Pros: free from bugs, cheap
Cons: crummy gameplay, unchallenging, long levels, repetitive music score
Summary: Caesar III opened my eyes to the possibility that video game marketers might be an unscrupulous lot of scraggs. The lies I was told concerning this game [on the box, no less!] convinced me to take a little gamble and purchase what looked not terribly ... read more

Pros: this game is a good challenge great graphics let my kids play it
Cons: some levels seem a little too hard can get frustrating
Summary: A neighbor gave me this game a couple years ago to try and I still have it on my computer trying to conquer it. The idea behind this game is to build different cities. While you do this you have to keep everyone happy Caesar, your people, and the gods. ... read more

Pros: beautiful graphics and impressive audio
Cons: Some scenarios are difficult to pass
Summary: I can still hear the music in my head as Caesar III loads. The drumming rings into my ears and quickens my pulse.
I purchased Caesar II in a 5 pack. I enjoyed it enough and when I saw they had a Caesar III out I ran out to get it. I was shaking ... read more

Pros: Very Fun, Very Addicting
Cons: Music repetitive, Long levels
Summary: I recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of city builders. This game is familiar to such titles as Sim City and 1602 A.D. Not only is it fun but it is also educational to anyone interested in ancient Roman Culture. It is more than a traditional ... read more

Pros: Strategy and realism.
Cons: Finicky rating system makes advancing difficult.
Summary: "...They settled on the river Tiber. They called it Rome. It thrived..."
Caesar III is third in the line of the Caesar series and is definitely the best. Fans of Pharaoh and Zeus should already be aware of the existence of Caesar ... read more

Good Manual.
Cons: Steep Learning Curve. Sometimes Too Challenging

Pros: Average graphics
Cons: difficult to play
Summary:
One of the things you have to understand about Caesar III is that you can't fully understand it. Like the box says, your goal is to build a better Rome. Unfortunately, they don't tell you how. Sure, you have to zone plots of land for people to ... read more

Pros: Great Historical Background, great game, cool graphics
Cons: citizens so damn hard to please
Summary: Here it is, another impression game, a game from Sierra. Caesar 3 is one of the greatest city-building games in my life. Being a fan of controlling armies and cities, I actually liked the idea of being " Caesar." I started the game. I built houses and ... read more

Pros: great realistic graphis, accurate history, villagers have opinions, challenging stragey game, excellent manual
Cons: prosperity and desirability are hard to get; battles are a bit weak

This game is highly accurate with many facets of ancient Roman cities to ... read more

Pros: better random selections (previously alternated)
Cons: Battles aren't as good as Caesar II :(
Summary: I purchased Caesar III at my local Micro Center because a friend had gotten me its predecessor, Caesar II for my birthday. I must say, it is far superior! You have to build a functioning city, while at the same time repelling foreign invaders, keeping ... read more

Pros: Nice graphics, sound and interface. Highly addictive. Very logical and simple to understand. Clear and easy to follow.
Cons: Battles a bit weak and simplistic
Summary: For a long time I avoided the Caesar series. I had first seen the original Caesar years ago on my trusty AMIGA 500 and never could make head or tail out of it. The single floppy disc which it came on soon found its way to the darkest ... read more

Pros: fun and exciting game
Cons: Hard to stop once you start , suffer from sleep deprivation :)
Summary: I purchased the game because it was inexpensive and I was bored with Sim City. It seemed to be more exciting, with a different style, so I gave it a chance. I'm really glad that I did. Although, the IDEA is like Sim City, the rules are not. It was a ... read more

Pros: Incredible improvements
Cons: I'm not really a governor
Summary: Caesar III is a remarkable improvement upon the rough game play of the second edition, and is strikingly more fun than the intense strategy that normally comes with this sort of 'build a world' game. My wife bought the game for me on my birthday for 11$ ... read more

Pros: Entertainment Utopia.
Cons: ???
Summary: After mastering Caesar and Caesar 2 I decided to move on to bigger and better challenges. Caesar 3 was much more difficult, but it was also much more exciting. In Caesar 3 you will find new buildings, people, provinces, opportunities, and enemies. ... read more
