Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings for Windows

Pros: Idle worker, Multiple resources
Cons: the interface still isn't as great as the Blizzard titles

While this program is a blast to play, it just doesn't have the flair of the Blizzard games in the same category (Starcraft, Warcraft) since I'm sure all of you have already defeated the zerg, terran, and protoss and well the Warcraft II graphics are...

Pros: addictive, battle formations, and Gates/Walls
Cons: Can be very slow it depends on computer

When I first played AOE2 I loved it. I have played Warcraft 2, StarCraft and Command and Conquer. I believe that AOE2 is the best one out of all these. I do not own this game yet but I am soon to get it. AOE2 has a lot of different battle formations and...

Pros: Very cool units, great graphics, good replay value.
Cons: Like most strategy games, can be time consuming.

One of the best real time strategy games in recent history, Age of Empires II tops Warcraft II and for all those who enjoy non-fantasy strategy games, AOE II the best. Aside from the Close Combat series, Age of Empires II is the best historically based...

It's been a week since I started my campaign against seven of the hardest computer opponents that Age of Empires has to offer. It was an epic battle with many twists, almost unending pressure...

Pros: Great graphics, movement and sound. Advanced strategic combat,hundreds of different armies and civilizations to choose from.easy to learn.
Cons: Incredibely difficult to conquer other empires (not really a Con for some). Multiplayer could have been better.

But microprose struck gold with the idea of making a civilization game entitled "Age of Empires" TM.
This game is a great buy for any person who...

Pros: Well thought out, very intuitive
Cons: none

AOE2 is a great game. That is assuming you like this type of strategy/war game. I had played the old one from start to finish and loved it. This new version doesn't really change from the original plan or appearance. It fixes several little bugs, and...

Pros: Cool new units and technologies, more control over armies
Cons: A bit complicated in battle with so many special unit bonuses

I vaguely remember the six months after I bought Microsoft's Age of Empires and Rise of Rome expansion - the hours I spent in front of the computer just blurred together after a while! Needless to say, when Age of Kings was released (and I finally found...

Pros: Great real-time action, tremendous strategy
Cons: The online zone can be slow at times

I have to say something first...I'm not a gamer. I don't play a lot of games on my computer and don't own many. But when I received this game as a present, I became instantly hooked. When people say it's addictive...they're serious. I find myself...

Pros: There's so much new stuff

If you thought Age of Empires 1 was good, wait till you play the second version. Now you can put soldiers into buildings and they can attack from the inside of your towers or your castle. You can trade lumber, food, stone, and gold when you...

Pros: Graphics,Multiplayer,Campaings,alomts everything!
