Age of Empires Online does not live up to the legacy of the previous games.
User Rating: 2 | Age of Empires Online PC
Age of Empires Online has not lived up to what the previous games laid a foundation for. The Age of Empires Online game claims to be free, but allows you to only play as certain civilizations, with limited advancement unless you play as a premium user. This is a demo, not a full version, free to play RTS/MMORPG. Even if this game was free, which would make me much more appreciative of it, this game would still be a disgrace due to mocking the original Age of Empires, as well as Age of Empires 2 and 3 with its disgraceful cartoon graphics. The out of proportion bodies, the lack of color detail, and grit that the previous games had, has been stripped down to non-textured, color splashed, jagged individual pawns, that prevent you from feeling that you are in command of an army.
This game has been a disgrace to the Age of Empires legacy, and a slap in the face to the community.
