Age of Empires II - Review

 

The game is a beauty to behold andplay. The AI may prove to be too great a challenge for some beginningplayers, though. Otherwise, there is very little I can find to complainabout. This is a genuinely well-designed, fun to play game that stands...

For those that played the original Age of Empires, this will not require that much of a learning curve as most of the general game play mechanics were kept the same which is good for those that like hotkeys. The main differences other than the...

Single Player, Level Issues

There are definitely some good aspects to this game that have already been mentioned so I'll only note why I had to give it a lower rating. I prefer to play all my games as single player. I started playing on "easy" level for obvious reasons of...

Too Draggy

Admittedly, I am not a gamer and not incredibly patient. This game, which I am just learning, seems ponderous and time consuming. Creating this, collecting that, yada yada yada. I feel like I started this tutorial 12 years ago and am only halfway...

The One Strategy Game to Rule Them All!

If you enjoyed AOE I, then you will salivate over AOE II. AOE II retains the qualities of AOE I but features cooler weaponry, technology, and defensive structures. Each civilization has at least one unique military unit and a unique technology (for...

Oldie, but a goodie

I love this game. I used to play it when I was younger and only had Windows 98. Then one day, the disc got cracked from me being rough, but I continued to use it. When it overheated, it literally exploded inside the tower and came out in pieces when...
