Pros: Polished graphics and sound, great replay value, very fun. Cons: AI could use a little work.
Introduction In Microsoft's Age of Empires (developed by Ensamble Studios), you are charged with the daunting task of building your own empire. This requires a balance of many factors, and with many things to be done you ...
Pros: Improved maps, game play, civilizations and scenarios Cons: none
Recently receiving Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome expansion disc was a welcome surprise. Having played the original Age of Empires virtually non-stop for the past three months I was thrilled to try something new. With very few games in...
Pros: Outstanding historically based, role-playing game Cons: none
No subtle hints from me that's for sure. I must have said one hundred times or more in the weeks leading to Christmas how much I enjoy historical role-playing games. I probably even said how fantastic Age Of Empires is, and what consistently...
Pros: Extremely addictive. I just can't stop playing it! Cons: Population limit.
I just can’t stop playing this game. Am I addicted? Possibly. Microsoft’s AOE happens to be one of the few games out there that’s capable of keeping me busy way past the 8 hour mark. Showing no signs of defeat at 10 hours, I pressed on, determined to...
Pros: many different play levels, some historic facts, fun Cons: comic book death
My son bought this game a couple of weeks ago with his Birthday money. At first I just watched a few times - looks interesting. Then I sat down and tried to help my youngest play. Then I got hooked! This game is VERY addicting. I always tell myself...
Pros: good graphics Cons: boring, repetative, games can last a very long time
I purchased this game a few weeks ago along with the Rise to Rome expansion pack and can say that it was much more fun when I played it at my friends house that one time. After playing this game for more than a few times, you realize that it is...
Pros: great graphics, addictive game, very fun Cons: takes a while to play and even longer to win
For my 17th birthday I received a brand new Micron computer – fully equipped with CDs too numerous to mention. One of these CDs was entitled ‘Age of Empires’. I’ve never really been interested in computer games (mostly because I haven’t had a computer...
Pros: More Great Battles, New Battle Fields, New units, more pros than I can list here. Cons: Few, They certainly do not outweigh the pros - Habit forming
Worthy of having won the Wargamer Award of Excellence and being named Best Strategy Game of the Year by the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences (not this year).
Developed by Ensemble Studios, this game is part of the Age of Empires...
This game is really a new twist to those other real time strategy games. Its like a combination of warcraft, with command and conquer. It sounds really good and in some ways it is but it needs some help. You harvest food, stone, wood, and gold. And its...
Pros: Lots of different ways to play Cons: VERY time consuming
Age of Empires started out as a bane to me because one of my friends was always playing it when I called him. I could hear it over the phone, and kept asking him what channel he was watching. At last, I got a copy for myself and found out why he was in...
Pros: Historically accurate Cons: Seems to be easier than the previous release
Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome is one of the best expansions I have ever seen on a strategy game. Still, as much as I like it, it has both strong and weak points. I'll start with the positive stuff about it.
Pros: Fun Gameplay, multiplayer Cons: Graphics can be improved, need more units
Here are the facts: Age of Empires was a great game when it first came out. It is a lot of fun too. But compared to recent games such as its sequel, it doesn't quite measure up.
This is the latest in the genre of real time strategy games, this...
Pros: not the worst out there Cons: because it is one big steamy pile of elephant dung
That what this game is to me. I played it and thought that it might be ok but I was sadly mistaken. I still am shocked that they actually made this one and a second. Also, most people actually like this game for some strange reason.
Pros: Mini history lesson after each scenario and great graphics. Cons: Takes patience to complete a scenario. Some children may get bored.
I bought this a year or so ago. We played it tirelessly for the first few months, then it was put away and Diablo was the game that every one wanted to play.
We got it back out the other day, and guess what? Everyone wants to play it again....
