Pros: Dynamic, challenging, exciting Cons: Requires good processor performance
Without a doubt the best strategy game ever. Combines all the best elements of Civilization, Risk, and Outpost, plus the influence of so many other fabulous games before it. The improvements from Age of Empire's I are fantastic! Could use a few minor...

Pros: Just about everything you can think of Cons: I can't find any
Age of Kings is the sequel to the smashhit Age of Empires. It has been delayed for two years for the add-on Rise of Rome. But the people at Ensemble Studios took the time to get it right and created a masterpiece. In Age of Kings you can choose from...

Pros: Good Graphics, VERY good use of Strategy Cons: Costly, Expansion Coming Out
Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings is at the pinnacle of RTS games. It is the sequel to the popular Age of Empires, but with better graphics, easier gameplay, and Ensemble Studios, the makers of the game, perfected the game strategically by finding the...

Pros: Great graphics, Good sounds, Very Original Cons: None
I received many things on Christmas and one of these happened to be Age of Empires Two. At first I thought this would be another strategy game that would end up covered in dust sitting on a shelf in my house. Once I played this game however I realized...

Pros: great game, full of enjoyment Cons: quick ease
Long ago, in a time of mist and shadows, a little game from Microprose called Civilization hit the gaming scene with all the subtly of a Washington Post political expose. Some time later, Civilization 2, the hot-damn sequel, perfected the formula. Bruce...

Pros: challenging tactics and strategy. great multiplayer Cons: none
This is one product Microsoft has released about which I have no complaints. I originally purchased this game because I was hopelessly addicted to the original Age of Empires, but this game easily stands on its own.
As a medieval history...

Pros: Great graphics, game balance, and replayability Cons: hmm..... I give up!
Hi, my name is Kevin, and I'm an Ageaholic.
I have been playing Age of Kings almost every day since it was released. But it’s worse than that. I think about it when I'm eating, when I'm working, and when I'm driving. I've even had dreams...

Pros: Great game with a great story line. Cons: Somewhat confusing to most beginners and very difficult.
Age of Empires II is one of the best game of the year, if not the best. The graphics are great compared to Age of Empires and most other games. This game is an excellent example of what can be done these days.
Age of Empires II has...

Pros: immersive gameplay, endless strategies Cons: too addictive!
This games is simply astounding. I am a college student, and since I bought the game a few weeks ago, I have been spending way too much time sitting in front of my monitor, building castles, and stables, and barracks (oh my!) in order to defeat my...

Pros: everything Cons: none
If you like The Age Of Empires you are going to love this game. The main difference between AOE1 and AOE2 is that every thing looks so much more realistic and there are much more units to choose from. You can build castles on the game which in...

Pros: loads of fun, great multi player and single player, lots of educational value Cons: none.
If you loved the original Age of Empires, you'll ADORE AOE2. The graphics and gameplay has been improved TREMENDOUSLY. I love how the races differ so much, and there's the counter units, so that you must organize a good military. This game makes you...

Pros: Smart AI, interesting techs, nice interface. Cons: Several noticeable flaws.
As Reviewed by James Brundage
Admittedly, Age of Empires is really nothing short of a complete rip-off of Warcraft. However, Age of Empires is one of those few times that the rip off is better than the original. Warcraft had several...

Pros: Playability, flexibility, graphics, and detail Cons: Only strategy needed is: GET RESOURCES!

Pros: Too many to list - great single and multiplayer entertainment! Cons: The problem with internet connection sharing is a disappointment
I finally got my hands on the long-awaited sequel to Age of Empires, and it was well worth the wait!
The playability is amazing - I play at least 3 hours each night, and I haven't gotten bored once (only bored of the computer beating me...

Pros: Better than the first Age of Empires Cons: Still not that great
I couldn't stand Age of Empires, which is why I was hesitant to play Age of Empires 2. Under no circumstances would I have ever bought this game thanks to the bad taste the original left in my mouth. However, I did borrow the game from my friend (I'll...
