The game was ok, and suddenly stop to work and It was not working any longer.

8/5/07

I sent this game to Majestic and they sent me back a new one that works. They explained to me that the DS should have a name with more than 4 letters in order that this games works.

Now it is OK.

One of my favorite DS games

When I was going to buy this game I had second thoughts about the game. Now I know I made a good choice. My friend and I always play hot seat game. I really like the variety of units you can play as. I also like it when you fight enemy units. This is without doubt one of my favorite DS games.

Great Game - when it works

First I will say the gameplay is very addicting, but having to complete missions many times in order to move on because of the save game issue is very frustrating. I have given up on my second cart after experiencing the problems and reading all the reviews on here. I had the exact same issues everyone else did. This in my mind is a recall situation where the game is unplayable to some degree after a very short time playing it, you can't go any further in the game and cannot save any of your missions. Shame on the vendor for not recalling this great game.

Few crashing problems here...

I'm not sure if I got the only fully working copy of this game or not, but I have extensively played this game (100+ hours) and have only rarely had a lock-up - and these can be avoided if you save every few rounds when playing a large multi-player game. I've got no idea why some people are having such serious problems with the title.

As for the game itself, it is a great adaptation of the PC game, you don't have all of the features or whistles of the computer game, but what is here is wonderfully scaled to the DS platform. I never liked this game much on the PC, but the scale and interface work great with this iteration. The gameplay seems simple, but you really have to master the use of terrain and unit type to complete the harder campaigns.

Well worth the price for anyone who likes wargames/strategy.

Fun

Fun turn based strategy game. I play it often. The optional objectives add a nice replay value. Feels like Age of Empires.

good game

i but this game like a month ago.
I knew that it had to be good because i had already played another age of empires for pc that was like the same thing.
The game is fun but many times is hard.

Successful Portable Strategy

I was both pleased and intrigued to hear that Age of Empires could be played on the Nintendo DS. The turn based combat works well, the graphics are pleasing, though simple. Age of Empires in turn-based form ends up feeling somewhat like those early days playing Sid Meier's Civilization. It begs the question, why isn't Civilization on the DS? Age of Empires succeeds in bringing the RTS elements of resource management and expansion into a turn based game. I have heard good things about the multiplayer, but alas, I have not had the opportunity to try it out. If you are a strategy buff, this game is worth a look.

Do not buy this game!! It locks up and becomes useless!!!

Not much else to say. My son liked it...for the three weeks it worked. Locked up and has become unusable. If you search the internet you will find this to be a common complaint. The company will do nothing to help you. I'd probably, given their responses re: these issues, stay away from their other games as well. Bottom line...the product does not work.

WOW! This game sucks.....

I don't know why it got such high reviews. I was looking for a strategy game similar to Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Well, This Aint It... I bought this thing new at eb and played it for 5 minutes. I never played it again. A total waste of money.... The DS Lite is called that for a reason. It is LIGHT on strategy and RPG games. At least it plays GBA games, making it a worthwile purchase for anyone who doesn't have a gameboy.

nice game
