Great game- easy to learn and very robust! very balanced abilities from each of the kingdoms.. very similar playing style to warcraft II(excellent game).. Age of Kings is worth buying and checking out.. a challenge even for the serious player..

The first Age of Empires was a critical and consumer success, gaining rave reviews and selling over 2 million copies. The first was a success because of the blend of strategy action and historical charcters. The sequel, The Age of Kings, expands on this winning formula, and in doing so, creates the best real time strategy game avaliable on the market. The game focuses on 13 major empires, such as the Persians, Vikings and Japanese. As head of one of these 13 kingdoms, you must defeat your enemies to gain rulership over all the land. This is very fun, being that each race is varried and has different strengths and weaknesses. It is also fun, because each one has a different look to them, the Japanese buildings look much different than the Vikings. The real fun of the game starts when you play the preset historical scenerios. You take control of such historical figures as Joan of Arc, Genghis Khan and William Wallace (ie Braveheart). These are all historically accurate and can help you learn a great deal about the time period. There also is an excellant multiplayer game, featuring the usual deathmatch games, as well as a regicide game, which gives each team a king, and the first one to destory each others king. All of these features add up to the best RTS game on the market for the money. The guide for the game, is also a great value, it retails at 20 dollars and gives you all you would need to know about the game, without spoiling it. All and all, this is the best game you can buy, and you will enjoy it for a long, long time.

One of, if not the best RTS games ever!

I have seen this series progres since AoE I and it has only gotten better. The Learn To Play campaian is great for those new to RTS or the AoE seies. The other campains are great and each one's story is well told. The regicide and deathmatch modes are a great change of pace to the Random Map games. Also, beacuse it's always either the first or second most popular game at the MSN Gaming Zone, you'll never run out of people to beat. The only little problem is that when you tell a villiger to build a mining/lumber camp, they just stand there instead of gathering, but that is fixed in the The Conquerers expansion.

This game is probably the best strategy game in the market because it combines the elements of many good strategy games. It has the city building and management features as well as the army bulding and combat features that are a must for a good strategy game. It allows you to play historically accurate war campaigns as well as random maps between you and the AI. The online feature also allows you to fight people via Microsoft's Gaming Zone. Finally, you can also build your own maps with the scenario editor, and even create your own campaigns with the campaign editor. The gameplay is also easy and allows you to take your own route to victory-using the special troops that each civilization specializes in. The game is great because it allows you to play as any civilization you like, each with special strengths and weaknesses. The troops have formations, and upgrades galore. Thus, this game gets five stars from me, its a must buy for a fan of strategy games. I guarantee youll be playing for at least six months!

Great Game !

After playing it for more than a year, It still make you spend more hours in front of your monitor. Play it against a human and all your evil strategies of war will come out for your best battle.

Hope to see soon an AOE III !!! Come on Microsoft...

Two reasons:

1. I have been playing it for over 6 months almost every other day and I still love it - in 15 years I have never had a game that survived on my pc for that long

2. The number of Civilization combinations, strategies, units, scenarios and terrains make this game more interesting, complex and sophisticated than Chess especially when playing On-Line with other players - yet it is very easy to play

Great Program

I get a chance to play games only once in awhile, but this is a great game. I really enjoy coming back to try it again and again. I would recommend it to anyone who likes the previous civilization games.

Great!

Just as you think that's the last time "Micosoft makes AoE but wait, here comes AoE2. The campigns are neat because you could be
heros like Genghis Khan, Joan of Arc, and more. You can also make
your own maps. In a Random map game you win by getting all relics, construcing a wonder that stands for 200 years, and conquer all enemys. In a Reicide you had to kill you enemys king.
In a Death Match you have lots of wood, food, gold, and stone. You make an army and then fight to the death. Genghis Khan's real name is Temujin. If you want to make your empire the most powerful, you need resoures, find your idle villagers and send them mining stone and gold, gathering sheep, choping wood, fix all the damage your enemy has caused, building
army to defend. Its a war-type game. TRY IT!

Best game in the world
