Addictive, swordfighting fun

bySlusy May 1, 2000

Pros Excellent interface, lots of variety, addictive
Cons Too much town micromanagement, sometimes too addictive
Recommended it? Yes

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 capital 'A'.

In some games of this type,... Read full review »

Pros Great Game, great graphics, great strategy!

Wow, this is a GAME!

I have for years been fond of computer role playing games, and games like Civilization and Sim City, and When Age of Empires came out I was sure impressed. When I recently purchased a new PC and I had the system resources to run a very high speed game, I saw that Age... Read full review »

A Complex, Fun Strategy Game

byDavidGriffiths Oct 15, 1999
21 Helpfuls 22 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Complex and challenging, excellent graphics and sound, excellent multiplayer support
Cons Some bugs, steep hardware requirements, may be overly complex for some
Recommended it? Yes

I should say right off that I really never played the original Age of Empires. I was more of a Starcraft player, one of my favorite games of all time. AOE2 may end up sharing that title, however.

The story line of the game is that Rome has collapsed, and everything is up for grabs. You... Read full review »

It is a sophisticated, real-time strategy game, which enables you to build your own kingdom (at the expense of others, of course).

Probably my favorite computer game of all time.  The scenarios are great and very interesting and even the single player fight-the-computer games are nonstop fun.  Very great graphics, sounds, and gameplay  The strategy behind it is great and a wonderful amount of troops.

The king of RTS gaming

byduke_nuker Mar 8, 2001
19 Helpfuls 20 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Superb multiplayer component; excellent AI; good voice acting;
Cons Dated graphics; you are filling Bill Gates'; pockets after all
Recommended it? Yes

Back in early 1999, the second Age of Empires game from Ensemble Studios came out, setting a new standard upon which future RTS games would be judged. Almost two years have passed since then, and looking at the endless piles of overhyped trash reviewers are disgustedly throwing at their garbage... Read full review »

Pros better game play and interface in a new age
Cons not so far
Recommended it? Yes

When I first looked at this game I wondered what the differences were. The graphics have not been completely redone and besides the fact the were new units and it seemed to be placed in a different time period I did not see that much different. I thought this is it! I could get this from a good... Read full review »

Pros It's all good.
Cons Some weird game ending criteria.
Recommended it? Yes

You remember back a few years ago when Microsoft started making games, and you laughed at them? (Oh admit it, you did TOO laugh at them.) Who could forget the epic blockbuster Fury3 which was a shameless "buy and rename" version of Terminal Velocity. (which wasn't even that great in the first... Read full review »
