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.

The singleplayer campaigns were pretty fun. The multiplayer probably would have benefitted from not having a meta progression system tacked on.
The colonialist themes of the base game are kinda bad, though the game is kinda self ironic about it (I'll never forget Napopleon telling me the natives prefer his oppresion over mine). I assume the expansions handle the cultures they feature even more insensitively but I haven't played them in ages.
Also I have no idea why they made the Japanese in this game vegan?
