Good action and adventure July 7, 2009
Yvette Davis (Lancaster, CA)
I have purchased the previous Age of Empires and have enjoyed them greatly. This game is good, however I do not like the new audio for the sound the villagers when they are hit by rifle fire or anything else for that matter. To me, it sounded as if I had really killed someone in the game. I don't know if the makers were trying to keep up with other PC games or what, but they should have left well enough alone when it came to the battles. I don't recommend it for tweens simply because of the audio of the people dying in this game, but I do recommend it for older teens and adults. The graphics are great but you may have to adjust your computer so the game won't run choppy. Also adjust the sensitivity of your mouse too.
If your tweens are just dying to play this I strongly suggest to nix the sound on this. Maybe I'm weird but the sound the dying villagers and troops made really disturbed me. I prefer the old audio from Age of Empires 1 & 2.
 Okay, not great May 20, 2009
Terry Crock (Massillon, Ohio USA)
I bought the game. I bought the book. It was okay, but when I was done, I felt I could have lived without the book. I didn't really find it a big help.
Great for beginners, stats charts in appendices were helpful January 12, 2009
Skylar V. Mccune (Graham, WA USA)
This book has a lot of helpful tips, and looks like it would be very helpful for beginners at this game, or those who know RTS, but haven't played AoE III. The scenario walkthroughs for the single player campaign are very detailed, and I use the charts that layout the details of each unit very heavily. All in all, a pretty good book. (Could use some color, though)
 Not that Impressed August 31, 2008

The book Contains very little information about "treaty' and multiplayer stragety and too much on the single player walk thrus. The advice given in the book otherwise was good, I was suprised to find so many "typos" in the book. Guess the editor was on Vacation!
Well worth the money June 10, 2008
Marshall L. Merrill (North Carolina)
Rather essential as a guide to AoE3, with good descriptions of the various armies and their strengths and weaknesses and how to proceed. I can't seem to do what they recommend in sending out armies early and often, all I can do is maintain the home town and fend off the AI attacks--so far. Maybe I'm not being bold enough...
