User Rating: 7.8 | Age of Empires PC

Gameplay: The random map which is the normal game play mode can soon get boring. You have only 50 units available(!!!!). Thankfully the designers managed to put in a great scenario editor that really increases the games gameplay. There are no limits in the editor ( once i had a full legion - 6000 soldiers against an enemy army...) so you can put on great battles. Gameplay- 9 Graphics: The game looks good. Graphics - 8 Sound: Quite boring unless fighting a massive battle via the editor. The sound becomes great when you have hundreds of swords clashing. Sound - 7 Value: The editor is really worth yr time and money for the game. Value - 7 Tilt - 7
