I own number three.
It's worth the price, the civs are balanced, the map editor is awesome, gameplay has several new perks and bonuses.
One problem, it's not much new, it's like AOE2, except with sexy graphics, a colonial setting, and some extra perks thrown in.
Don't get me wrong, if you like the older AOE games, you should definetely go for this one, but if you're looking for much new, you won't find it.
Although I could recommend it for the scenario editor alone.
Buy the complete version, you get to go up to age 5, it adds trains, like 6 more civs, and your homecity can level to a massive point.
Oh, way more random maps than the demo, a few extra play modes, and great multiplay!
