Pros: Rivals the best!
Cons: Map editor is a bit weak.
I recently went to the store and picked out this game to play. When I first bought it I was under the impression that it was a game similar to the computer version of Civilization. As it turns out it more or less resembles Warcraft, except that it...

Pros: Groundbreaking details for a game like this! New technologies
Cons: Very difficult to win on easiest. More detail brings buildings that are too large and take up to much space.
The one thing that I said in my review about the First Age of Empires game was that major changes needed to happen between this game and the second Age of Empires. Well, folks, my prayers were answered, but were too many changes made?
The...

Pros: Everything!
Cons: None!
For my money, this is the finest strategy game on the market. The balance of the various kingdoms is far better than in the original, with all empires having serious strengths and equally devastating weaknesses. One must learn the value of combining...

Pros: Great graphics, terrain & mission editor, and awesome multiplayer engine.
Cons: I wish it went into the Industrial Revolution with hi-tech weapons, planes, etc.
Microsoft's Age of Empires is a great game about building a civilization from a small campfire, to a castle with rock solid walls with dozens of civilians running around doing their tasks and military men ready for battle.
Age of Empires II...

Pros: Many more new things to discover.
Cons: Units aren't as intelligent as they should be.
I have seen Age of Empires II (AoE-II) in stores for a few months, but when I saw a mail-in rebate that put my final cost to $20, I had to grab it. I have AoE-I, and I like it a lot, so I had high expectations for AoE-II, and I was not disappointed.

Pros: Great single player and multi player, nice graphics, good sounds, great tech tree, many units
Cons: can take 2-3+ hours for one match
AOE 2 is almost a totally different game compared to the first one. The technology tree is 3x bigger and there are a lot more buildings/units to choose from. Multiplayer is great with virtually no lag and MANY hours of fun. In single player, you can...

Pros: Many civilizations, Different Ages, Single and multiplayer capabilities, Fun strategic game, Never gets boring
Cons: Internet play tends to lag, Hard to keep track of everything at once
Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings expands on the original Age of Empires. This sequel takes place after the original, after the fall of Rome. Your objective: to lead your civilization out of the Dark Age and to conquer the world.
Age of...

Pros: A lot of civilizations (with their own unique units) to choose from
Cons: Predictable AI interaction
I really enjoy playing real-time strategy games with my friends because you don't have to wait to take turns and the game play is more accurate. Some of the games I have played include Command & Conquer, Warcraft II, Total Annihilation, and...

Pros: Quality Graphics, Attention to Detail
Cons: Nothing
At first glance, Age of Empire’s 2 (AofE 2) looks almost exactly the same as its predecessor. But when you really get into it, AofE 2 is a great sequel that improves and introduces many new and cool concepts.
Game aspects that influenced my...

Pros: Good graphics, isn't a bad game
Cons: Not as good as Red Alert or Civilisation
I recently got a new PC, and after hearing all the good reviews of Age of Empires 2 I rushed out to buy it. Frankly I have to say I am a little disappointed. The game is an all-encompassing strategy game, which requires you to build a village, collects,...

Pros: great gameplay, and protection (walls, castles)
Cons: Units are almost the same in all civilization
Age of Empires II, Age of Kings, is a complex, yet entertaining stratedgy game. I have not played Age of Empires I, but I can say this game is addicting.
Age of Empires is similar to Warcraft, but a lot better. You may build walls with...

Pros: Holds the attention, great graphics
Cons: You will never get to use your computer again once that first game is played
I use the internet to help pay our family bills. I have a schedule I keep to so I can get all my different rewards programs done each day. Well, I used to anyway. Now I have Age of Empires II: Age of Kings on my computer and a husband standing behind...

Pros: the evergreen best strategy game
Cons: highly addictive
BEWARE!! The English are attacking you, wear your Armour’s and get ready for the brutal battle against fate. Something like this you are going to hear or see while playing the age of kings.
Nowadays as the market of software’s is flooded with...
