Pros: Good graphics, sound, gameplay Cons: Doesn't distinguish itself
I've been hooked on real-time strategy war games since years back when my Amiga was running Dune 2000 for many hours a day. Past addictions include StarCraft, the original Age of Empires, Lords of the Realm, and others. The basic idea behind all these...

Pros: a lot of heroes, great graphics, new buildings and units Cons: corny intro, sloppy main menu
I recently purchased Age of Empires 2: Age of kings. The great graphics of the original are eclipsed by the state of the art units in AOK.
The game starts with a stupid intro which depicts to people playing chess. the chess game flashes to scenes...

Pros: history lessons Cons: boring . . .
This is Microsofts second real time strategy game. I didn't really like Age of Empires 1 very much compared to Warcraft or Starcraft but I decided to give Age of Empires 2 a try because I like real time strategy games. However, I disliked AOE2 for the...

Pros: Almost Completely Mouse-Controlled, Exciting, Good Graphics Cons: Somewhat Slow-Paced at Times
Age of Empires II (Gold Edition) is an excellent strategy game for the PC. You get to choose your civilization, then get out there and build a town, defend it, and attack other towns. The goal is wipe out the other civilizations so you rule the world. ...

Pros: Great graphics, a lot of features, and worth the money. Cons: To get the full impact, need a fast computer.
We purchased Age of Empires Age of Kings right after it came out. We are big buffs on computer games, especially this one. We loved Age of Empires and The Rise of Rome. We saw that they were making a Age of Kings and had to have it.
We...

Pros: Very addicting , Internet play, fun. Cons: so-so graphics
Ready to go Medevial!
When I first got Age of Empires 1 I really had not expected much from Microsoft, but it ruled all, so when Age of Empires 2 came running to buy it! I now expected a lot from Microsoft, and it deliverd. Age of Empires 2...

Pros: Great Graphics, Better Control Cons: Need to much gold!
Definitely a game to buy! In fact we have two copies of the game so we can play this game networked on our computers!
In Age of Kings you build a civilization by making villagers, buildings and armies. You can assign villagers to do...

Pros: Detailed strategic controls. Cons: AI could be better at times.
Troops can be garrisoned:
Since having AoE2, I've gone back and played some WarCraft2 and StarCraft, and I always start missing all the extra features that AoE2 offers. Especially when someone starts hacking my peasants to pieces; I want to...

Pros: Wonderful Graphics, cute villagers, interesting to hear them speak their own language Cons: Needs more buildings
Many people have always wondered how it would be like to control a civilization, build a strong army, and conquer at all the same time. Well fans, this wondering has turned into an amazing game.
The fact that the villagers can speak their own...

Pros: Realistic, beautiful graphics, excellent gameplay Cons: Some well-developed aspects of the game get wasted in the long run
Age of Empires II: The Conflict Continues
...and continues, and continues. Why does every other clan always build a military building right next to me at the very beginning of the game? Don't they have better things to spend resources...

Pros: Entertaining and Challenging Cons: Addictive (LOL!)
Previously, I considered myself a computer-game hater. Then, I received this as a gift. I was extremely bored one day, and decided I had nothing better to do, so I might as well give it a try. Boy was I surprised! This game is great!
The...

Pros: everything Cons: limited units in custom map
Age of Kings is one of those sequels that actually surpassed its predecessor age of empires. This game is truly a remake of history that allows you to actually control the ongoing events for 13 civilizations. Their fate lies in your strategic plays....

Pros: lots of fun, addicting, amazing graphics Cons: takes alot of ram
I've never really gotten into war games, or games whose only real purpose was kill the enemy, but oddly enough, I've gotten almost addicted to this one. We bought it for my friend’s boyfriend for a birthday gift, I just got interested first in watching,...
