What can I say Age of Empire II really improves on the first Age of Empires. I think that this game is one of the best RTS games ever to be made. The sound effects are on point. I mean they are the best sound effects that I have seen in an RTS...

Age of Empires 2: The Age of Kings is like most strategy games, once you start playing you cannot put it down, this game is that fun. It is so much fun to just play the random map and just build up and take over other civilizations and conquer...

After playing the original Age of Empires and enjoying it I knew I had to try this. When I first bought it I had to throw it away because I wouldn't stop playing it for weeks. In due time I came crawling back and bought another copy.

The first words that spring to mind when talking about Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings are: vast improvement over the previous game.
First of all Microsoft must have realised that the gameplay wasn't very good in the original game...

This game is widely recognized as one of the greatest RTS's of all time.
It's simple to learn the basics, but you'll spend hours developing your own strategies and learning to outplay everyone else. There are so many paths that can be...

Age of Empires 2: The Age of Kings is a very good strategy game for the PC. This game is created by Ensemble Studios which alos created Age of Mythology which is better in my opinion considering you have powers you can use in combat that could help...

Age of Empires II is a much improved version of Age of Empires.
Much better graphics than it's predecessor; much more units and their upgrades, as well as new buildings and random animals walking around. Sound is much improved too,...

AoE 2 may offer some new graphics and gamepaly features but the fun is still no where to be found.
In AoE 2 you have an even larger selection of units you can build. However, there is no need for most of them. The simple tactic of...

Don't get me wrong, I liked this game, but I just don't think its one of the best ever PC games (or best RTS games, for that matter).
Age of Empires II is your quintessential historical RTS. You build bases, mine resources, raise...

If AOE was a great RTS, Ensemble studios went one up with this sequel which featured more civilizations, better graphics, improved game mechanics and a very engrossing story line. The campaign mode is split into some real scenarios where you can...

Age of Empires 2 is one of the greatest strategy games out, and since it is old now you can buy it for cheap. The graphics are better than the 1st game, but are not great compared to today's games. The game is very easy to play and doesn't take...

I love "god" games. In fact they're the only type of PC game I can manage to play (I guess it's just the keyboard and mouse interface that I can't get down for First Person or something). Age of Empires 2 just takes everything you would have...

I figured, hey, I love strategy games like Warcraft and Starcraft so why not try this one? It's very popular and tons of people seem to like it.
I can see the quality in a game like this. Obviously, it's a lot more realistic and...

Now this is where the fun begins! The second installment of the Age Of Empires franchise is a definite must have!
With much improved graphics it's an even better ride. Better sound, armies and storyline make this a well rounded...

What a fantastic RTS! This game consists of building a HUGE army and unloading on one or more of your enemies.
They did an excellent job requiring diversity and scouting... It's all about the economy.
The options are...

A good game, just like its predecessor, but a little bland and colorless.
AOK makes a number of major improvements over the AOE engine. Formations and "hold fire" options allow you to move those artillery pieces safely into possession...

Having played strategy games for years I found AOE2 a welcome suprise. I had played the first installment and found it buggy. Needless to say, I didn't play it long and was skeptical of the sequel.
But I found out quickly that it...

Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings is the best real time strategy game to be made. For a 1999 RTS game it was way more then I had expected. The graphics were above it's time; and even today they are good graphics. There are no flaws or glitches...

Pros: Builds on successful formula
Cons: Steep learning curve
After a lackluster Age of Empires, expectations were not high for AoE2. THe very interesting historical plot notwithstanding, AoE seemed to be a rushed...

Age of Empires 2 is close to being regarded as an old game now but still manages to stay in my top 10, the sheer replayability of this game is it's best aspect, with the ability to play many different styles of random maps using your favourite...

Age of Empires 2 takes off where AOE left off and takes it to new levels.
The multiplayer mode is very easy to get started and a ton of fun (even if you only have dialup).
Graphics have been improved, and the single player...

Age of Empires 2 has really added something new to the Age of Empires Series. Taking the already impressive Age of Empires, this game has better graphics, more options. One of the best things about the game is the history of all the civilisations...

I ended up playing Age of Empires more than AoE2 for one reason: no one I know bought the second incarnation. I liked the missions, but as a Classics guy (yup, 9 years of Latin), I can't help but be partial to the Roman Empire and all its glory. ...
