Summary: Unplayable
Review: I bought this game because I had very much enjoyed Lords of the Realm 2. This game however, is virtually unplayable. Perhaps 15 years ago I would have tried to brave through all the difficulties and frustrations and learn to enjoy the game, but with all the quality games available today, it just isn't worth it.

The game interface is clunky and hard to understand. The tutorials do a poor job of preparing you for the game. The manual is thin and not very helpful. On the tactical level, your soldiers do not handle orders well, you cannot give orders to individual units, only companies, and they screw them up half the time. The tactical overview map is hard to read and it can be hard to tell where the opposing forces are. In combat it is difficult to tell the difference between your soldiers and the enemy.

Tactical combat goes on in "real-time" while stuff outside is going on. This would be fine, except once the combat begins, other forces can't join the fight. If there is a castle siege going on, you can't have forces come in to defeat the attackers. They just have to wait outside and twiddle their thumbs as the attack goes on.

It isn't very clear how you get the forces you want. You establish a knight on a piece of land, then he starts raising an army. What if I want swordsman? cavalry? archers? I don't seem to have any control, and I wasn't willing to play the game long enough to find out.

I threw this game in the trash. Don't waste your money.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: Lords of the Realm 3
Review: What a waste of money! I really enjoyed Lords of the Realm: Royal Collection so I thought I was purchasing a real hit. This game can't compare. I'm not in the gaming class of some of the people on here, I just like good entertainment. I can't tell you about graphic interfaces or anything like that but I do know the value of a dollar and if you buy this game you will not get what you paid for even at half the price!

Save your money, buy some good snacks and play the earlier versions.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Short and to the point
Review: I absolutely loved Lords of the Realm II. I was sooo excited for Lords of the Realm III. It was a MAJOR disappointment. Don't waste your money on this game. It's not even remotely as good as Lords II.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: better than age of empires
Review: The best computer strategy game of the year. excellent graphics. scenarios are amazing! you should definitely buy this game if you liked the age of empires series, the 2 stronghold games and any other good medevil warfare game!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Skip it
Review: After a LONG wait and much excitment, Lords of the Realm III did NOT live up to the hype. It has none of the personality that II did, and is a shabby game over all. It certainly doesn't compare to Medieval Total War. Skip it completely, save your money, and buy a copy of Medieval instead. MUCH better game.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: WHY MUST STUPID PEOPLE RATE A GAME NOT OUT
Review: THIS IS TOWARD Pierre, games not out and you give it a five star rating.PLEAAAAASSSSEEE!!!!. Get the real deal not a beta version before rating, and dont rate it off of old games.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: They gutted it. . . .
Review: As reflected in other reviews here, Sierra took out all the best parts of this series: managing the economy, delicate balancing of army, and even basic interaction with your cities. They took out the castle choices and the cool little videos. Even though the battle graphics were pretty basic in the prior games, it was unquestionably more engaging than the 3-D graphics but dull and incomprehensible battles in this game. In addition to the inability to control individual troops, I have had fighters attacking the air and other clipping issues.

This game is simply not fun, and made me want to fire up Lords II to remember what this series used to be about.

Get Stronghold or Lords II for a much better game.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I think this game is better than some opinions mentioned
Review: Hey, I love this game, multiplayer is cool...thats the best part of it and makes ya think when ya face real humans.

The Vassel System brings depth to the game, but in away takes away slightly. But, cool thing is theres between 2,000-2,500 vassels in the game itself...with certain strenghts and weaknesses.

The only negative is the interface...makes the game harder than it really is...its the stratigic interface thats hard, but once ya learn it your fine. So yes there is learning curves as well...

Battle interface is great...huge improvement over lords 2...

Sieges graphicly are good, but interface gets alittle clumsy there...when your men get in there castle gets kind of messy.

All I can say is take the time to learn the game and you'll love it, at first glance you might not like it, but once you get to play more and more as well as with multiplayer you'll love the game.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What are you thinking
Review: I've been with this series since the beginning. The first one rocked, the lands were huge you got to do so much stuff. The second one blew, you played on itty bitty lands and it blew. So I figured that the 3rd would be a return to the first, man was I wrong it was like the 2nd but more land, but as a price taking care of your towns was gone, you just threw servant down on a land and boom your done, what the hell, then to top it off when you attack ajacent lands you can basically destroy the crap out of it but you can't take control of it, that's not cool.
The only reason why I give it a star is because I like the graphics in the battle screens, but other than that this game belongs in a bargain bin, and the places that have it should pay you to pick it up.
