Amazon.co.uk Review:
In a nutshell:
The most popular historical real-time strategy around gets another update, as you’re put in control of the natives rather than the colonials in an attempt to fight back against the conquest of America.

The lowdown:
One of the few major complaints levelled at the original Age of Empires III was the odd way that Native Americans were handled in the game, where they played only a minor supporting role. Apparently they were saving themselves for this expansion pack, which includes three different tribes: Iroquois, Sioux and Aztec. Each has a very different set of units and buildings, both compared to the European factions and each other. The expansion also includes new hero units for everyone, new minor tribes (for a total of 16) and a new victory condition called Trade Monopoly where you have to take control of your opponent’s trading posts.

Most exciting moment:
The most unusual of the three new factions are the plains dwelling Sioux, who are master horsemen and do not need to build houses in order to create more troops. This makes them a highly unpredictable enemy and perfect for hit and run attacks.

Since you ask:
One of the most interesting new features for the European faction is to call for a revolution. This stops all your production for the rest of the game but instantly upgrades all your military units and turns all your civilians into soldiers. It’s a big risk but often the only way out of a tight spot.

The bottom line: A solid expansion to one of last year’s best strategy games.-HARRISON DENT

Great Game but Seriously Overpriced
First off the game itself is excellent and if you enjoyed Empires 3 you'll love the expansion pack, my only gripe and it's a big one is this pack is over a year old and is priced at more than the main game! £24 is outrageous for an expansion pack.

AOE lll, War chiefs review
This game is action packed and has some history with it to. From red indians to the british you can battle your way through and conquer all the land! The graphics on this game are immense and compared to the older AOE it is very realistic. I would reccomend this game to anyone who has played an AOE game before.

Much improved
the game fills in some of the gaps created by Age of Empires III. The graphics are fantastic as ever. the campaign whilst shorter is more interesting and the expansion pack adds greater depth to skirmish with the interesting option to rebel agaisnt the homeland and use outlaws. It is a real fun expansion pack, which offers a different approach to the original.
