Pure genius.
I have played AOE2 before and I have to say, AOE3 is really an improvement. The only reviews here are PAUSE and ON, and the graphics are amazing.
Rule of thumb: Make sure your computer is a moderately fast one before playing. And if your graphics card isn't up to snuff (64MB or more), you, my friend, are totally outta luck.

Great game! Need a good computer!
Wonderful game but you need a good computer if you want to play it without lag or choppiness. I recommend a graphics card with at least 128MB and process speed of 300MHz. Also at least 512MB RAM for your computer is needed for smooth gameplay. If your computer is up to the challenge than you should play this game. Regular offline mode will get boring after a while so be sure to have DSL or some high speed internet for online play. Online play is really the highlight of this game.

Incredible Visuals and somwhat educational
My 10 year old boy loves this game. But, he also has been playing AOE 1 & 2 & Age of Mythology for a few years so the transition was not difficult.
If a child has never played a strategy type game before, you might want to explore whether they liek it or not.
While the graphics are incredible, my 10 year old says there are not as many historical characters in this game as he would have liked (i'm not sure). In Age of Mythology he learned mythological characters names and roles. In AOE 1 & 2, he learned some of the historical figures (he loves history). In AOE3 he hasn't run across many characters besides a slight mention of George Washington, etc. But he still loves the game and the graphics are amazing. He usaully looks up cheats on the web and tries those. Liek running over colonials with Monter Trucks and such. Incredibly addictive for kids who like history and/or war type themes.

Violent, but not bad.
AOE III is certaintly not for everybody. Parents should know that it is a game all about building up a civilization to crush another one. The only way to win is genocide. However, the violence isn't the kind of thing that I believe would alter someone's view on war in a violent way.
You should make sure that your child can handle the large explosions and mass deaths. However, if your child wants this game, chances are they are LOOKING for a challenging but fun RTS game. They'll be ready.
I believe that any Tween is mature for this game and quite possibly those in the single digits.
