The game that started RTS's

User Rating: 8.3 | Age of Empires PC
By burninghawk | Review Date:
Age of Empires was probably one of the first games that i had tried for the real time strategy. Age of Empires was what started it all and has changed how strategy games are played.

this game is really solid, with all the things you can do in this game, make it a good tasting surprise that will have your nose on the screen while playing it, for a long time. Whether it be doing missions, playing against the AI, or facing your friends, it's really fun.

The graphics were decent for its time, and were above exceptional and deserve at least a little credit for '96.

The music however, can get really boring after a while and really just can get irritating, because we kind of want music that suits more combat then peaceful waters, fick.

Overall, strategy fans should pick this game up as well as the expansion and the other age of empire games. Doing so, will keep you busy during your free time for many months to come!
