This is simply the best strategy game. Beautifully designed and just plain fun to play. Also the historical overtones are a plus. This is all before you learn to create your own scenarios in the Map Editor thats included.

Honestly, I believe that this packaging was made for parents who've heard their kids say the words "I want AGE OF EMPIRES", and who, unfamiliar with the series, will think that more is better.

Truth is, once you play AOE II and its expansion pack, "The Conquerors", you'll stick with that version. The original AOE (and its "Rise of Rome" expansion pack) will just gather dust. It's not that AOE and "Rise of Rome" are bad games. Obviously, they're great games--which is why AOE was one of the highest-selling PC games ever. But the improvements made in AOE II and "The Conquerors" mean that game is simply more fun. Make no mistake: it's no bargain that you're getting AOE and "The Rise of Rome" along with AOE II. These are units Microsoft simply couldn't sell after AOE II came out.

Still, it's possible this double-pack is priced right. The list price of this Collector's Edition is exactly the same as the list on AOE II and "The Conquerors" combined. Essentially, Microsoft is throwing the two older titles in for free. However, Microsoft very frequently offers rebates when buying any of these titles separately. As far as I know, this Collectors Edition offers no such rebate. I'd therefore highly recommend that you see whether any rebate promotions are currently being offered by Microsoft before buying this Collector's Edition. If there aren't any, go ahead and get this Collector's Edition. But if there's a rebate, you really are better off buying just AOE II and "The Conquerors" separately--and putting the rebate in the bank.

Every Computer Game Player Should Own This

This is one of the best strategy games that I have ever played. It goes right along the side of Starcraft. Although if you buy this you will be hooked to The Conquerers Expanision the most, the others in the pack are fun to play as well. The gameplay is the greatest and if you are someone who has to win all the time I wouldn't recommend this because sometimes you will lose. Even when you lost occasionally it is still a fun and addictive game.

Age of empires collectors edition is the best game I have ever played! It' so realistic not like other games which has no realisim. Even though The price is $60.00 buying in a collectors editio buying all the games individualy will cost you over $160.00 BIG ONES so save more than twice as much money. And the game makes you think alot about decision you make because for every decision comes with a consequence so your brain builds strong thinking skill. I'd buy it if I were you. You will love this game!
