This game is medicore. At first it seems good, but after a while, you get more and more things happening to you. Certian comp. allies always turn on you. The graphics are okay. the sound is something that you will turn off and listen to a CD instead. The controls are ok, and all together everything is fine, it just doesnt mix at all. You will soon leave it on you stack of computer games and will play more dencent games like Starcraft. i havnt played it in at least a month, and you shouldnt waste your hard earned cash for it. the history is great and makes sense, but after a space you get sick of all the same units; 14 civilazations all only 1 tech tree. They just make certian Civs. not able to get some units. Its sad. Now if youll excuse me, i have a good game to play called Total Annihilation. . .

humans are wierd, crazy,ect....

I loved this game!!!!!!!!!!
the system requirements are low and it has awesome graphics!!!!!
You fight your way to survive in a 2-8 player game filled with unsuspected attacks, wonder biulding and so much more!!!!!!
You can fight in as augustus ceasar in the rise of Rome campaign
or be the mysterious country called the Yamato (Japan).
You can play the computer or play online, if you have internet connections.
Whatever you choose to do, you'll have fun unless this game is just not your type!!!!!
WARNING: this game is very addictive and it may seem you played for half an hour but you probably played for an hour or more!!!!!
Trust me it is not wasted time!!!!!!!!

It's Fun to Reign Supreme

Age of Empires Gold is a good game. It includes Age of Empires I and the Expansion Pack, Rise of Rome. I play the expansion pack a lot because if you've ever played Age of Empires and created a villager or military unit, you have to wait for it to finish before you can created another one. In the expansion, however, you can queue it up, so you can keep clicking the villager button, for example, four times, and it will make four villagers. But it's not worth getting if you have another Age of Empires game.

Great Game

This game has been around for quite a while. It is a on going game that has up dated additions from time to time. I feel that there are enough variations to keep me interested for years to come online and off. Looking to rule the world? Then this is the game for you.

Good but...

First off, Age of Empires is an amazing strategy and war game. I can't even begin to describe how much you should get this game.

However, the version I got didn't come with the owner's manual and history. I owned a version for Mac (this versions pc) but the manuals really add a lot the the game. Make sure the copy you buy includes them. Thats my only complaint.

A classic real time strategy game.

Age of empires came out in 1997 and is still a exiting game to play anytime.It is a game that never gets old but can get tedius sometimes.
1.The sound in age of empires is good for its time but now you can notice it is outdated but thats not that big of a deal because its old of course.Some sound is good such as lions growling in the distance but some sounds are obviously canned which is heard in cartoons etc.2.The graphics are solid for a 10 year old game and the citizen modles are 3-d and have good textures.The tedius part of the graphics is when citizens are close to each other or if they are near trees and the end of the map they will get stuck and will not get to their destination.3.There is good value in AOE but the population limit is only 50 but the positive thing about the pop limit is that every other nation has the same thing.There are good game modes for random map like wonder victory but conqest is a little tedius because in order to win you have to destroy every unit instead to destroy a town center.The campiegns are fun and there are many of them but even on easiest they are kinda hard and frustraiting but still have more options than a random map.Creating a scenario is most fun because you can have more than 50 people.For scenario creator you can have a 500 millitary fight on each side and can be very fun and exieting.
Overall AOE is a very good game and I would recommend it to anybody who likes real time stategy game or anybody who likes older history games.

Outdated

I would probably have had more fun if I hadn't used Age of Empire II before this one. Age of Empire II/Conqueror has so many more functionalities. Not having these functionalities requires much more manual 'handling'. For instance, in AOE II, double-clicking on a unit will select all units of that type present on the screen. It wouldn't work with this version, very annoying. I played 15 hours, just to give it a fair chance, then I gave up. The disk will be forgotten in a drawer, too bad.
