    I'm glad I didn't buy it and a friend gifted it to me. What a waste of money.

    This is going to be a short review because there's next to nothing to write. Anyone who's been into RTS for long enough knows about AoE. AoE II was arguably the best of the series and I enjoyed it a lot more than I did... Read Full Review

    Not much new here. Should have cost less.

    I love the original series. I was thinking that they would have enhanced a lot - but they didn't. The terrain looks the same - the character animations look the same. It seems to take longer to farm wood with this vers... Read Full Review

    My favourite game of all time, a timeless classic!

    My favourite game to date, fun and strategic, which with I never get bored. It is well balanced all around, I can only hope for Age of Empires IV to come out with the same strength as this game. I still play this game to... Read Full Review

    Despite being an old game, it's very enjoyable!

    I have spent countless hours playing this game. Even if you finish the campaign, which will keep you busy for hours, you can play for hundreds of more hours on Regicide or Random Map. There are many campaigns, and you co... Read Full Review

    A classic RTS that not only plays well, but makes learning history fun and immersive.

    Age of Empires II improved on many aspects of the original while still following a standard RTS template. Though it remained lacking in some areas, it presented itself well and won the hearts of both gamers and history b... Read Full Review

    The best of a disappointing bunch!

    I could write essays on this game. But for this review i'll be brief. Age of Empires 2 set such a high bar for PC Real time Strategy Games back at its release in 1999. So high, that its never been surpassed. The game... Read Full Review

    Review on AOE 3 vs. AOE 2 - How AOE 3 does not compare

    Recently, I played AOE Online. What a shame. The online mechanics don't work very well, the non-free price seems like a facebook game app knock off, and it just doesn't feel like an AOE game overall. But this review i... Read Full Review
