I have to admit that though this game is a good RTS game it is not what I expected. In Age of Empires and Age of Empires II I was used to playing historic battles for many nations. In Age of Empires III, you fallow the story of a family over 3 generations. Now though the storyline is good, I really expected the same time period but the ability to play as many nations in the colonization of America. However, like I said this game is still a great game. The graphics are improved a lot, but they are not too revolutionary. The graphics in AOE II and I were revolutionary but these graphics are great but not revolutionary. The sound effects were great, like AOE II and I; thankfully this had not changed. The gameplay is very good, and is defiantly improved from AOE II; I am really amazed with all the improvements. Even with a few disappointments this game still has a pretty good replay value. I think that this is a great game but it really needed to stick with the storyline pattern of seeing the historical time periods from the eyes of other nations. This is a great game and I recommend it to all RTS gamers, lets hope the expansion pack to this game will have storyline views from more then one nation.
