Rating:
Summary: the coolest pc game ever
Review: It was great it kept me in front of the computer for hours it is so much fun

Rating:
Summary: Great when it came out
Review: Just because I only gave the game 3 stars doesn't mean this is a bad game, on the contrary, I LOVE this game, the only problem is with age of empires 2 and age of mythology out, I find it hard to go back and get the original, but it definatly is a fun rts and extremly user friendly at that (not overwheelming like some rts's start out) recommened for beginner rts fans but I'd buy the second one or age of mythology before this game. If you get this game, do yourself the favor of getting the gold edition with everything together.

Summary: AOE is the best!!!!
Review: Okay, so when you get age of empires, it takes a second to figure out what all you should do. But when you do figure it out it is an awsome game. You make your villagers forage, mine, chop down trees, hunt, and farm until you have enough supplies to make your tribe into a flourishing empire.

Summary: Pure fun.
Review: Some people may find the singleplayer option tedious and boring after a while, but I personally find it the best aspect of the game. When you don't want to wring your brain dry with the multiplayer option, you can spend a few mindless hours killing antelope and gazelle. You can kill citizens of your little kingdom. I don't advise it though. You have to pay for your citizens, in meat, gold or wood.After a few thousand years, your people 'evolve'. Then life gets harder. After a few millenia, whichever civilization finished their wonder first wins. It is usually the Romans. They can build really fast.All in all, it is a very fun, challenging gave that you won't get bored of easily. I give it 10 stars out of 5!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Perfect
Review: The Age of Empires, Age of Kings, Age of Mythology series is definitely the best ever sires of real time strategy games. In all versions of the game you are allowed to control both the armies and economies of your nation. You can build buildings, creature soldiers or peasants, even priests. Your peasants you command to do the different menial tasks such as farming, mining, and building castles. While your armies roam the land either defending your peasants, sieging enemy castles, or raiding their peasants. Priest have the power to convert both peasants and soldiers. If you like being king of the world, this is for you. Finally, I just want to differentiate between the games. Age of Empires is the oldest of the games and should run on any computer, but I wouldn't recommend the game without either the Rise of Rome Expansion Pack or just buying the Age of Empires Gold Edition. These two correct many problems with the original Age of Empires. Next game up the latter for medium computers is Age of Kings (that's what I'm still playing.) It can run on just about any computer with sixty four megs of ram and a two hundred megahertz processor. I use it on a five hundred megahertz and a one point four gigahertz. Next game up is the Age of Mythology. This introduces a whole new realm of playing to the sires. This one you civilization chooses different gods to worship and is given power from them. Unfortunately you only get two really spectacular god powers each game and you can only use them once, but then it keeps the game to more strategy and less luck and wildcards. (It is fun to get the wildcards when you have them though!) This game should have a processor of I would say at least a six hundred and a graphics card at least thirty two megabytes; and lastly this is not the game for everybody. I still use Age of Kings/Conquerors not because of my computer, but because I don't like all the crazy stuff in Mythology; I think it distracts from the medieval battle tactics. Really choosing between Mythology and Age of Kings is just a matter of personal opinion. I'd say download both demos and try them both; or if you have the money to blow, buy them both. Either way I think you'll love both of them. Well that's all for me. This is just a general over view don't take my words as gold check out the specs and requirements yourself. I just wanted to help point you in the right direction.

Summary: Addictive, nice graphics, but mostly impossible to "win" at
Review: The first 6 times I played this game was enjoyable...even though I never was "victorious" even at the "easiest" difficulty level. But, being a patient, tenacious, and fairly intelligent person I just KNEW that I'd be victorious sooner or later, so I kept playing. After a dozen more times I was only able to "win" once. If you buy this game, I'd recommend playing it online with other humans. Because trying to win in the single-player mode is practically impossible.

Summary: This product was incredibly boring
Review: There were not that many campaigns; some were way too hard and some were way too easy. The units were incredibly stupid, because whenever I sent boats somewhere they kept getting stuck in harbors, and the land units that I sent anywhere kept getting stuck behind allies' walls and allies' units kept bunching up and stopped me from moving anywhere. Once you've played all the campaigns, whether you win or lose, the game becomes incredibly boring. There were not that many new campaigns in the Rise of Rome. I suggest that people should buy Age of Empires 2 rather than this game.

Summary: Excellent; outstanding; great fun
Review: This action packed game is fun for both adult and child. Brining back the mideval times is a great idea for a video game. I have bought age of empires 2 and expansion and that was great as well. In my opinion this game is more challenging than the second. This game is full of action, warfare, and fun. For you reader reading this I give this game 5 stars. For the parents as well as the children, this game is a keeper
