We bought this game for my son's birthday. It was not expensive and sort of a whim purchase. The game out of the box requires Rosetta (it's not a Universal binary), but if you apply the free patch from their website, it will upgrade the game to a Universal binary. This makes the game much more stable and enjoyable to play.
We had purchased Civ IV: Warlords and this game; my son has hardly even touched Civ IV since we bought this.
Don't buy unless you enjoy frustration.

I really have enjoyed age of empires, but this game is one big frustration. I have not been able to actually play the game. It always stops responding after two or three minutes into any part of the game. Microsoft's customer service has been of no use yet. Their general suggestions is to upgrade everything. When I get a game I don't want to take all day to download updates so it will work on my computer. My computer passes the requirements posted on the side of the box. Maybe they think everybody buys a new computer every month or so. I have been reading on newsgroups and forums and there are many buyers with similar problems.
It might be a fun game if I every get it to run. Save your money until Microsoft comes up with a new version or a patch that will fix it numerous problems.
WOW [but it is really short]

I can't belieive I paid $40 for this! I beat it in two days. The original was the best RTS I've ever played, but this was a real waste of money. If it ever drops to ten bucks, then it might be worth it, but until that day, I would not recommend it to anyone.
a good game

I am a big fan of the Age series and I just pre-ordered this game, I've rea a lot of reviews and downloaded lots of videos and screenshots and the trial version. This is the best game that I have ever seen. Although it is different from Age of Kings, all the features that i liked have stayed and even better features have come, like the graphics, which are amazing.
To the gamer from football town ( the one that gave 1 star): how did you buy it and played it in October 24 if it was released November 1st?
Great game! Buy it.

I love this game. The online experience is great! Plus there is brand new stuff for Create-A-Scenario! But it would awesome if you could Create a Hero! That would be AWESOME!!!!! (As if they'd really create that option). But other than that the game is great!
this game is tight

I bought this game when it first came out. I love fantasy strategy games and this one is one of the best. Great art, great storyline, great characters, weapons, and scenarios.
Just want to add something

I just wanted to say that when I first got this, I thought it was horrible. The reason was that the default setting for the graphics makes it look grainy and lifeless. Try changing everything to "high," and it'll look much better.
