Will it work for windows 8.1

Age of Empires 3 is very addicting. 4 hours can go by in what seems like minutes. I don't know if it is as good as Empire Earth yet, but I haven't played it enough to decide for sure.

I was amazed by how fast my game came, i ordered it on monday and it came on tuesday. and it was free 3 day delivery : )

The game is great; It installed fine and I liked the graphics and gameplay made alota sense; im not gonna be bored for awhile

The only thing i would say i didnt like is that the four discs(includin the expansion) were stacked in the game box; I would prefer individual sleeves or cases for each disc

Strategy fans, its time for you to get excited! Microsoft Studios has released the title that drove us nuts when the first game came out. Age of Empires III is upon us and once again I think that this game is going to redefine the way that most of us will play real time strat games.

Pretty well a flawless game. Fortunately for me, I didn't waste my time on the previous installments of the Age of Empire series, nor any RTS since Warcraft 2, so when people tell you that AoE3 adds nothing new to the genre, they are both lying (Home Cities, for example) and suffering myopia from...

The graphics are colorful and varied, animations uniformly excellent, sound effects wonderful -- especially the female German villagers, and the cannons firing in quick succession; Multiplayer is really where this game shines

Single-player's only really value is to prepare you for multiplayer, and it doesn't do a very good job at that; Anyone who takes this game semi-seriously will make mincemeat out of you if your only experience is against the computer

Age of Empires 2. Now that's a tough act to follow. Not only is the game one of the classics of real-time strategy gaming, it's still going strong. You can fire up the game today and find opponents online without too much trouble.

If it hasn't become painfully clear yet, this game is for fans of the genre. It has all the trappings of an RTS game, and does little to bring in non-fans. There are no advanced military formations (there is a setting to enable advanced formations, but they're nothing special), you can't control the...

In Version 3 of the real-time strategy classic, you try to take control of the New World playing as one of eight "civilizations," each of which possesses unique "units" (equipment and personnel, for example). Game play is easy to pick up but hard to master.

Age of Empires III incorporates great game play, with beautiful sound and graphics. We can't think of any.

When I got Age of Empires III I found myself extremly excited. As with most other games, this one was scheduled as another breakthrough in gaming. Age of Empires III would shift RTS borders yet again, but does it? We shall see.
