Issues:

  • Lead: "The Asian Dynasties achieved gold status on September 28, 2007.[1] The demo version of the game was released on October 4, 2007,[7] while the full version was released in North America on October 23, 2007.[1] The game was generally received well by critics, with an 80% score on Game Rankings and Metacritic.[8][9] " – What is ‘gold status’ and why should anyone care? What makes the release of the demo so special (was there early reaction to it?) What were some general praise/complaints about the expansion? (Also funnels into development- you mention it was a partnership with Big Huge Games and Ensemble, that could certainly be mentioned in the lead.)
  • Going to suggest that you reorganize reception into aggregates, positive and negative sections instead of by reviewer like you have now, see Halo 3, et al.
  • The entire changes section isn’t helpful for someone who’s never played the video game. I suggest a short introduction into the gameplay (in the lead as well) as well as a link to perhaps the parent Age of Empires III article section which describes it in more detail?
