Age of Empires III Demo

This is a great demo. Enjoy!

Does not run with anything lower then windows xp....

aww man they fooked the series up, i liked it the way it was, 3d always f**ks up games

What? The 3d looks great! The stragy, gameplay and all the great stuff from AOE II is here, pluse a bunch of new stuff. And it looks great! Resourse gathering is a little different though...

Woa Dude! Rise of Nations did this like 2 years ago, what happend to Age!?!?!?

Awsome

Obviusly you people havent read what makes AOE 3 so great.One of its many amazing features (besides 3D) is the fact that like when you shoot at a building lets say for example:The cannon balls hits the roof. Well now that part of the roof actually gets damaged. The next shot hits the the wall, that part gets damaged....etc.Pieces will fall off and so on. Any units in the way when i building falls will die! Thigns are destructable and can give you new strategies!I suggest people go read the new features of this game.

it's still early to say aoe3 is great... let's play the demo before :-)anyway, 3d could be a good innovation

Yeah! Very good! I liked AoE 1 & 2... and Nr. 3 is deam good to!

i just tried it... and the BEST i can say is that i didn't like it :-( seems like it became a rpg-rts mix, bad a bad mix... beside, the 3d graphic isn't clear, the old 2d was better i think. plus, units seems slower, and don't give the "fell" of fighting of AoE 1 and 2. personally i really didn't liked this... and what the hell is the homecity? ahhh.... they are trying to cover their lack of new ideas taking elements from other games types, but it just don't work

Which i can download this game with out my work admin knowledge !!!

MG sucks, i can't post anything more than 1 bloody sentence, WHY!!!

is 'there multiplayer in da demo?

well, i do like the features of the buildings being hit and such, but uh, those min requirements even close?i started the demo, i'm assuming it picks the default settings, i haven't fiddled around yet, just turned on antialising to low, (turning it on off seems to make no difference) after about 10 minute the game seems to lag really bad, all 3d rts games i've played seemed to do that, my system specs (i realise i will have amd/nvdia fanboys flaming me now) p4, 3.2 prescott core, 512mb radeon 9800 pro, it plays san andreas fine, and flatout fine with 16x af/6x aa, hopefully its because its the demo and it isn't tweaked enough yet, but i know i won't be getting it if the performance is anything like the demo, i suppose it oculd be something wrong with my machine, but in my opinion this should be fast enough to play any game, at least play with the settings that the game selects as defaultsthe graphics don't seem that imprssive to me, realistic? well i admit the water is cool, but everything else ...

For me the best game on the world

i cant believe that game is yet out and a demo is yet availlable !!! this means play or die AOE 4 EVER

I like the new features and innovations but I was dissapointed with the graphics and the constricted zoom ability. The cinematics suck too.

I never liked aoe, and this new demo is no exception. Sure it looks nice and all but a middle ages rts game never appealed to me. I'm always like 'WHERES MY BLOODY AIRFORCE!!!!!' Heh

LOLI cannot even install the Demo it says my processor is not capable of somethingi have a athlon 1,2 Ghz and lowest requirement is a 450 Mhz processorLOL @ Micros**t games

Wipe my last postSYSTEM MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS ARE FOLLOWING:1,4 Ghz Processor256 MB of Ram64 MB Video Card with HW T&L370 MB of Hard Drive SpaceDirectX 9.0cBELOW THIS THE DEMO WONT EVEN INSTALL !!

well even with those system requirments, its very sad if u cant even meet those...

DEMO IS CRAP. No MP. AI IS SO EASY I beat them on hardest with out even trying. cinematics SUCK. cannons cause -SUPER- lag. Ahh 2D would have been way better. 2D games 4 life.

this demo sucked. they made it just like rise of nations and that sucked too. They changed the series its not the same. This is a totally different type of game. age of empires is lost.

System requirements updated

this sux, the sound is stutering really bad, the GFX isnt that great but lag like hell.Give me back AOE2!!

this demo is just part of hte basic Beta version. not the full game.terds.

"this demo sucked. they made it just like rise of nations and that sucked too."RoN is one of the best games(rts) ever

RoN wasnt bad... but hopefully this is better tho. i mean it looks pretty and all....

heheeeee

sickness i can't stress

who ever gave this a bad rating needs to sick to their fps games

if all of you say that this game sucks it because it does. i played the version number one, though i hardly remember how good it was.

amazing game, graphics are the best.

its too good

This sucks, Far Cry and Painkiller are waaaay better than this if you want killing and action.

what a f*cked up demo only for win xp or higher . is that some kind of a strategy microsoft use to sell more xp win ,oh well f*ck microsoft i'm instaling linux !!!

Damn this wont work under windows 3.1 or OS/2 ???great demo (content wise) and pretty fun colonization sim overall!

if i wanted to play RoN i would do it.... wtf is this demo?

Yeah, I have to say I was pretty disapointed with what I have seen so far. Looks like a mix of other s**t rpg's.. empire earth for example.

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Played the demo, uninstalled already.Don't like it, to gay for me.I C&C Generals fan.

I am Pretty Disappointed With this Version of AOE3,Despite the Fact That I am Being a AOE2 Crazy Lunatic,I feel that Ensemble has Let down in AOE3

I don't know about everyone else but I thought this demo was awsome.Great graphics and fun as hell. :)

To Anonymous at 1:8 9/9/2005:If you're too stupid to find a free copy of XP Pro then you're way too stupid to use Linux.

when i try and load the demo after intall just get a blank box with a red cross in it o well back to aoe2kinda annoying since my pc is atleast 2-3times the minimum specs

I agree with Rel. You guys are stupid. The demo was awesome and going to 3d didnt screw anything up, its still as restricted as it is in 2d. It plays perfectly fine max detail on my 128bit 9800pro so hah your stupid.

AoE 1 and 2 >>> than this s**t

I like it. 3d is good. It looks great... only thing is I liked the tim setting in age 2 better. I like my archers knights better thatn musketeers and such. One reason I highly favored it over some other games like RON or empire earth

There is a "rotatable camera" enabling buttony thing. BUT I CANT FIND WHITCH BUTTON TO PUSH TO MAKE THE CAMERA ROTATE!

I HATE YOU ALL! this game is ok. rather fun if you ask me. but has some major issues still. like the other guy said, its still technically a beta. (or so i hope)
