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.

Beautiful

This game delivers the awesome gameplay that RTS players have come to expect from the age of series. This one features three races, each capable of following a divine allignment of their choice, and to create mythical creatures, heroes and regular soldiers. You can also summon acts of god. To pay for your mythical units, you must do different things for each race; pray, build and kill.

As for the graphics, the AOM team took the road to 3D with reasonable success. The graphics are pretty, and look especially spectacular when you have large forces battling each other on screen. The terrain and units are very detailed, and the animations are very impressive and fun to watch, making this very pleasing to the eye.

As for the campaign, the story keeps you fasinated with a story as good as the amazing one in Warcraft III.

Rounding up, I think that this game is well worth your purchase, and a worthy member of the Age of series.

Go Back in time, choose a god, and worship ur butt off

This game is great, if you're an Age of kings lover and like the Age of empires series you will love this game, it not only gives you the same features of Age of Empires, but it gives you the attempt to form your own civilization and learn about Ancient civilizations, like the Greeks and Egiptians.

This is a great game that Is so much fun, my only complaint is htat it only has 4 invironments.

GREAT!!!

Love this game, although if you are a teacher, you'll want to buy the collecters edition. The levels are lots of fun, and MS put a LOT of thought into them. Lots of replay value and I can't wait to try the multiplayer. You may want to upgrade the drivers for your graphics card before playing.

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.

A Very good, very addictive RTS game

As a long time player of the Age of Empires games I was a bit skeptical about the introduction of "mythological" - read magical - characters. But this added a dimension to the game that AOE veterans will appreciate. The story is fun although a bit corny. The best things about this game include:

The graphics, they are great, a real step up, which I guess we'd all expect.

The AI is a little smarter and less restrained than in the AOE series. When you play it on the hardest level you'll see it.

The Myth Characters. They add another dimension to your economy. In battle they're cool to watch, although not all that more useful than "mortal" units.

All in all MS has come up with a very good, very entertaining (time wasting) game.

WoW this game is pretty fun

I play alot of trategy games but this one i have to say is one of the best. This game has many new advancements over the old age of empires 2. It has outstanding graphics and real easy to learn upgrades. One big part of this game thats real fun are the mythlogical creatures and god powers.Bassicaly it is age of empires 2 on steroids. There are really only a couple of flaws i can say about the game. It is really annoying when you have to build multiple town squares to make it to you can have more population. By the time you save up for another town square someone else has already taken it. Still by all means a fun game but with some flaws.

The best yet from Ensemble Studios

Awsome graphics. Superb sound. Impeccable game interface. This game is certaintly the best in the Age of Series. The balance is good. I very much like the 3 types of units (human, heroic, and mythic). It gives the game more variety and tactical challenge. The only thing is the game is too slow for me (45 min. to 2 hr.), so I would reccomend Red Alert 2 for those of you that are like me. Other than that this game is perfect.
