I am not saying the game holds up amazingly well, but for a 20 plus-year-old strategy game, Caesar 3 is not bad at all. The different buildings and even many of the people have more little details that do help bring them to life. However, for an isometric viewpoint from 1998, I do feel that things are far more detailed than most people will probably expect. Now, you are not getting a Rome as you would get in a modern game. The presentation of the game is pretty solid in my opinion. However, the story of the game where you are trying to become the greatest Caesar of all time as you build your vision of Rome up to the grandest ever is really cool.
I still think that Sierra managed to capture the look and feel of ancient Rome very well, not that I have ever been there of course.
Even though this period of time has been done before in games and in all honesty with more depth and more personality. Caesar 3 is set during ancient Rome which is kind of obvious when you think about it.
