Age of Empires 3 demo coming soon

[Varsity]

AOE3 Heaven (http://aoe3.heavengames.com/) reports that the Age of Empires 3 demo (375MB) been completed and is undergoing QA at Microsoft.

"Demo's done (it went out the door to marketing today)... Finally
The highpoints:
* SP only, no MP
* 2 scenarios from the CPN
* 2 RMs
* 2 civs"
"The demo's actually a good time. I didn't go back and specifically compare, but it's quite a bit more gameplay than I recall the AOM demo having" ...Forum post (http://aoe3.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=st&fn=1&tn=23358&f=,,,&st=30#post34)

"Yea!" "Fight!" "Reddy!" "Yus!"

[Chagrinful]

Sounds like it'll be worth the 375mbs! I'll be looking for it.

[EvilBob46]

Good times. Looking forward to it.

Cant wait. Love the Age of series

[TheEpicOfTyler]

My computer is crying again...

[Tricky Thumb]

Should be interesting to finally get my hands on it... I just want a Civ IV demo though, really.

[Hizawky]

Oh wow, another game that will violently violate my computer.

[abso]

Woohoo! Next couple of months are going to be very nice for pc gaming. AOE3, Civ4, and TES4 all out soon. Finally some stuff worth playing.

[Rirath]

This will certainly help to pass the time til release and Elder Scrolls IV.
Hooray for games that actually have demos BEFORE release rather than months after.

[pablious]

Sweet, can't wait for this! AOE3 is probably my most anticipated game this year.

[captainstrombosis]

I Really cannot wait for it. And am extremely happy with such a small filesize (compared to DS2 1+ gig filesize) Gotta love ensamble.

[Kefkataran]

Never been way into the Age series, but I'll definitely check out the demo if it's that small. :)

AoE3 and CivIv... looks to be a good fall after a crappy summer

[bKangy]

I've decided against a launch Xbox 360...

But I am getting AoE3 and Civ 4! Roll on addiction therapy!

[Thenetcase]

I'll get the XBox360 as soon as I can afford it.. and after I've played it to make sure that it's going to be as good as they say it is.

However, Age of Empires III shall be purchased by myself the instant it become available. No questions asked.

I am not too sure about RoN2. When I spoke with the Devs at E3, they told me it would likely be a Spring 2006 release. But hey, I wouldnt mind having it sooner :D

By the way.. it's NOT Rise of Nations II. The Developers have said that over and over again. It's Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends. Rise of Nations II will be a completely different game (thinks Age of Empires / Age of Mythology). Similar in name but really nothing to do with each other. They shouldn't have even used the "Rise of Nations" title line (Which they later admitted to).

Just wanted to clarify this. Rise of Nations II will be much different than Rise of Legends. :P
