Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings for Windows

Pros: The graphics and sounds.
Cons: Some of the features are a little difficult to get used to.

Age of Empire's II, the Age of King's is much better than the 1st. The graphics are better, the sound is better, and the game itself is better! I really like it a lot! Some of the features are a little bit harder to master, but for the most part it is...

Pros: Graphics, sound, gameplay
Cons: GAMES TAKE WAY TOO LONG

As you can tell, by the front of the picture, .. you see many kings. These kings represent different countries, (if you havent already played it). This game, is a simple war C&C style game. You really dont have to worry about an econemy. You just...

Pros: Improved A.I. Great graphics!
Cons: Enemies ALWAYS gang up on you

When I picked up the original Age of Empires it was my first experience with real time strategy games. Before then I had been hooked on turn based strategy games like civilization. I loved the first Age of empires, but there were some obvious problems....

Pros: Grabs you, good graphics
Cons: Needs more gameplay detail

I have played the previous games in the series. This one is an improvement. I was kind of hoping to be have more detail in government, for example, having advisers for each branch of government; and the King is available in all campaigns not just...

Pros: Graphics, storylines, variety, many options
Cons: Some computers have a hard time handeling it when there's a lot of buildings and/or people.

My friend once came over to my house and loaded Age of Empires on my computer and showed me how to play, and I loved it. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to play it again cause he had the cd. During Christmas time I got tons of gift certificates and bought...

Pros: Hours of fun
Cons: Not a whole lot different that AOE

I really like this game but was also disapointed with it. The first Age of Empires is one of my favorite games ever. I could hardly wait for AOE II. The graphics are improved, more units, many unique to certain civs. Castles, trebuchets, and other...

Pros: New Units Better Graphics
Cons: bit expensive

This game is a HUGE improvement over Age of Empires and Age of Empires Expansion. Which were really great games. Problems with Age of Empires was that the troops tended to be a little stupid. The would run off and get killed
when you wanted them...

Pros: Beautiful graphics, much improve AI and pathfinding of units
Cons: Most opponents are overly aggressive so that if you are on the same land mass, you get overrun early.

Your people are quietly going about their daily lives...chopping wood, picking berries, farming, mining gold and rock, fishing...when suddenly, a warning bell sounds the alarm of an enemy approach. Your peasants rush to the town hall for protection...

Pros: graphics, history, replay
Cons: limits on soldier creation

This game can be summed up in one word "Beautiful". The graphics are awesome, and the game play is wonderful. In my opinion, some parts are a bit difficult but that makes the game better. The stories behind the campaigns are so historically...

Pros: Faster, easier to learn
Cons: Too Big of Buildings

When I played this game for the first time I literally couldn't get up from the computer. I loved how it let you learn your way into the game with the William Wallace starter. It was much more fun to play with all of the new soldiers, and weapons you...

Pros: Graphics, features, New units
Cons: none

I got this game as a present from a friend of mine, and I thought it looked cool so I loaded it. The setup was a breeze, and I got to the game immediatley. Being an AOE (Age of Empires) Original player I went straight to what was most framiliar to me,...

Pros: excellent interface, fun & easy to use.
Cons: can be expensive

An excellent continuation of the Age of Empires series. Microsoft has continued its standards in excellent computer gaming. For people who love strategy type games with a certain amount of historical accuracy, this game is for you. Sound and graphics...

Pros: Depth, Ease of use, Graphics, Animation, Balance
Cons: Tough on anything but the 2 easy levels

Real Time Strategy games took off right after the enormous successes of Warcraft II and Command and Conquer. During that period when everybody was jumping onto the bandwagon, Microsoft put out Age of Empires. And, unlike many of the other RTS games, it...

Pros: Do not forget to go to see it
Cons: If you like AOE then you must try this 2nd chapter

Age of Empires II: Age of Kings is the sequel to the award-winning, best selling strategy game of 1997: Age of Empires. (An expansion pack entitled The Rise of Rome was released the following year.) Because it is a sequel, you'll find many features that...

Pros: Good graphics, computer very smart
Cons: would like to see more civilizations

When I first heard of Age of Kings I was somewhat skeptical on how good it could be. I didn't want to play it but when someone let me play it on their computer I was hooked right from the start. The portrayal of ancient civilizations is quite accurate...
