Review: this game was the best i ever had! it is mesmerizing. i sat hours at a time not knowing where or who i was at 4 am in front of the screen. it is challenging with 8 levels that i never made past the 4th! also a good deal of armed conflict with cavalry, legionaires, and javelin throwers. i spent 45$ about 2 years ago for this game is my only complaint! drquincy

Summary: try not to hum the theme from "Gladiator" while playing
Review: I bought CIII when it first came out, and recently reinstalled it and started playing it again. It holds up nicely, especially compared to its successor game, Pharaoh, which was based on the same engine. While you can die waiting for your pyramids to be built in Pharaoh, Caesar III, in spite of a few minor faults, remains a fun challenge in city building.

One thing this game could have used was a minor revision to add the most useful feature of Pharaoh, the roadblock. A problem you'll find more troublesome in CIII than its successor is that "walkers" will wander all over the place, sometimes leaving parts of your city lacking essential services. Check the overlays frequently; make sure you have plenty of prefectures for fire control, with more needed in dry provinces, and engineer posts for preventing structural damage, with more required in wet provinces. Also make sure to keep the gods appeased. There's nothing worse in the Miletus sequence than getting Neptune upset and having him sink your entire fleet of fishing boats, a really bad scene.

Isn't it funny, by the way, that Romans ALWAYS have British accents?!

If you love Rome, enjoy city building simulations, and like strategy, this is a game for you, especially at this great price.

Summary: Good game!
Review: I loved this game, (actually, I was addicted to it for a little while) but it is not the best historical civilization game that I've played. It only has a few scenarios, and it's really hard to win. It never seems like you have enough money or enough room to fulfill Caesar's requests. However, the challenge could be good for some people, and money managment can be developed. I guess that if you were determined enough, you could do anything on Caesar. While playing Caesar, remember, "PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE"

Also, the graphics on Caesar are really good, and it hasn't frozen on my computer ever. If you're looking for a historically accurate game, Caesar is it. My little brother is studying Rome right now, and everything that he's learning relates to the game.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the altimate game!
Review: It has been a while since I last played this game. But I can tell you this, if there is a good game out there, this is it.
If you like history and good game play this is the game for you.
Do yourself a favor and get this game.

Summary: Excellent
Review: This game rocks. My friend let me borrow it, and I made up excuses not to give it back for almost a year! I played Caesar II and, quite frankly, was very disappointed. It was impossible to win that game. Caesar III, however, is much easier. I read a review about a guy who could never win because of the ratings. I don't know what the hell he's talking about! I beat the game easily, and then went back and beat it again, taking a different path. And again. And again. That's how diverse this game can be. In the campaign, you are always given the choice between to assignments. The combinations are endless. Simply awesome.

The one thing I did not like is the fact that, once you get a thriving city going, your housing starts to require a lot of things. And unless you are very good at planning ahead, it becomes difficult to get them a steady supply of furniture, pottery, two wines, a varied diet, and olive oil at the same time. Not to mention the education requirements, need for entertainment and sanitation, water restrictions, and the need for arable farmland. That's probably the worst. Ideally, the farmland would be nearby to water, and there would be some forest or scrub near that as well. Not the usual setup, however, which makes getting pottery and furniture to the central populace, who is near the farmland on the other side of the map, a real chore.

All in all, though, this is a five-star game worth all the money you spend.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great!!!
Review: This game is so cool. It was a present to me for Christmas. I have the game Caesar 2 and I liked it so much I asked for Caesar 3. It also comes with the Pharaoh demo. I just wish that in Caesar 3 you could build fleets of army boats like in Pharaoh.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Simple and engaging
Review: Excellent stuff here. Very good graphics, simple interface, and the lowest learning curve I've seen since Diablo. Remember those old commercials for the board game Othello? "Easy to learn... hard to master." Describes this to a T. My only real problem with it is that the AI seems as if it could be a little more intuitive; places you think your sims will walk don't, and sometimes sims will stroll right by a non-operational place without working there in a city with 25% unemployment. (Drives me up the wall...) But adapting yourself to the AI is rather like being a free-verse poet and writing sonnets; eventually, you'll pick up the nuances. Highly recommended.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: immature and poorly set up
Review: maybe it's because i bought it at the same time as pharaoh.. but i was disappointed with this game's poor design.. it really lacks the potential intricacies that pharaoh has.. .. swap ancient egypt for rome, you'll be much happier.
