Age of Empires is Strategy game in which you have to build a small like town like houses, stables, archery, military training (sword men), walls (to protect your villagers), Upgrade buildings, factory like things (I havnt played this game for ages so bare with me), navel docks, fortresses and towers there fire at enemy . And probably more, but i cant remember. To build all of this stuff you need resources like gold, wood, and food. Te get these you have to take villages and tell them to get these resources by mining them, cutting them, and catching|fishing|hunting|maybe other things. So after you have your town done. you have to attack the other players town with you army. When you fail you fail and when you win you win :] All of this is played from a top sideish view. Here's a screenshot. This is number III, from what i know there are 3 versions.

Combat
Age of Empires III gives players an amazing amount of control over their side of the battlefield.
More to command - Not only are you in command of large and diverse armies of infantry, cavalry and artillery, but also Native American warriors, mercenaries and tall ships.
Multiple formations - You can have different units use their default formations, or command them to change formation and stance. For example, Defend can allow an army to protect a fragile unit and also has them stand their ground and not get lured into a nearby fight.
Volley - Ranged units fire their weapons at range, but use bayonets or blades when fighting close in.
Melee - The default formation for hand units, but you can also command Musketeers to fix bayonets and only fight hand-to-hand.
Stagger - Spreads your troops out so they are less vulnerable to artillery fire.
Cover - Hand units have increased resistance, but move and attack slower. Useful for approaching an enemy colony or cannon battery.
Trample - Grants splash damage to hand cavalry in order to quickly defeat hordes of weaker units. But your cavalry will move slower and take more damage.
Defend - Keeps your troops in one place so you can defend a mountain pass or a fragile Mortar.
Limber - A mode for cannon to pack up and move quickly across the map, but prevents them from attacking.
Bombard - Your cannon can fire at will, but move slowly.
Real-time physics - Infantry struck by cannon fire will be thrown like rag dolls, perhaps even over a cliff and into the water. Cannonballs bounce and ricochet.
Detailed destructions - Shingles, shutters and whole towers may fly off a building and interact with the terrain, such as crashing into nearby water. This next generation effect is done on the fly so that each building always has a unique destruction, no matter how many times you see it.
Unique animations - With hundreds of unique combat animations, you'll never see the same battle twice.

The idea of having a limitless controller like the Wii controller it would be really easy it navigate throughout the game!
