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.
