The most revolutionary RTS ever. Ever.
This is among the best RTS games to ever be released. It's fantastic. Graphics are nice and clean, with good attention to every unit and landscape. This will also run on almost any computer as well. Campaigns are abso... Read Full Review

I have never seen a better set of Computer games than the Age of Empire Series.
Age of Empires was the first game that really caught my attention. I liked the idea of watching the villigers gather resources, and actually seeing the units attack an enemy. I sat for hours just watching my units and se... Read Full Review

A decent over-all game for it's time and price.

When it first came out, a good RTS, but there are much better ones now. There really is no reason to go back and play it again. Gameplay is painfully slow compared to what is out there now. If you have never tried an ... Read Full Review

It is old, so it's cheap, but there's so many better strategy games today there isn't any point in buying this game.
At first, I was amazed with this game. Truly fun gameplay, better graphics than any of my other games, and it had multiplayer! (Of course this was years ago) However, after a few weeks it just became too repetitive. ... Read Full Review

Yes it has it's problems, but it was a first in the right direction. And hey, you learn history in the campaigns!
I think Gamespot was a little off on this review. This game is a little under appreciated. Like I said it's definitely not perfect but we are talking 1997 here. It spawned a bunch of similar games in the genre of RTS ... Read Full Review
