Summary: The World's Greatest Strategy Game
Review: Age of Empires 2 is a historical war game with over 10 civilisations to choose from. It comes complete with scenarios, different types of maps, ect...*NOTE: Using the Cheat Codes really makes the game boring quicker. I recommend trying all the scenarios without cheats to develop your diplomacy skills. There are so many things you can do that it seems almost impossible to become boring. The Graphics were awesome but when battles orrur involving MANY people, it tends to temporarily freeze. The Peasants are absolutely retarted(unless you get the expansion aswell). If you enjoyed Age Of Empires, you will have a ball playing this one. Good luck on your scenarios!

Summary: Great Game!
Review: This game is an ultimate best-buy! You need to use brutal combat and strategy to conquer the world, or protect the king. With the birds-eye view of the field, you can command and conquer with your young troops in all the Ancient Ages with all the ancient civilizations. The graphics are outstanding. The only setback to the game is the time. Otherwise, this is an addictive must-get!

Summary: Never Dies
Review: This is a real game. If you ever get tired of a game because it's always the same thing over and over. Well finally you have a game that never repeats itself. The random map games are never the same because they generated every time you click go. Plus there are several different ways to mix the game up and make real easy or real difficult. Trust me you will be playing this game untill your computer overheats.

Summary: This is the worst Real Time Strategy Game Ever Made!
Review: Microsoft is the worst operating system ever. MACINTOSH is more efficent! Don't buy this product! It keeps saying Direct X error. It won't ever run! I would stick with Warcraft, not Ages of Empiers II. My advice would be to buy Warcraft III, when it comes out!

Summary: A classic!
Review: This is by far one of the best real-time strategy games available. The game style is superbly unique, and even shames the classic "Warcraft II". The many different types of units, buildings, and technologies makes the game very interesting for a long period of time, and the difficulty of the missions makes this a game that will remain on your hard drive for at least several months are you purchase it. Even the experienced gamer will find "Age of Empires II" difficult, and the newbie will probably be at it for quite some time. I played most of the missions on the "easiest" setting, and they were still quite challenging and addictive. You have several various options within the game. First, you can play tour of duty campaigns in which you play as various civilizations (The Celts and Franks to name a few) against different kind of enemies. These missions are generally the most difficult part of the game, and most have you at them for hours before you finally come out the victor. The other two sections of the game are multiplayer (which you can play over a network or on the internet) and custom campaigns which let you play against the computer in a multiplayer style gaming environment. In this type of game, you get to pick any one of the 14 different civilizations to be, all of which have unique strengths and weaknesses. It's quite fun to go through each civilization researching new weapons and upgrades to see which fits you the best. Even though "Age of Empires II" is beginning to be dated, the game is still excellent and worth the money. This will be one to go down as a "classic", very similar to "Warcraft II". A definite buy.

Summary: The Best Game Microsoft has made
Review: When i first got this game all my friends said it was horrible, but they were wrong. I was hooked to it, and when I should have been doing important things, I was playing this game. Everything goes into detail so you can really do what you feel is neccesary to build an empire!

Summary: Not what I thought BUT...
Review: I'm an avid Caesar III/Pharaoh player so when I picked this game up, that's what I thought I was getting myself into - city building in a variety of lands/cultures. Little did I know that I was purchasing a strategy game! I love it though, I just had to teach myself how to fight smart! In the other games, combat is kind of a side addition to building your city. In this game, it's an integral part if you want to succeed. I like the fact that you can start at different points in time and that you can choose from a variety of cultures. I like the fact that you can make your entire game random or you can choose every facet of the game environment. In addition to starting a city from the bottom up, you can be a part of 1 of 5 campaigns and you aren't just thrown into a campaign anywhere. The game developers give you lots of information and good starting points to help you get oriented in a specific campaign. Overall, this game is awesome. Like I said, if you are Caesar or Pharaoh minded you will just have to reorient your thinking a little bit, but it's definitely worth it!

Summary: Wow! A lot more than expected!
Review: I recently borrowed this game from my freind thinking it was going to be a boring warcraft/starcraft wannabe what I got was even better than I expected! There are 13 races to choose from each with different characters and buildings so they is unlimited gameplay. Sometimes the battles can be difficult and frustrating but you always find yourself coming back for more. The greatest Strategy game of all time. Period. With no doubt!
