ottoman rush strategy online will always live rent free in my mind

Strong 7

Somehow not nearly as good as AoE2. Still pretty good though.

The last good Age of Empires game, as I am not a big fan of Age of empires 4, this was a great conclusion to the original trilogy (?).
The differences from Age of empires 2 were minimal, the graphics were touched up a little bit and the story and storytelling was different. Still you dont need to change what isnt broke. This is a good game in its own right.
I have to say even though I really loved the stories it told, if i choose to split hairs, they arent told as well as Age of empires 2.
Still the design and sounds retain their taste and style and a good time was had playing age of empires 3. I would recommend a try for anyone interested in history and RTS games.

Step down from 2 but overall pretty good RTS with interesting ideas. Campaign overall its alright but nothing exceptional.

O jogo é tudo que o 2 foi mas com alguns elementos e pegadas diferentes, eu particularmente gosto mais do AoE II, mas esse é igualmente uma das maravilhas dos RTS.

This review contains spoilers

I got it in my head as a kid that Age of Empires always make campaigns based on real historical events, so when I was in 3rd grade I told my teacher in front of the entire class that knights from Malta found the fountain of youth because of this game. They called my parents.

Campaign frustrating at times but overall it's fun. Skirmish/random map really fun.

Difficulty Played: Normal

guys who think about roman empire way too often are the reason why this game got made into a series

Amazing real-time strategy game. Still is a lot of fun. My childhood. Also had really fun campaign.


Spent so many hours in this game. Just fantastic.

Had a great time with some friends playing together
