Age of Empires 2 uses the "If it ain't broke don't fix it" formula to bring a game that looks like, feels like, sounds like and plays like its predecesor, that's bad in all respects, as you could buy the first one and save some... [ Read The Full Review... ]

The review of AOE2 will read awfully similar to the AOE1 review above but the reason for it is that the game has remained unchanged other than being expanded to include more nations and more weapons. I'm not a huge PC gamer but I can recommend... [ Read The Full Review... ]

This is a game that is both lots of fun and educational. So if you need a little excuse to justify the hours that you'll spend conquering Europe, Asia, etc. ... you can claim that you're learning about history. The campaigns are... [ Read The Full Review... ]

Age of Empires 2 isn't 3d but it's the best RTS on the market,and has a great community in Planet Age of Empires, not counting all the other sites.In empire earth you can play from the prehistoric age to the nano age. It is different in age of... [ Read The Full Review... ]

Age of Empires 2 is an excellent game. It is realistic, yet not too hard. This game is very addicting and will make you want to play until you win. I like that you need to collect resources before building units and buildings. The game gets... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Daniel Pronych (4 Trusters)	8	7/4/2002
This game is a lot better than the original. After playing this one, you can't go back because after you play this one, you see how pathetic the original is compared to this. I think Mircosoft/Ensemble (it's not surprising that Microsoft didn't... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		John D. (4 Trusters)	10	6/29/2002
This game is an instant classic. Age of Empires 2 is tons of fun and will keep you busy forever. Online mode lets you play with friends, and anyone else that you meet on the internet. The missions are interesting and fun. They are also a... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Mike Kacmar (1 Trusters)	9	6/29/2002
Pros: Different attributes for each civilzation is very interesting. Feels like a historical game. Expands past the 50 people capacity, which was the low point of the original. Multiplayer mode is very well organized. Cons: Too much... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Matt Wisnieski (6 Trusters)	10	5/3/2002
This game has come out quite a long time ago, but it still stands up to other strategy games. It has so many possibilities (i.e. great on-line play, map editor, campaigns, etc.) that I still play this game on a regular basis even though I've... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		David Livermore (3 Trusters)	8	4/23/2002
Major improvments over the original. Each civilization having it's own unique unit and their own advantages and disadvantages are great. The single player game can be a tad too easy, it was defintly made to be an multiplayer game, and it's how... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Sir Adam, Thane of Cawdor (76 Trusters)	8	4/2/2002
Excellent gameplay, let down by a tremendously irritating singleplayer. Play this game for MP only. The problem with the single-player is that there is no continuity to the storyline. You don't choose one civilisation and progress... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		-GRE- ﮋaҚέ (48 Trusters)	9	3/24/2002
This is one of the best "war strategy" type of games I've ever played, right up there with Starcraft! This game brings it back to being "realistic" with tons of different soldiers and "machines" are great, lots of strategy to be... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Waldir Leôncio (7 Trusters)	10	3/24/2002
In my humble opinion, this is one of the best (if not the best) real-time strategy game there is. It's relatively simple to play, the graphics are great, and the storyline is accurate (if you don't know, "Age of Empires 2" is about William... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Kevin Felker (5 Trusters)	9	3/17/2002
I just bought the game, but I am impressed considering the game is 3 years old now. There's even a user community out there making scenarios and mods. The graphics are obviously a little dated, but some of the mods change the... [ Read The Full Review... ]

An excellent strategy game, I just don't have the strength to finish most of the games cause it takes hours and hours to do so... I end up using the "How do you turn this on" Cobras. A newer game with a better AI would be... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Brian F. (2 Trusters)	8	2/20/2002
Okay, I admit it--I basically cheated my way through the single player campaign (by using the add gold cheat). What can I say, I'm obviously a terrible player. Hey, I beat Red Alert 2 and Warlords Battlecry, so why couldn't I beat AOE... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Trevor Dowdle (7 Trusters)	9	1/22/2002
A few may think that this game is veryu boring. Also, a few may think that this game is very, very fun. Most of all, I don't think any other strategy game beats the battle system that this game gives us.. Over the past... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Duke Guy (2 Trusters)	9	1/6/2002
This game sure did impress me. I thought it might be a little complicated, and when I saw the 200 page instruction book I was intimitaded. But, after going through the learning missions I felt like I knew the game. The random... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		terester21 (2 Trusters)	9	11/29/2001
I thought this game was mad fun. It's so addictive too. I can play this for hours and hours. I never even knew what this was until a friend told me to try it out. I thought it was going to be boring, well, I guess I thought... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		rudedogg006 (3 Trusters)	8	10/31/2001
Better control, and more races to choose from make this a good improvement over the original. The basic strategy is still picking berries and slamming your massive army into your opponents cities. ... [ Read The Full Review... ]
