Pros: free from bugs, cheap Cons: crummy gameplay, unchallenging, long levels, repetitive music score
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...
Pros: Very Detailed. Deep. Very Challenging.
Good Manual. Cons: Steep Learning Curve. Sometimes Too Challenging
"Build a Better Rome," is the slogan on the box of Caesar III. While you don't actually get to build Rome itself, in career mode you do get to build various Roman cities throughout the ancient Roman empire as a provincial governor moving up through the...
Pros: Strategy and realism. Cons: Finicky rating system makes advancing difficult.
"...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...
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
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...
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.
Pros: Complex & interesting gameplay, low pc requirements, good graphics & sound Cons: Kind of buggy and Caesar's demands can get crazy
Caesar III is a city-building & management game much in the same spirit as the popular "Sims" titles. This game, as the title implies, takes you back to ancient Roman times where your goal is to "conquer" certain scenarios that...
Imagine yourself as the ruler of a bare-bones settlement in the time of Caesar. It is up to you to plan how to construct, manage your resources, establish and maintain an economy, protect your settlement from crime and outside hostilities, and establish...
Pros: Challenging and FUN! Cons: Not for young children
Would you like to be in charge of your own city? Of course you would, and Ceasar III lets you do just that! In this game, YOU are the boss, of a Roman Empire province, no less. For those who enjoy such games as Sim City,...
Pros: Great graphics, intricate micro management, lots of fun Cons: Too many problems too frequently
I am a huge fan of building/simulation games. I had played Caesar II at someone else's house and almost bought it for myself when I realized that Caesar III was coming out. I decided to wait.
I finally bought myself a copy of this game and sat...
This game is cool. It has a mixture of Sim City, Sim Earth, and Civilization all in one. The cool thing about this game is that you do not need a blazing fast computer to run it.
This game may be like the other sim games, but the unique part...
Pros: countless fun, very addictive.... Cons: puts economical knowledge to the test...
After purchasing Caesar II and playing it off and on for the last couple of months, I finally was getting the hang of how to play the game. A few nights ago a relative dropped off Caesar III for me to give a try. WOW !!
I am truly amazed at the...
Pros: great graphics, can have different gameplay each time Cons: none
It's Sim City..with a twist. It's a Roman City..and you're the head of it. Go ahead, build your empire! Build your city the way you want it o be, create all those buildings, control taxes and commerce! Everything is up to you, you have the power..just...
Pros: You can see what the designers had in mind. They almost got it right. Cons: Unrealistic frequency of natural disasters, combat can't be avoided, religion system poorly done
Having played and enjoyed Caesar 2, I was anxious to pick up the next game in the series when it was released. I was immediately impressed by the nice graphics, online tutorial (every strategy game should have one!), and improved play mechanics. Here, I...
Pros: Worth every cent and is just the best sim released in a while Cons: Takes all your time, very involved, not that is a bad thing
When you first look at Ceaser III it doesn't look like much but hang in there as it just keeps getting better as you go on. If played Sim City and liked that you will love Ceaser III but be warned of how much of your time it will take out of your life,...
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: Great city simulation. 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: good graphics Cons: music gets annoying after a while
Sierra is on a role. Their newest release, Caesar 3 is sure to be a smash with enthusiasts. This continuation of the popular Caesar line of games is more than an evolution from the previous designs, it a step above and beyond.
This game was awesome because of the good graphics and logical. That is why i purchased it. It was really realistic because the armies were great because they had special shields that blocked arrows and they attacked real well.
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: A superb city sim game Cons: Requires 500 megs of HD space to install
Caesar III is a nice and fresh look at the city simulation. It is significantly better than its predecessor Caesar II. Gone is the province/city window hopping-now you have a single map for the city where all the action takes place: the building, the...
Here comes Caesar's army...No, this game is nothing related to Julius Caesar or his empire. The creators behind this title simply combined the elements of simcity and age of empires together to form this incomplete hassle. I must admit I was somewhat...
Pros: realism, addictiveness, not too complex Cons: nothing
If you enjoy problem solving, history, or just like fun and interesting games, Caesar is a great buy. It leaves Caesar II far behind as it has an easier game interface and is more realistic. Neither of these make the game any easier. The basics are...
Pros: Graphics, Sound, Addictive, Gameplay Cons: it takes lots of memory, and will not run smoothly with a slow computer
This game is as good as they come, a full installation will consume 550 megabytes of your hard drive. And will consume days of your time, it is VERY addictive.
Gameplay. replay value: The gameplay itself is A+, it is a building game that...
Pros: Great visuals, realistic gameplay Cons: None
I admit that I enjoy computer simulations of all types, from the first Sim City to the latest sports simulations. Mostly these tend to be either statistically wonderful but graphically inept (like Front Office Football) or visually pleasing but lacking...
Pros: complex, interesting, easy to use Cons: none
Rule your own Empire from the bottom up. Control trade, religion, entertainment, health, sanitation, military, diplomacy. Watch it all in real time. The graphics are amazing. You plan your city and it grows according to your plan. As citizens move in...
Pros: Great Gameplay, Easy to Learn, Hard to Master Cons: No Conquering, War Less Fun, Bad Videos
Caesar III is a sweet combination of Civilation and SimCity just like its predecessor Caesar II. The main point of the game is to build cities until you reach a goal set by the Roman Emperor. After you complete each goal you are given another, harder...
Pros: Very good simulation...entertaining for hours Cons: none
Have you ever wanted to live in Rome? Well now you can. Well at least you can be part of the Roman empire in this great simulation game from "Sierra". "Caesar 3" comes at you with many improvements from "Caesar 2"...
This game is phenominal. Literally. It surpasses Caeser II in nearly every way. The gameplay is smoother, allowing you to work your way up and not get thrown in the deep end right away. It's more fun, seeing as it has more fluid screen, easier to...
Pros: Many options, good sound, good manual Cons: Graphics dated, 2 1/2D (Like Simcity 2000), some comments will get annoying from your people.
I purchased this game at my local EB for $40 thinking, "what the heck, I've got money!" and I'm glad I did. The game blends elements of RTS (Like Starcraft) and city-building (Simcity 3000) to near-perfection.
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: Beautiful graphics and excellent game play Cons: none, really
This game has been endlessly compared to SimCity, and rightfully so. SimCity came first, and the Caesar games are clearly based on the same basic theme. So what makes Caesar 3 better than SimCity 3000? Caesar has stuff that SimCity doesn't. For example,...
I love a challenge and thats exactly what I got with Ceasar III. The game grabs your attention from the very beginning. It starts off easy enough and then the stages get harder as you gain more knowledge of the game. Its the best I've played in a long...
Pros: Okay Graphics,Kool sound effects,easy to learn/use/get used to,lotsa buildings and monuments and fun fun fun! Cons: Music is boring, people get repeating,people go right through others when they walk.
I downloaded the demo and I loved it! You can go in two different modes. Career or City Buliding Mode(something like that). In career, you start out in the lowest rank (citizen) and try to reach the highest rank(CAESAR!). In the beginning it tells you...
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...
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...
Pros: Incredible improvements Cons: I'm not really a governor
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$...
Pros: complex, challenging, fun Cons: not great graphics
Like many if my games, I bought this one without really knowing much about it. It had just comes out and looked pretty cool to me, so I got it and bought it. After playing it I really started to like it a lot. I was very challenging. I love challenging...
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...
Pros: good graphics, understandable directions, easy to learn Cons: slow at times, sometimes hard to move up levels
This is the first people simulation game I bought. I admit I got hooked quickly. Caesar III is different from SimCity because you put individual things in the game. Put a hut for someone to live, build a farm. In SimCity you just put a whole block for...
Pros: inexpensive, easy to learn, fun, addictive Cons: too cartoony
I got this new game for Christmas and I haven't stopped playing it for two months. Ceasar III gives you the authority to build your own kingdom. Much like Sim City but there is a plus. There are battle scenes.
Pros: Good graphics Cons: Much easier than Caesar II
I was eagerly anticipating the release of Caesar III because I enjoyed Caesar II so much. I was disappointed to find that while Caesar III definitely boasted better graphics, Caesar II was much more complex. I like to be challenged, and Caesar II...
Pros: long lasting , many challenges Cons: can become extremely challenging
Caesar III is one of the best games ever made in the history of mankind. Not only is it fun and entertaining, but you also learn many facts through the game, such as the religion of the Romans. Caesar III has five gods that you must appease, and by...
We purchased this game because my husband really enjoyed Caesar II. I, myself, had never played it, but boy did I become hooked on III. This game is an awesome city building strategy game. Every decision you make is an important one. Your buildings...
Pros: Complex yet easy to learn Cons: Battles are lacking
Caesar 3 is a great city builder. There is almost always something to do in your city. Satisfying your people and the Gods is no easy task. Caesar 3 offers a challenging chance to build Rome all over again. The graphics are fun and the peoples...
Pros: Always wanted to live in the days of the Roman Empire? It's either this or building a time machine. Cons: If you aren't into managing and keeping track of things, this game will be boring. It's not an action game, it's city building and management, but it's REALLY FUN!
This games is very fun! This is my first time playing a simulation/strategy game. I was interested in the idea of playing a game set in the Roman era after having watched the Absolutely Awesome movie Gladiator with Russell Crowe. I actually didn't know...
Pros: How easy it is to blow 5 hours Cons: Oh, lord, how easy it is to blow 5 hours
Never one to cheat, (hem hem), I won't tell you you can make fountains pay you 20,000 dinars. This game ALMOST mixes brain power with video fun perfectly. Although the music has got to go, the only other "hurrumph" I can find is that the...
Pros: Realistic; addictive Cons: Same as Pros (assuming you don't like those)
Argueably, the Caesar series is a great one. Always the next better than the previous... Well, I think they hit a bump in the Via Appia... Caesar III, just seems... Well... Over-done... There are SO many inherant factors, that you cannot control,...
Pros: great appearance Cons: need to conquer not only defend
Caesar III is a game that grabs your interest. The game is built to start simple and grow harder with each successive assignment. The timeline is odd: we are in the Roman Republic fighting Hannibal but there is an emperor to report to. One must...
Pros: Great Historical Background, great game, cool graphics Cons: citizens so damn hard to please
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...
Pros: High enjoyment factor Cons: tough to go from level to level
Caesar 3 is simulation of a different kind. You have the important task of pleasing the emperor of Rome by building certain cities. In this game you can choose either a province with a high level of danger and one with out danger. This feature makes...
Pros: Easy to understand, beautiful graphics, totally addicting Cons: You can forget about any chores you have to do...you will be glued to this game!
I have been an avid game player for a long time. Never has there ever been a game that has held my attention for so long. This game is complicated, but easy to get the hang of. Your city's ratings are compiled of very different things. Are you...
Pros: graphics, different landscapes Cons: lack of battle control
So I came and saw, but still haven't conquered. I bought Caesar II when it came out a few years ago and loved it so Caesar III was one that I had to have as soon as I saw it on the shelves. If you played Caesar II you know all the general ideas of the...
Pros: Very Fun, Very Addicting Cons: Music repetitive, Long levels
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...
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
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. ...
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: better random selections (previously alternated) Cons: Battles aren't as good as Caesar II :(
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...
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,...
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....
well i played it for just a little bit at first but its a great game its sometimes to me a role-playing game but it deals with people from back then. The only problem sometimes is when you get tried of it you cant choose a different civilization but its...
Pros: fun and exciting game Cons: Hard to stop once you start , suffer from sleep deprivation :)
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...
At first, i didn't really like this game. I got a sample of it and didn't really want it, at first. It, however, captured me when I was forged into battle with rivals of Rome. It took me to another place I never been to. The sounds makes me feel like I...
Pros: Good strategy, more options than Caesar II Cons: Takes a long time to play
I am not usually in to video games, but I really liked this one. You really need to think to figure out how to best set up your city to meet the game goals. The graphics are better than they were in Caesar II, but the game premise is the same. There are...
Caesar III, the sequel to Caesar II, seems much better than the original at first, with new interface, and better graphics, and a more in-depth game making it harder with new game concepts such as trading and new buildings. Yet, after a while the game...
Pros: Could last a long time Cons: Worthless details
I bought this game thinking it would be a good empire building type game. Well, it is an empire building type game. And that's all I was right about. The gameplay is not very good at all. Maybe if you can move a mouse as quickly and accurately as you...
I purchased this game a month or two ago and have been playing it since i got it. Everybody would think that this game would be boring and dull after a while, but you can't stop playing it after you start. This game is expensive in many places. I got...
Pros: Great sim control, Great playability Cons: Lack of controll in city
Put your self in controll of the most powerfull empire in Europe. As Governer of a city you watch as it grows into one of the larges, and most technilogicaly advanced City in the Empire. The game play is similar to that of Sim City. You start off by...
Pros: great graphics, nice plot line Cons: little difficult
First came Caesar I and then an even better version came Caesar II. Finally Caesar III came with its wonderful display of realism. Caesar III is must-buy. If you like Warcraft II, Diablo or Starcraft, you'll love this game. You must first build and...
Pros: Hours of fun Cons: Not a war game as cover may imply
What can I say, I love this game. I could not stop playing it. Was staying up to 2:00 AM for weeks. Although the game shows a soldier on the cover, battle is a small part of the event. You need to build your city starting with housing. This attracts new...
Pros: gameplay, graphics, etc. Cons: slow to load in some computers
This was actually a game that my friend bought from Best Buy for $20. Definitely worth the money. I generally love strategy/simulation --God Games. and this is definitely a keeper.
you are a helper a ceasar and you help him build his empire. as you...
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...
This game is the ultimate strategy/role playint game. The greaphics have to be the best i've ever seen, and it is so realistic and fun. You have to avoid battle, build walls, and plan armies. YOu'll have fun trying to keep up your cities while...
This is one of the games that I thought would be good before it came out because if the first 2 sold out and there making another, well I think they got a good product. I bought this game awhile ago and I think I played it about 8 different months and...
Pros: none Cons: bad graphics/ bad/annoying sounds/ bad quality
I got Ceasar III one christmas at first i was really happy but then i was very dissapointed in the whole game. Ceasar III has bad graphics, bad/ annoying sounds, and allround bad quality. Ceasar III shouldn't have come out in the first place, i mean it...
Pros: Great music, many buildings, nice graphics Cons: desperating in the beginning, too easy as you grow.
Caesar 3 is a game in which you must build a roman city. thats the main objective, but in order to do it you´ll have to look after may issues, like having the caesar and the gods happy, not letting your buildings bun or collapse, build entertaining...
Pros: graphics, Roman era, control of individuals, speed of game play Cons: difficulty
Caesar takes a different approach than SimCity. Instead of controlling the town with such factors as residential/commercial/industrial, you also have much closer control of the individual people. You can control the types of people in your town/city, as...
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...
this is a great game. i loved since the first time I played it. The game takes you back in time to when the Romans lived. When you start the game it is very to get passed the first level or so. But as you go along it gets harder and harder. The...
