Summary: Complex but flawed
Review: Generally, I enjoy complex civilisation simulations, but this one didn't really impress me. The battle AI wasn't too bad compared to some strategy games, but the real-time aspect of it meant too often your own soldiers (or peasants) tended to wander off on their own (usually getting themselves killed in the process). Once soldiers are deployed, there's no easy way to recall them, especially if they're scattered all over the civilisation--I generally had to resort to highlighting each one and giving him a rallying point far behind the lines (I've heard that the upgrade fixes some of this, but I haven't tried it). This was hampered by the relatively small viewing window (if the designers had gone with less-detailed units and had the "camera" view a larger map area, players could do a lot more). The technology tree was fantastic, but unfortunately there didn't seem to be that much differentiation in buildings/technologies between civilisations (one European hovel looks very much like another, etc). The campaigns were well-constructed and challenging, and overall you can successfully kill a few afternoons playing this, but I got tired of it relatively quickly. However, with the design improvements I've been hearing about, I'll be interested to play Age of Mythology when it's released.

Summary: More all nighters than I care to admit....
Review: I think of this game as the ultimate toy soldier set that you dreamed of as a kid- only the toys are alive and intelligent. I've literally spent hundreds of hours playing this game , including more all nighters than I care to admit. If you are a military buff this game can become addictive. You can build whole empires here- either from scratch from the stone age, or with fully developed high middle ages technology (which includes gunpowder weapontry.) You have to build up the infrastructure for your empire including farms, fisheries, mines, and timber. Then you have to build workshops and training schools. Only then can you concentrate on the right mix of cavalry, infantry, archers, and artillery. Just the complexity of the castles and walled towns you can build is fascinating. Yet it is never tedious, you really get a feeling that you are actually building up an empire- your empire for your subjects. And every single individual unit is fully and believably animated. A major advantage of Age of Kings over the earlier Age of Empires is that you can order your fighting units into set formations like squares and lines, instead of just sending a mob into battle. The interface here is unbelievable- the "giant" map actually has the feel of a huge extent of territory- enough for a kingdom or an empire. I prefer this as a single player game- the program is smart and relentless enough to keep you constantly on your toes. Just try playing against 7 to 1 odds with no allies if you don't believe me....

Summary: The first game in my game hall of fame
Review: AoK is one of the coolest games of eternity. IT doesnt have that anoying click move, click where you want to move, click attack, click where you want to attack interface that warcraft has and it just whops C&C's boooty. The graphics are decent with interesting detail( you could spend five minutes just looking at one building)and sound is..... OK. Definetly a must buy for the experienced of begiging rts player, and best or all, your mom thinks you learn so much!

Summary: The Age of Empires Returns
Review: I stumbled upon this game about a year or two ago and I strongly recommend it even if you have never experienced a strategy type of game. You are the unseen ruler of one of 13 uinque ancient civilizations. Your objective is to either strive to conquer with a strong military, find and bank three religious relics, or build a wonder to increase the prestige of your civilization. Each time you play you can pick which civ. you want to be, what civ. your enemies and allies are, what objective you are to meet, the difficulty level, the location of your game, how many resources you start out with, and what age ( Dark, Feudal, Feudal, Castle, Umperial) your civ will begin in. Oh, and don't forget about your population limit! But don't think accomplishing this is so easy. Everything has a price to pay in this game and without a large team of villagers to boost the economy, your civilization will not last for long. Even so, a strong, loyal miltary is also needed to defend and protect you at all times. And don't forget, each time you play, more suprises await you. Hold your breath there's more! Along with a general "Random Map" mode comes a few very exciting campaigns where you become Jonah of Arc, Barbarossa, Genghis Khan, William Wallace and more. Oh, boy...more! Although I never have gotten into creating and editing my own scenarios and custom campaigns, that doesnt mean you won't. Taht's right, along with everything else comes a unique feature which allows you to edit pre-made scenarios or cr eate your own. And...if this is your first time with a strategy game a strongly advise you to play the tutorial which (gasp) comes along with the game as well. Keep in mind though that each civilization has it's own pros and cons and each civ. comes with its own unique military unit. And if all of this just isn't enough for you....THAN BUY THE EXPANSION PACK!
