Age of Empires III Trailer is a video trailer for the empire-building simulation game, Age of Empires III.

Although this entry will talk about Age of Empires III a little, do note that this download is just the game's trailer. As it happens, Ensemble Studios (via its publisher Microsoft) decided to bundle the game's trailer up as a neat download, which is available where this review is posted. Although a trailer may not sound too interesting, keep in mind that trailers are where developers first try to sell the game – and where they show off its most interesting features.

With that in mind, the Age of Empires III trailer is exemplary. It features a good amount of gameplay footage, along with delineation of the game's biggest features. It does a good job of showing both the thematic parts of Age of Empires, where the player progresses through the 13th through 17th centuries as an empire-building warlord, and the gameplay parts, where the player builds up resources and an army to crush their foes.

Some gameplay features are not shown clearly in the trailer; particularly, although the game's infrastructural portions and so on are depicted in the trailer, the resource management aspects of the game are not well-represented in the trailer. Therefore, some of the details of gameplay may not be as the trailer makes them seem! Furthermore, there are several cinematic portions that are not based on the gameplay itself, which is common in trailers but might be seen as deceptive.

Overall, the Age of Empires III trailer is mostly honest, and depicts a game worth getting excited for – the exact same game you'll find in Age of Empires III itself.

Pros

  • An enticing, interesting trailer that engages a prospective player in the game
  • Includes some gameplay footage

Cons

  • Cinematic portions that don't reflect gameplay can be deceptive
