Summary: Great war game
Review: This is a wonderful game, you can choose who you are and which map you want to be on, there are different levels and campaigns in which you conquer people with Gendhis Khan and there is even a beginers campaign to learn how to play. When you play the game time fly's. I think this is a great game.

Summary: You should be ashamed of yourself if you don't own this game
Review: There are times in the gaming industry that a certain game will come along and reshape the way we think about how that genre is played. StarCraft did this for RTS. And AOE II expanded on the trusted design of that and made a game that is historically accurate, fun to play, completely balanced, and free of bugs (which is all-too-common in games today).You can choose one of 13 civilizations to play in a skirmish. Or you can play King of the Hill. Or you can play Fortress. Or you can play...I think you get the point. There are tons of options for single player game play. And the historically accurate missions follow the lives, trials and battles of William Wallace, Joan of Arc, Ghengas Khan, Barbarosa, and Saladin. While these campaigns are somewhat static and "rail," they are engrossing and interesting. All 13 civilzations are wonderfully balanced. Unique units for each are an especially nice touch. And the ages that you advance through provide a new element of strategy (for instance, you will never even consider attacking with the Turks in the early stages because of their advantange in the later stages; likewise, the Britons and Persians are ideal for a quick win because of their advantages in earlier ages. Once you advance with them, you'll find that they don't have the "strength" needed to pull ahead, though I have devised numerous strategies for the Britions that will allow victory in the late ages). Overall, one of the best games ever. You are without excuse to not own this game. Even non-RTS fans will enjoy it.

Summary: AOE 2 a good pleaser but average with out the expansion
Review: This is a great game for playing over and over. Gameplay:4 stars
It has some really great stuff in it (play to find out!!)Expansion (conquerors) makes it a hell of a lot better too. Graphics:4 stars
Good graphics that can only be matched by much newer games. Sound and Music affects:4.5 stars
Has some realistic sounding music and sound, as well as a lot of voice effects in the campaigns Campaign/storyline:4.5 stars
Makes History somewhat enjoyable and fascinating, while also educating. Well-made. Replayability/Lastability:5 stars
A game which you can play over and over, or you can leave for a while then play later which also makes it very enjoyable. Overall:4 stars
Good, but a heap better with the expansion. (some of the original design that they changed or removed was better though)

Summary: WAY FUN!
Review: THIS GAME REALLY PULLS YOU IN AND NEVER LETS GO!
THE GRAPHICS ARE INCREDIBLE, THE WHOLE GAME IS JUST AMAZING.
YOU ARE ABLE TO CHOOSE WHERE IN THE WORLD YOU WISH TO BE, WHO YOU WANT TO BE, AND WHAT YOU WANT TO BUILD, AND WHERE YOU WANT TO BUILD IT.
AWESOME!

Summary: Great sequal to the original
Review: To keep things brief, if you liked the first you'll like this one. It keeps the tried and true formula from Age of Empires and transitions it over into a great sequel. This game is very easy to pick up and play if you take a few minutes to learn the trades of the game.

Summary: All I can say is wow
Review: This one of the best games I have ever played. I was blown away by it. The AI the grafics and the fun. You can do almost anything for farm to battle. If you like war craft or star war galactic battle grounds you will like this. This is truly the best game I have ever play.

Summary: Great Strategy Game
Review: It's a LOT like the first game, which was great. But I would have preferred if we had been given more technologies to research. All the discovery seems to be over a bit too quick before each game boils down to the standard 'smash the enemy to pieces' part. In this respect it game become quite repetitive, especially when you consider how long it takes to get a good game going. The only alternative is to try out different civilisations. And only then it's just the architecture that's different. I do like this game a lot but I just wish for a bit more diversity and more surprises in the next one (as in Age of Empires 3, not Age of Mythology). I've not played the expansion pack yet but if it gives us more to work with then I'll definitely check it out.

Summary: GREATEST GAME EVER
Review: All of you idiots who claim that game has no strategy or is too hard are idiots. OK, I admit the single player modes get boring after a while, but playing online with other humans is GREAT! The first time I went there, I got my ass kicked, but I learned several different ways to start the game. Once you play a few more times, u learn that there are even more ways. In fact, there are countless ways you can play this game from beginning to end! And every time you go online to play, you get different, unique allies and enemies. Also, whoever says that there isn't any difference in the civilizations is also stupid. Your probably playing the game with all techs on, which makes it several times more dull. Without all techs on, each civilization gets different technologies and different technologies not available to them. There are also many types of specialties each civilizations that shape the way a good player uses them. So what are you waiting for, buy the game! its absolutely one of the best games ever created!

Summary: The one, the only, the classic...
Review: I am now buying AOK for the third time. Two times have I bought it, two times have I thrown it away in disgusted fury at not being able to get anything else done due to the marvelously addictive game play. When will I learn? Probably never. This is just one of the great all time games you can ever play on your computer, period.
