Pros: Easy to learn, multiplpe game modes, and excellent multiplayer capability
Cons: Not that much of an upgrade from the original version
Age of Empires II is a recent edition to the pc game family and is well worth it to purchase. Graphics are excellent and the gameplay is good too. However, when many events are occuring at similar times, the game can get a little slow at times making...

Pros: teaches while it entertains
Cons: takes a long time to learn
I recently went looking for something to entertain myself on the computer. While browsing the games aisle my eye was caught by Age of Empires II: Age of Kings. I've never played the original version but the description on the box of this one was so...

Pros: Lush graphics, excellent AI, deep strategy, much replayability
Cons: Does not deviate too far from the tried-and-true real-time-strategy formula
First off, let me say that this is the first epinions review that I am writing, so stick with me if I go astray.
Secondly, let me say that I loved Age of Empires, the first one, despite numerous flaws. The most glaring of which would be the...

Pros: Great graphics, nice little touches
Cons: Some buildings not readily identifiable
Ever play Age Of Empires 1, and not be able to keep your civilization going due to constant enemy attacks? This doesn't seem to be as much of a problem in Age 2. You have more time to build your civilization, and diplomacy seems to have a much greater...

Pros: Great Graphics, a Good Second Edition to the Age of Empires Collection

Pros: New Campaigns, New Characters, New Tech Tree
Cons: Choppy Graphics, Too close to old game
I originally purchased this game because I have the original Ages of Empires. I thought I would like this one because I liked the first one. I was right I did like it.
The graphics are excellent on this game quite an improvement over Ages...

Pros: Tied for the greatest game ever
Cons: Tied with the first one
I purchased this game because I so loved the first one and I had bought the rise of rome expansion pack. While this game is somewhat different than the first, it is too similar to make the purchase of this, when you already have the first, to make it...

Pros: graphics, gameplay,
Cons: similar to earlier version
Age of Empires II: the Age of Kings, is dazzling! Just watching the opening movie was exciting. As an ardent fan of the original AOE, I was naturally looking forward to the new veriosn, but what it turned out to be was better than I had hoped. For...

Pros: Fun Exciting
Cons: Only for teenagers
I purchased this game because I like to play Strategy games like this. I chose to write this game over the others because this uses people form the history books. This game represents how civilizations grow and prosper through time. They also show that...

Pros: idle peasant button, well thought out,
Cons: takes some time before you get to play with large quanities of sharp objects
Have you ever wanted to sit down at home and cut objects (including people) without appearing in Silence of the Lambs? If so, this game is for you! The best part of the game is that you can play it in your basement with very little mess. Now I bet...

Pros: Each civilization different; great graphics; cpu incredibly smart; newbie-friendly
Cons: None I can think of, really
Most people would agree that very rarely does a sequel hold up to the original. Very few games break this mold. Age of Empires II (AOE, from here on out) is one of them. Regardless if you are an old player from the original Age of Empires, or if you...

Pros: Amazing Graphics, easy to learn, rich storylines, great multiplayer.
Cons: Some unit AI problems in computer multiplayer mode.
Age of Empires turned out to be one of the major games on my harddrive last year. I thought at first I would be daunted by overwhelmingly comlex interfaces and strange rules, however, the game turned out to be playable at all levels. Right out of the...

Pros: great graphics, excellent balance of civilizations and units
Cons: still kinda slow paced, tough AI
I have always been a big fan of war & strategy games. Some of my favorite games include Starcraft, Age of Empires I, Civilization I & II just to name a few. That's why I immediately purchased Age of Empires II (AOE for short) online when it...

Pros: Epic feel; great units; plenty of opportunities to imitate Mel Brooks and Monty Python both.
Cons: Chugs on slower systems; some driver conflicts.
Ever wanted to build a castle, fortify it with knights and archers, and then fend off an enemy siege? Ever dreamed of using a sword and shield in battle? Do you know what a trebuche is? Buy this game.
But let's be honest; Uncle Bill is...
