Summary: Great Historical Simulator
Review: Being a fan of medieval history it is enjoyable to sit down to this game. I love the unique units for each civiliazation. AE2 is a definite improvement over the first. The best being the size ratio of buildings to units and one another. The 5 campaigns featuring some of the most dynamic leaders is an added bonus. This game is a must for history buffs and fans of strategy games.

Summary: My favourite game ever...
Review: I was a fan and avid player of the original Age of Empires, and was looking forward to buying the sequel - Age of Empires II: Age of Kings. To put it simply - this game is one of the best games ever. Thankfully, Microsoft managed to seal the same magic into AOE II as it did into the original, and the 'playability' is endless. The AI has been greatly improved, so for example, the peasants no longer stop when they walk into a clump of forest. I knew that once I bought this game, I would get many hours of game time out of it. Still now, a year after the purchase, I frequently play over 'The Zone' (www.zone.com) with friends back home in British Columbia. I don't consider myself a computer geek by far, but there is just something about this game that brings me back to it again, and again. I just came back from living in Africa for 4 months - and whilst I was over there, I found myself longing for a dual over 'The Zone'!!! Incredible - this game is truly magical - and I'll definitely keep coming back to it for years to come!

Summary: This is one cool game!
Review: I bought this game almost a year ago and it is still keeping me busy! There is so much to do. You can make your own games, you can play on a scenario with famous heroes that lived hundreds of years ago, and you can play with all sorts of different victory conditions. You can trade and make allies and, of course, enemies. Plus you can play online against other players. It's a LOT better than the original game - the graphics and units are a hundred times better, and everything looks and IS more realistic. Plus your units can be organized so that they look more orderly and professional than just being scattered around one another. I like this game enough to have just bought the expansion, so I can have even more fun and get even more surprises!

Summary: Not Prefect But Still the Best
Review: Well, this is the best game Microsoft has ever published! The battle system is near perfect but it still has that "The player with the most units wins" theme which is typical for most RTS games. There are four resources to worry about (wood, food, gold & stone), and that is pretty cool. Also, there are tons of units and sides to choose from. Graphics and sounds are superb even though voice actings are not perfect. Enemey and unit AI's are pretty good too (with great path-finding and collision-detection). The missions can be really tedious sometimes though. (Btw, you can enter "robin hood" at the chat menu if you don't have enough guts, heh heh). If you are an RTS fan and wouldn't mind a complex battle system, get AOE 2!

Summary: good game 4 1/2 stars
Review: aoe 2 is better than the original one, because you have more control over your army you can garrison units and there is an idle villiger button witch is really useful, not to mention the graphics are incredible, and what's neat is that each civilisation has an unique unit and advanteges in the game.the only bad thing is there should be more civilisations to chose from. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys real time strategy games.

Summary: This is a wonderful successor to a wonderful original.
Review: This is the best real time strategy game available and I will explain why. 1) If you are into playing with friends and people on the internet and having a fun time, you WILL love this. This, in my mind, is by far the most fun to play game on the market and the single player is just as versatile and enjoyable as the multiplayer. 2)The various civiliaztions have their own unique strengths and weaknesses which surpass even the civilizations of the first game. The combinations of units for attack and defense is virtually limitless. Each unit has at least two counter units which slaughter it horribly. (Example: Pikemen and Camels and Mamelukes defeat all types of cavalry with ease.) 3)Even the A.I. in this game is a challenge to beat on its hardest level, and the easiet levels let beginner players get a chance to get the feel of the game and learn the civilization attributes before taking on other human players. Peace

Summary: the next fad of the computer world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: this game is amazingly good.There are many scenario's and campaigns, in fact you could even make up your own. Even better there's heros such as William Wallace,Joan of Arc,and Genghis Khan. I find it fun sometimes to just make duplicates and have them fight each other to death to see who's the strongest team of the bunch. There's even specialties for each civilization e.g. If you want to be the Vikings, your ships will cost 20% less wood.there are many other things to such as a William Wallice Learning Campaign for learners(me and my dad were one of them but I'm not anymore)it helps you learn the game and once you finish it,it's as if it's as simple as putting your left arm up and saying the pledge of alliegiance.(unless your arm's broken or you dont know dat pledge)I hope you will find this review very helpful and choose to bye this game.

Summary: Age Of Empires, the age of kings (REVEIW)
Review: When I first played this game I was hooked, I was stunned by the realistic graphics and sound, age of empires is a real time strategy game played across 1000 years through the dark ages and finally all the way to the castle ages. Here are some cheat codes which I hope may be helpful: CHEESES STEAK JIMMY'S 1000+Food, ROBIN HOOD 1000+Gold, LUMBERJACK 1000+ Wood, ROCK ON 1000+ Stone, I LOVE THE MONKEY HEAD get a vdml, POLO no fog, MARCO reveal map, AEGIS instant build, Natural Wonders control wildlife, TORPEDO (player#) kills player. As a reminder type "boldface" to access the code during the single-player game.
