// \\GE OF EMPIRES: GOLD \\
====================================//A great game that will last you a long
time, I think this is good for beginners
and has plenty of options. It is a great
game with plenty of units and stuff. It
has different countries and things like
that. It will last you for ages because
of the huge campaigns and stuff it also
is quite addictive,especially with the
cheats. You have to do things like: Forage
for berries, hunt animals, mine gold and stone
and also trade items to build your city up. You
can upgrade weapons and things like that. You
can build walls and watchtowers to keep intruders
out and so on... I reccommend this to anyone who
likes Real Time Strategy. 9.5/10 :)

Summary: It's Fun to Reign Supreme
Review: Age of Empires Gold is a good game. It includes Age of Empires I and the Expansion Pack, Rise of Rome. I play the expansion pack a lot because if you've ever played Age of Empires and created a villager or military unit, you have to wait for it to finish before you can created another one. In the expansion, however, you can queue it up, so you can keep clicking the villager button, for example, four times, and it will make four villagers. But it's not worth getting if you have another Age of Empires game.

Summary: Age of Empires: Microsoft's best series
Review: Age of Empires is an excellent strategy game for all who like strategy games. The gameplay is great, the graphics and sounds are stunning, and the city building and troop training will keep you entertained for months. It allows you to play campaigns, which are actually not superb, but its random map ability allows you to have a showdown that's different every time-a very uniquely good ability that actually never makes the game old. You can also build your own map and campaigns as well. You can even play others via the net, which is another fatcor which will allow you to play for months. If you like this game, I would also reccommend that you buy Age II: The Age of Kings. I think that Age of Empires was near perfect-thus Microsoft fixed all of its errors and made Age II, which is perfect. Thus, I highly recommend Age of Empires, and only a fool wouldn't get it with the expansion (in the Golden Edition), because it only improves on it.

Summary: Very addictive, despite many flaws
Review: As someone who generally prefers abstract turn-based strategy games (I disliked Warcraft), I did not expect to be terribly pleased by Age of Empires when buying it two years ago. However, my expectations were quickly surpassed by this engrossing game. Just building cities and fortresses and amassing armies is a pleasure with the richly detailed visual art. Don't expect a very accurate treatment of ancient battle tactics or weaponry--the infamous "helepolis" unit can slaughter waves of advancing cavalry as efficiently as any modern machine gun, even if historically it was only used in a handful of sieges--but this game still tests your intelligence (lightning-fast mouse operating also helps) and creative abilities. You must also fine-tune resource management and supervise large numbers of villagers; economic considerations are in many instances more important than military. The wide range of civilizations is one of the best features--from Phoenicians to the Yamato empire of Japan, with distinct architecture to match (!), and there are four campaigns which loosely trace the development of the Greek, Babylonian, Egyptian, and Yamato peoples. Now for the flaws: 1. The game has very little actual depth. Death matches and random map scenarios are for the most part mindless exercises in fast mouse-clicking and cheap "rushing" strategies. 2. The AI is generally stupid. This helps you when you're playing on the easy levels, and frustrates you to no end when you're trying to extricate endangered units from rough terrain. You'll often have to personally guide them through obstacles step by step. 3. Simple, but glaring, oversights by the designers...too numerous to list, but for one, farms double as walls, since they're impassable.

Summary: First there was goodness, then greatness.
Review: Coming on the heels of games like Warcraft and Starcraft my inital reaction to Age of Empires was "Give me a break, not another Microsoft wannabe" but after actually trying the game, I ate crow. Age of empires in itself is a truly challenging and enjoyable game, good for hours upon hours of building and fighting and building. This is a tacticians game if there ever was one. The attention to detail in this game has proven to be amazing for it's time, the layout of the menus and the overall game system very intuitative and easy to use. Take that legend of a game and follow it up with the expansion set, "The Rise of Rome" where all the little annoying features are worked out and you are given more races, more deversity and greater challenge. One of the few pieces of MS software I can safely and proudly recomend. This game is a must have. Don't cheat yourself by buying Age Of Empires II, this game is the perfect prelude and well worth the time invested into game play.

Summary: Yuck
Review: First of all, The historical accuracy of the game is laughable. The missions are semi impossible. I hope that aoe2 is better done. Strategic this is not. Swarming your enemy with the best troups you can. Not at all what I had expected when I first heard about. Just about the only good thing about this game was the way soldiers look. I love the middle ages but this dumb attempt is laughable. For example, one centurion can knock out a war elephant. Give me a break. Another example is that the helepolis loads extremely fast. Impossible. What a helepolis was was a giant crossbow. If you have even a rudimentary knowledge of the medieval times you would know even crossbows were extremely slow to reload. Then you get this big helepolis that fires like a machine gun, come on.
