Old, but still enjoyable
Age of Empires was one of the first real time strategy games I came up across. I found it difficult at first, but it all sank in some what after a few hours of play. The graphics on it are fairly good for its time. Th... Read Full Review

Doesn't expand much
It's just an expansion, but still didn't hook me to the game. The graphics are still bad, the gameplay still confuses me and the whole game just bores me. Sorry to all you people out there who likes this game, this is ju... Read Full Review

Good start, just not fun
This game was a good start because Age of Empires 2 was a great game that I probably would still be playing, but I lost the disk. However, this game is really not that great. I played it for about 20 minutes and just cou... Read Full Review

There is no on line game that comes close to Age of Empires.
There is no on line game that comes close to Age of Empires. It is simply the best game around. Playing against the Computer all the time gets real tedious as it only has one strategy. Whereas playing on line is superb a... Read Full Review

Why Not Higher?
For a game developed in '97, it was extremely well-developed. Granted, the graphics were a little a behind the curve but other than that the game was ahead. The sound in the game was epic in voice which is always a plu... Read Full Review
