Pros: Excellent gameplay, ample replayability

Pros: It it really cool with alot of players with you, but one player can get boring.
Cons: It doesn't have as good graphics as the newer one but is just as fun, I would get the newer one.

This game doesn't have the same graphics as the new one, but it is certainly a great game. I have learned many cheats for this game over time, the cheats for Age of Empires II has different cheats that I think are harder to remember. While playing a...

I am addicted to this game. The graphics are great and the game is never the same twice. You can play up to 8 players at a time and the game is played by people all over the world. So you think you are getting good? try playing it on-line against some...

Pros: Cool and realistic
Cons: if you've been on the Age of Empires scene for a while, you may get bored

Don't get me wrong, this is a great game if your new to the age of empires games. Even if your not, its not bad. For me though its just getting old. I beat the original and the expansion, but when I thought about playing them again, I just couldn't....

Pros: Great Storyline, Good AI, Flexable Play options

I found this new swing on an old game quite refreshing. The new graphics and new civilizations, it was really amazing. The new Artificial Intelligence was really a refreshing opponent compared to AOE 1. I was really impressed with the graphics...

Pros: Nice new touches that are a great improvement over those in the previous game
Cons: The units have shrunk considerably, making detail hard to see

Pros: Lots of societies to choose
Cons: Campaigns lack interest

A friend turned me on to strategy games about 18 months ago. She knew I had always been into video games and she needed help beating a personal opponent. They were playing Starcraft so I picked up a copy to learn the game. I enjoyed it. I played for...

Pros: Deep strategy, 13 civilizations and all of them play different, great multiplayer
Cons: Boring single player, immature players on the Zone, all games are long

The RTS genre has become bloated with different titles, some good, most not. With all the choices, which ones float to the top and which ones sink to the bottom? Homeworld and Myth 2 are definitely prime choices, but Age of Empires II: Age of Kings has...

Pros: Great Graphics, Strategic Game Play
Cons: Takes A While To Get Started

This game kicks! Especially if you have an entire afternoon to spend on the computer and no chores to do around the house. You can choose from many different Medieval civilizations, campaigns, maps, including: Baltic maps, Black Forest maps, Gold Rush...
