Rating:6.5
This game essentially reminded me of a human versus human version of Warcraft. The game's okay, but not a classic.
What else is there to say? This game isn't particularly colorful, the animation isn't anything to write home about, the sound effects are a little redundant, the units aren't very original/varied. STILL the game is the... Read Full Review

Age of Empires is one of the best known strategy games in the history, and I really like it!
Graphics: 9/10 Sounds: 8/10 Difficulty: 8/10 Playability: 8/10 Gameplay: 9/10 The graphics are very good, but it would be cruel to compare it with the newer titles such as C&C Generals, because this is an ol... Read Full Review

How far we've come
I got the demo of this game in Dec 1997 and for months me and my best friend did nothing but play it (yes, nothing but the demo). Some months later I actually saved up enough to buy the full game and at the time it seeme... Read Full Review

Nowhere as good as Age of Kings. Not even close.
Sadly Age of Empires 1 is nowhere near as good as its sequels and is a very unbalanced and frustrating game. AoE's graphics are fairly average. Some animations look stupid with weird shaky walking animations for sword... Read Full Review

A simple strategy that has its flaws, but is an instant classic.
Welcome to 1997. A young, fresh game studio has just released a new game. Little did they know that their game will sell over 3 million copies worldwide, and they'll be some of the most prominent game developers in the i... Read Full Review

Good game but... meh
The premise for this game was great. Start your empire from the ground up moving through the ages, unlocking technology as you go. This was the first RTS I ever played and I was addicted for a long time. However as ne... Read Full Review

Age of Empires Takes you from Rocks to Brass.
This is the expansion to the best RTS game series in the whole world. I love to watch the villagers walking back and forth collecting resources. It gives you a sense of realism. The buildings are more like what you would... Read Full Review
