Summary: Problems
Review: At first the game was great I had lots of fun. But then, the computer players in every game I played started to surender. I put it on the hardest level and was the weakest civilization possible, and they still surendered.It takes about two minutes, by that time im still in the feudal age. Now I don't play the game anymore.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Program
Review: I get a chance to play games only once in awhile, but this is a great game. I really enjoy coming back to try it again and again. I would recommend it to anyone who likes the previous civilization games.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Superb
Review: I love Age of Empires 2. It is a warfare game mixed with a little bit of strategy, and a great base. The building selection is huge to say the least. It also mixes some historical features into the game, such as leading Joan of Arc to her fame. You are able to pick from 12 different civilizations, British, Chinese and many more. Another good point of this game is that every civilization has their own unique unit to recruit. The gameplay is great. Keeps me playing for hours. Graphics are nice. No drawbacks to this game, that's why I gave it five stars.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cool Game if you like RTS games
Review: AOE2 is one of the best on its genre, still is so damn popular on the multizone, no matter if you play the solo missions or the standard games you will get a thrill. As always it's an excellent companion to many of our "lonely nights". Maybe the only thing is on the multiplayer option which is sometimes a little bit complicated. Anyway, this game is a must for your collection.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Strategy
Review: Great Storyline, Great Visuals, Great gameplay. The AI is fairly smart and pretty ruthless. The expansion pack is good too, but the units of the new and the old sometimes don't mesh very well- Mounted Conquistadors with Guns can generally slaughter basic tribal archers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great game
Review: This is a must have game, it is the best strategy game I have ever played, I recomend it to any strategy gamer, you'll like it.

Summary: Boring Repetitive, Many flaws
Review: If I could give this less than 1 star, I would! When I started playing this game I thought this is awesome, then I saw the truth. The cities that you create are all the same, housing for the servants, military buildings, your wonder, university and blacksmith, all so simular to the enemy. They own all the same buildings and the people act as stupid as ants. When you attack a town, they just continue their work. The enemy's towns even look simular to all the other towns. The whole empire you build is based on war, and nothing else. You send your villagers to mine, and collect wood to fuel the war machine. They could have included many more ideals of the other Simulation games, like SimCity. Far too much about invading and killing the armies that are limited to 40-50 soldiers/seige warfare. When you can build up to 200 troops if you will and nothing can stop you from totally overrunning their cities, with an ensured victory. The limit is 200 in your population, and it should be 500 at least. 200 is not hardly enough! Plus, Always daylight, no season changes, the oak trees are green as if they are conifers. As well all the enemies are friends, NEVER do they attack each other! That is so stupid! It's all made against you. Everything is limited, so all their is, is war. Same neighbors that throw at most 15 troops in line at you. The buildings are all the same, no non-war related buildings, no museums, no stadiums, no civilians that aren't doing anything but slavery for the war machine.

Pros:
-Passes time

Cons:
-If you don't have a pacifer in your mouth this game isn't for you.

-If you aren't robo-tripping this isn't the game for you.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Lots of Fun
Review: If you've ever fancied yourself as William Wallace or have a carefully hidden Attila the Hun fantasy this game is for you. I've had the game for several months and I've had loads of fun conquering the world. The graphics are great, the units are interesting and fun to watch and the game play is well paced.

However, despite these great pros AOK suffers from some minor cons. Those of you who wish to test your battle strategies in the dead of winter will be disappointed. Seasons don't exist in the world of AOK. You'll charge into battle around midday in the middle of summer...always. The trees your villagers cut down don't grow back and the animals you kill don't reappear. In short the world of AOK while populated with living creatures still some how seems flat.

Minor cons? Yes. What would I have preferred? More headaches, more problems. In many instances all I had to do was gather enough resources to defend myself from my "external" enemies. What about the internal threats? Civil unrest, or natural disasters. Hmmmm. Fortunately the upcoming Age of Mythology appears to have fixed a few of these minor cons.

Summary:Buy the game. You'll enjoy it. I did.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A fitting sequel to the original AOE
Review: The first time I came into contact with the original AOE I was hooked permanately. So one day I got fed up with all my other games and was browsing when low and behold I saw it, shining like some knight in in armor to get rid of my boredom, by the way there was a knight on the cover, which might explain the picture in my mind. Anyways I managed to get the nessacary $... bucks[hey i'm 13 and don't get allowance and hardly any paying jobs so that says alot for the attraction I had] and installed it on my ancient pentium. it worked but just barely so i ended up playing the game in the lowest quality graphics and the screen skipping everey 5 seconds or so. I loved it i finnally beat the game and resolved to put the game away but i just couldn't do it the regicide and random map games kept me comin' back for more. one year later i and i'm still enjoyin' th e darn thing. the graphics are superb and the sound is also excellent. the missions are appropiatly hard and enjoyable. overall the game is worth every cent.
