Real Time Strategy just doesn't come any better than this

AoE has a sound pedigree & the Conquerors' Expansion is the icing on the cake.
The facility to customise your own camaigns is irresistible & enthralling.
It has excellent graphics & a number of levels on which to play helps prevent early frustration & encourages learning.
This is ideal for both the seasoned game campaigner or the absolute beginner.
Hours of endless escapism - fabulous! |

An Absolutely Amazing Game

This is probably the best game of its type and definetly the best of the Age of Empires Series. The gameplay is outstanding, there are eighteen civilizations in all which are the Aztecs, the Britons, the Byzantines, the Celts, the Chinese, the Franks, the Goths, the Huns, the Japanese, the Koreans, the Mongols, the Mayans, the Persians, the Saracens, the Spanish, the Teutons, the Turks and the Vikings, they can all get a selection of units and ships aswell as each having its own unique unit/units. There are a lot of maps and types of games to play. There is a wide selection of things to research which different civilivations can get different amounts of. I would reccomend this game to anyone over Age of Empires 3 and any other games of its type. |

This is better than AOE 3

Age of Empires remains the ultimate in RTS games and this is without a doubt the best one. There is something about Age of Empires II that makes you still want to play it even though it was made over 5 years ago. Writing this review after AOE 3 having been around for a while I still think this is better. It's true that the graphics aren't great and the computer AI is poor but the gameplay is excellent. To experience the best from this game you definately have to play against another person but there is enough depth in the game with different maps and civilisations to make this great fun for a long time.
The Gold Edition gives good value including bith AOE 2 and the Conquerors expansion pack which is definately worth having. Get this game and enjoy the hours of fun to be had!!! |

In one word... AMAZING!

I had both of these games when they first hit the scene years ago, and several years later the thrill of seeing your army razing an enemy town to the ground is still incredible! I have been playing AOE2 since it first came out, and in my opinion it is testament to the quality of this game that I am still playing it now (the online capability significantly prolongs the gameplay, this was and still is one of the game's main selling points). The price seems to have gone up a little but even at this price it is still one of the best (if not, THE BEST) RTS experiences anyone will ever have! |

Great Game

This is one of the best games ive ever played, thats including all of the Command and Conquer games aswell as the black and white games. Microsoft really out did themselves with this one. I think that the create your own map part is really fun as you can just add more villagers or soilders to make a great mass slaughter. |
