Who needs anger management?

I love how cheap games become when they're outdated, esp. when the expansion pack comes with it. This game is worth more than what you're paying, IMO. Tons of maps, scenerios, campaigns, creating your own. You have lots of cheats, but after 2 straight weeks of playing, your skills will bump up high enough that you'll never need to use them, unless you're in a must-win bad mood. The 2 fun chats are for the priests & chariot archers that give them sonic speed; adding humor to the game & giving you a speed advantage durring wars. & nothing vents off real-world anger like declaring war & fighting it in a game. When you're done (if you win)you'll feel refreshed & happy with only cramped fingers as a casualty.

age of empires yes buy it now and enjoy.

This is one of the most addictive games I have ever played, bar none. Time flies by when I play it, which is not always a good thing (like when studying for tests :-)). The only problem I had with it is that the characters aren't very smart. Sometimes they can get stuck behind something instead of going around it. Overall, a great game. Good job Microsoft!

Pure fun.

Some people may find the singleplayer option tedious and boring after a while, but I personally find it the best aspect of the game. When you don't want to wring your brain dry with the multiplayer option, you can spend a few mindless hours killing antelope and gazelle. You can kill citizens of your little kingdom. I don't advise it though. You have to pay for your citizens, in meat, gold or wood.After a few thousand years, your people 'evolve'. Then life gets harder. After a few millenia, whichever civilization finished their wonder first wins. It is usually the Romans. They can build really fast.All in all, it is a very fun, challenging gave that you won't get bored of easily. I give it 10 stars out of 5!!!!!!!!!!

Age Of Empires!

====================================//

A great game that will last you a long
time, I think this is good for beginners
and has plenty of options. It is a great
game with plenty of units and stuff. It
has different countries and things like
that. It will last you for ages because
of the huge campaigns and stuff it also
is quite addictive,especially with the
cheats. You have to do things like: Forage
for berries, hunt animals, mine gold and stone
and also trade items to build your city up. You
can upgrade weapons and things like that. You
can build walls and watchtowers to keep intruders
out and so on... I reccommend this to anyone who
likes Real Time Strategy. 9.5/10 :)

Great Game for Great PLayers

I absoultly love Age of Empires, and other simulation games. My friend has it, my camp has it, it is UNBELIVABLE. Great graphics, a good motive, and I don't care that this review isn't very helpful. All that I need to say is. . .
GET THIS GAME! YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!

Perfect

The Age of Empires, Age of Kings, Age of Mythology series is definitely the best ever sires of real time strategy games. In all versions of the game you are allowed to control both the armies and economies of your nation. You can build buildings, creature soldiers or peasants, even priests. Your peasants you command to do the different menial tasks such as farming, mining, and building castles. While your armies roam the land either defending your peasants, sieging enemy castles, or raiding their peasants. Priest have the power to convert both peasants and soldiers. If you like being king of the world, this is for you. Finally, I just want to differentiate between the games. Age of Empires is the oldest of the games and should run on any computer, but I wouldn't recommend the game without either the Rise of Rome Expansion Pack or just buying the Age of Empires Gold Edition. These two correct many problems with the original Age of Empires. Next game up the latter for medium computers is Age of Kings (that's what I'm still playing.) It can run on just about any computer with sixty four megs of ram and a two hundred megahertz processor. I use it on a five hundred megahertz and a one point four gigahertz. Next game up is the Age of Mythology. This introduces a whole new realm of playing to the sires. This one you civilization chooses different gods to worship and is given power from them. Unfortunately you only get two really spectacular god powers each game and you can only use them once, but then it keeps the game to more strategy and less luck and wildcards. (It is fun to get the wildcards when you have them though!) This game should have a processor of I would say at least a six hundred and a graphics card at least thirty two megabytes; and lastly this is not the game for everybody. I still use Age of Kings/Conquerors not because of my computer, but because I don't like all the crazy stuff in Mythology; I think it distracts from the medieval battle tactics. Really choosing between Mythology and Age of Kings is just a matter of personal opinion. I'd say download both demos and try them both; or if you have the money to blow, buy them both. Either way I think you'll love both of them. Well that's all for me. This is just a general over view don't take my words as gold check out the specs and requirements yourself. I just wanted to help point you in the right direction.

This game is fun for a while, esp. if you are head-to-head with someone, but after a while it can get kind of dull. The villagers are just about the stupidest people you'd ever see! You can send them off to kill antelope and they will kill every antelope in the immediate area and then bring back the meat, but once all the antelope are dead and all the meat has been collected, they stand staring at the ground and don't go back to the village, so you have to go get them. As well, they aren't smart enough to walk around trees. They just walk into them and keep walking on the spot. It's a good strategy game but it kind of gets boring.

not enough houses

I think that its an outrage that they [the makers of AOE] only made the software only have a max of 50 houses. The only thing that didn't give this 4 stars is the supersweet codes you can get. I mean like the code big daddy gives you a sweet convertable with a rocket lancher.That's all and thank you =-)

P.S. The code big mama dosen't work.
