Really Good Strategy Game

4 Rating: 4, Useful: 3 / 5

If you like strategy games, then this is for you. I'm a huge fan of Advanced Wars and Civilization, and this title neatly slots somewhere in between. It is turn based, and as you progressed through the levels, it grows more complex and demands more attention to strategy. I'm still plowing through after 3 months of purchase, and it is a game that I return frequently. I would happily recommend it.

pretty good game

I have found that age of empires ds is not quite as bad as people make it out to be. I have logged 17 hours with this game and although it has frozen twice(both non-lethal to game) that creating a username four characters or longer does indeed help. All that aside it is a really great game with plenty of units and excellent battle animations (though a little repetitive). This game recieves 4 stars because of glitches, but it is an overall good game. Although I wouldn't put this as number 1 on your must have list. It makes a good 2nd or 3rd!

What happend?

I was playing the game then it froze so I turned my DS off and then I couldn't play it again. There is nothing wrong with my DS, it's just the game.

Great Great Great

This is just so much fun as the PC version, I wish there were other titles from this series por Nintendo DS--
The game recently frozed making true the rumors about the game and making more real the possibility of loosing it entirely. I just keep being carefull when saving just in case...

Great Strategy Game for Nintendo DS

Warning: The game is addictive.

It is a very good game for a portable console. It might seem complicated when you just start playing, but as you play along it becomes easy to understand how to control an entire empire. Like any other strategy game as your empire progresses also your options grow and you have the power to construct bigger and more powerful armies and buildings.

I like playing this game during flights as it passes time really fast and before you know it you arrive at your destination (and you can also eat your flight peanuts while playing your game, great fun!).

Review from a 30 year old.

With "Age of Empires: The Age of Kings" the world is mine...

A game for Risk lovers!

If you like to play risk, you'll love to play this game. This is the perfect game to bring on a plane for a long trip.

DEFECTIVE

This game is absolutely awesome...... until it starts to freeze up on you and eventually crashes, unable to be played again.

This is what happened to me. Apparently, I wasn't supposed to "Save and Quit." Otherwise I'd still be playing it hours on end. Had the developers let me know this little tidbit (besides the attached instruction for user profile being more than 3 characters long), I'd have no complaints for the game. No wonder Gamestop had a huge sale on every copy!

If you decide to purchase this game, remember: DO NOT "SAVE & QUIT" during gameplay. Simply "SAVE" your game and turn the DS off.

Good luck to all you who have purchased this game and pray that your money doesn't go wasted... I myself purchased two copies of the game with the same problem...

Good Game.

This game was everything that I had hoped for. I was worried about the "save game" problems that other reviewers had complained about. But the game includes instruction on how to get around that particular problem.

Great game, but has bugs

This is a very fun to play game with lots of replay value. There is a few bugs in the game that they should have caught in game testing, but I guess the game was rushed through production. I like this game nearly as much as my favorite DS game Advance Wars. It's too bad the game doesn't keep a record of high scores. The games AI is pretty predictable, but still fun to beat over and over. I can only hope they make a second follow up game and fix the bugs. Still I highly recommend this game.

Not bad, but not the same as the PC version

Being a massive, huge fan of the PC version I was a little disappointed with the Nintendo DS version. Possibly I was expecting too much from a hand held game, but the game play doesn't really bare much resemblance to the PC game. Having said that, the graphics are good and the game play is enjoyable, just don't expect too much.
