While I didn't play the campaign of AOEIII, I would suggest you get the expansions. The Warchiefs expansion will feel like AOE 3, however the Asian Dyansties expansion has a more AOE / II feel to it.

There's always AOEO (Age of Empires Online), which is originally what I thought this thread was going to be about. AOEO has both single player and multiplayer, but an emphasis on multiplayer after you achieve level 40.

Some people have a problem with the more cartoonish style of AOEO, but the game is pretty good. Unfortunately, over the summer they tweaked the gaming AI and made the game significantly more challenging. For example, if you weren't necessarily good (like me) you could still win, it just took more time. Now you have to really educate yourself about the game, the units, and the enemy units. In my own opinion, the AI is as good, if not better than the player, which makes the game extremely challenging at times.
