Summary: WOW! Prepare to be blown away!
Review: I picked up Age of Sail II not really sure if it was a wargame or a RTS game. It's a little bit of both. It has some of the best eye candy I've ever seen, and the game play is amazing also. I downloaded the patch from the talonsoft web site, and they made a great game even better! Looking forward to more campaigns and stuff from them. It's well worth the .... It's not often that you see a game that has SO many different features and so many play options.

Summary: This game is a demo
Review: I say that this game is a demo because it is clearly was released six months before completion. The bugs and glitches are multitude. We have become used to seeing games released before they are totaly de-bugged but this (believe me) is the record. Buggs aside, the main problem is that the game has not even been completed--it is a rough sketch of a possibly great art work. Perhaps 50% of the scenarios fuction reasonably correctly (excluding the bugs). If you have Voodoo 3 don't buy this untill its Voodoo problems are sorted out (check the message boards at the Talonsoft website). In fact, if you have been eagerly awaiting this game , check out the message boards over the next few weeks (or possibly months) and wait untill a completed, functional version of this product is available. I suspect the problems may be too large to fix with four or five downloads.

Summary: I took a chance & it paid off
Review: I took a chance buying this game, I never played the first Age of Sail so i had no idea what this game would be like, Turns out i love this game, I love the graphic detail of the ships & I love the historic accuracy of the game (which is very important to me with games like this), Just wish the instructions were a little more detailed.

Summary: Don't buy it !!! Too Many Bugs !!!
Review: I tried this on two computers, and could not get it to work. I am sure it could be wonderful, but I will never know. My computers have never had a serious problem with any games before. Both computers meet the requirements. Yet everytime I started a battle or campaign they locked up in seconds. I tried reducing the graphics with no luck. Good luck to you if you buy it.

Summary: Bugs, Bugs, Bugs!!!
Review: I was so looking forward to this game. However, when I got it there were more bugs in it than under my refrigerator. First i couldnt play a battle without the game locking up. Second, you seemed to be unable to load saved games (which are a must in the campaigns)just getting a saved file processing error message over and over again. There is nothing more frustrating than to go two or three battles into a campaign and then having to start all over again! Another thing is the commercials for other talonsoft games (that look pretty crappy) every time you boot up or shut down the game- very tacky. Otherwise, the graphics and battle interface were fantastic and the ship modeling top rate. Too bad it didnt come together in the game

Summary: Cool concept, lousy execution
Review: If fast action is your taste, look elsewhere. If historical gameplay is to your liking, this title works. However, the nut and bolts of the game are poorly implemented. The game plays like an early beta release, all of the patches help but it is still a buggy game, bottom line. Such a shame, as the graphic engine does an admirable job of rendering the ships and their surroundings. Hope the follow up game I've been reading about is tested and proven more thoroughly when it is released than this one was.

Summary: Only for expert gamers
Review: If U like to kill aliens everywhere and the sound of lasers... Don't buy it, go to Arcade games... But if you know the esence of the games and strategy... welcome to this one. The views, the sounds and even the taste of sea breeze, joined with the rush and the adrenaline of battles makes of this one a great game... Welcome aboard captain!....

Summary: As exciting as watching paint dry...
Review: If you absolutely love naval warfare circa 1800, then this game should be tolerable. However, if you like a game with pacing, then skip this turkey by. Yes, it does have lovely graphics and the attention to detail is admirable. But it all boils down to maneuvering your ship(s), firing your cannons, then waaaaaaaiting for the reload so you can fire another volley. That's the whole game. One-on-one battles are decent to kill 15-25 minutes, but multi-ship battles are nearly impossible to manage.Summary: buy this game if you LOVE naval warfare from 1775-1815, otherwise, skip this.
