On the graphical front, while no Age of Empires III, the graphics do look good, especially in motion. Crisp units, along with detailed animation really do bring the game to life. Often I found myself just watching battles and not giving orders, as it really does come across as quite realistic. Environments in the demo range from desert to forest, and all look suitably real in nature. Sound too is handled well, with the boom of every weapon heard distinctly and your troops radio messages crackling through the sounds of gunfire with a real sense of drama.
