Age of Empires 3 is an RTS classic, the (unfortunately) last game in the Age of Empires' series installment, was brilliant for it's time, and definitely still can count itself among the best classic RTS' out there, even according to the standards of today for that genre in particular, as well as the Strategy genre as a whole.
Aside from this, the game also has an interesting shipment system, which is quite unique, and spices up the game, that is not even mentioning all of the different units, from the different civilizations and their playstyles.
The graphics are beginning to show their age, but nevertheless are still quite good, and decent to look at.
The AI, though a bit rudimentary, at hard difficulty can easily prove to be quite a challenge, especially if you are fighting the French with the Napoleon personality (viva la Baguette?).
The game is not supported anymore, due to it's age, however, you can easily through third party programs like GameRanger find and play multiplayer games online.

Oh, and remember to launch the game through Asian Dynasties, as you would otherwise not be able to access the content of all of the DLCs and their content at the same time. Enjoy. : )
