Caesar III for Windows

Pros: Challenging, absorbing, and gorgeously rendered
Cons: You may not surface for hours

With the frenzy, justifiably, building over the release of Pharaoh, leave us not forget the zenith (to date) of the City Building Series sequence that fathered the genre, Caesar III.

C3 is to C2 what the Concorde...

Pros: Everything one would look for in a city building game
Cons: Sounds get a little repetitive

I had played the demo of Caesar 2 a while back, and had enjoyed it, so when I found myself inside of Babbages with money burning a hole through my pocket, I said why not? I've been a loyal Sierra fan since the 80's, and have always enjoyed their games....

Pros: Balancing lots of different things at once
Cons: Missions lack variety

I missed the first 2 Caesar games and have not really played anything like this since Sim City 2000, so it was a nice change of pace from all the FPS and RTS out right now.

The basic idea is pretty simple. You are the governor of a Roman...

Pros: countless fun, very addictive....
Cons: puts economical knowledge to the test...

Cons: Military could use improvement

First I should say that Caesar 3 is better than the 2nd version of the game, but there are still some aspects of the game that need polishing. For those of you never played "Caesar series" game, here is a short description of Caesar 3; you are...

Pros: Great City Buildings, and no easy ways out
Cons: Limited combat

I absolutely love this game. Caesar III is a unique game, in that it combines a Sim City type of screen with Roman architecture, with the ability to fight battles. It is the perfect combination between Sim City and Red Alert. I purchased this game...

Pros: Great fun
Cons: nothing

The gaming industry has been making a movement away from the strategy genre. We can see it by looking at this years upcoming titles, Quake III, Sin, Unreal, Forsaken, Tomb Raider III and so on. All of those games focus on one thing, action: pure and...

Pros: Entertainment Utopia.
Cons: ???

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....

Pros: beautiful graphics and impressive audio
Cons: Some scenarios are difficult to pass

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...

Pros: excellent game
Cons: hard

When was the last time you heard "Rome wasn't built in a day?" Well now you can laugh at them! With this exciting new strategy game, you'll build Rome twice, three times before you turn it off! I am a huge fan of strategy games, and this one...

Pros: Alternative to Sim City, nice ambient sounds
Cons: Takes a while for your city to develop, mess up building your town and you might be crippled.

Ever wish you could build an awesome Roman empire but don't know where to look. Think you are really good because you are master builder in Sim City? Well show me what you got in Caesar III and I'll think about it. Caesar III is one of those build...

Pros: graphics, animation, sound, gameplay, fun
Cons: um,...water

The Caesar series is amazing. I am glad however to NOT hear the words "Plebs Are Needed" However, in all, I have to say i am in awe of this third game. Money gets very tite, and things tend to get very confusing and fusterating at times, but,...

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

The Roman empire did not fall because it was boring. Many other things that caused it to fall and you have to be a good manager if you don't want to fail at CaesarIII.
This game is highly accurate with many facets of ancient Roman cities to...
