I was surprised by how good a transition Age of Empires made from PC to DS. The graphis are great, bright, and colorful. The sound is fun and exiting. Tons of replay value, each battle turns out completely different ech time you play it. Ahh, yes, the battles. They are sooooo much fun!!! When you start a battle, you just can't quit! The tactical fighting system is a charm to witness, and the little screen showing each individual fight is really kool. The touch-screen is fun to use. Unfortunately, many of the battles are too hard, but it can still be an exiting ride even if you lose. There are so many varieties of warriors, and it is a joy to watch them at work. The stroy is great, you go through tons of different historical fights, and they are all fun. I would recommend Age of Empires: The Age of Kings DS to just about anyone, even those of you who are unfimiliar with the series.This game was a fun play, and well worth the $17.89.
