Pros: Excellent interface, lots of variety, addictive
Cons: Too much town micromanagement, sometimes too addictive
One day, I found a CD with the Age of Empires II (AOE2) demo on it, so, being bored, I decided to give it a try. Thus began a good two months which consisted of eating, sleeping and playing AOE2, and not much else. This game is addictive, with a...

Pros: Excellent real time strategy gameplay.
Cons: Long games, very difficult computer opponents.
Age of Empires 2, "The Age of Kings", is my favorite real time strategy game. It isn't as fast as Command & Conquer (or Red Alert 2), but it definitely has more strategy, better play balance, and a smoother interface.
You have 13 races to...

Pros: Addictive, fast paced game play that will keep you coming back for more
Cons: Maybe too focused on fighting battles - where does strategy come in?
"Age of Empires II -The Age of Kings" by Microsoft/Ensemble Studios is a real time strategy game a bit out of the ordinary. This fast paced game lets you, the player, to be the king of a small medieval empire. You start off by carving...

Pros: Great graphics and sound, Lots of Fun
Cons: Too much fun? Memory hog
Age of Kings is basically, the same game as AOE but with much better graphics and sound. It has several different multi-player options with a variety of connections including a free internet site. If you ever need a game you can always go to the site...

Pros: Great Addictive Gameplay
Cons: Needs more voices
I wasn’t expecting to write game reviews since I play very little games. I was going with the “Stick to what you know” philosophy of Epinions, but last week I was invited to participate in a “Network Game” where we played Age of Empires and...

Pros: Fun; Realistic; Good Graphics
Cons: Nothing Really
Age of Empires 2 is so much better than the first. Not only does AOE 2 (Age of Empires 2) have castles, but it is more realistic. When someone shoots an arrow and it doesn't hit anything but the ground, it sticks into the ground. And when something goes...

Pros: graphics, music, map editor, multiplayer, computer ai, REPLAY
Cons: unbalanced civilizations, campaigns
In the world of RTS, if you call yourself King, you gotta fight the heavyweight champ, Blizzard's "StarCraft" and "StarCraft: BroodWars." And "Age of Empires II: Age of Kings" just doesn't have what it takes to make a champ.
I enjoyed playing...

Pros: Excellent graphical Improvements - Large, detailed and colourful. Excellent speech
Cons: Sound effects a little sparse. Few really amazing advances from AOE1.
Many of the reviews of Age Of Empires 2 - The Age Of Kings I have read over the last few days seem to spend much of the review comparing the game to other real time strategy games, usually rounding off their commentary with something like...

Pros: GREAT!!! game play, fun sounds. Good sounds and good graphics A+ game.
Cons: Just a craving to keep playing it!
RTS, the logical answer would be Real Time Strategy. AoK (age of kings) is not quite right for the title of RTS. It is a total mind blow out what can be done. Each time something new, over and over. This game has brought me to realize there is a future...

Pros: Good when you first start.
Cons: Overated!
The first impression Age of Empires 2 makes on you is "what a great game". This actually begins before you even play it. On the box it says "you have 1000 years to lead your people through the middle ages to greatness [...] conquer the world through...

Pros: Tough to win!
Cons: Tough to win!
My wife is a nag. Seriously. But before anyone becomes offended, let me explain how this is a good thing. My wife and I enjoy going to a local, well known electronics and media superstore. I am not a shopper, per se, but I love media. I am a media...

Pros: Easy to learn, easy to play, can save multiplayer games, new civilizations
Cons: Internet multiplayer games lag and disconnect
This game is a sequel to the ever popular "Age of Empires" or AOE as referred to by the players of the game. "Age of Kings" is very similar to AOE but has new features and new civilizations to conquer.
This new game has...
