Before I tried this game, I never liked strategy games. Now strategy is my favorite genre and Age of Kings is my favorite game. This game has been on my computer longer than any other game, ever. Age of Kings puts you in the throne of a king, there are just so many different things you can do, exploring all its features will take you months! This game is easy to learn and anyone can master it. Five stars no doubt!
Great War Game. Many hours of Play

Age of Empires II is a great game and now that it is an older game the price has really dropped. I saw new copies for $13!!! What a deal! Many, many hours of play. You won't get boring of this game for a long, long time. Wyatt Kaldenberg
The KING of all games!

My 9 year old grandson said this about his gift from us: "It is an exhilarating game! I like it very much because it is so challenging. It is extremely realistic and I recommend it to anyone who is fascinated by history and likes battling games to get this imeediately because it is an excellent game." ( I totally agree with him! )

Age of empires 2: the age of kings is all about building a small town and defending it against the computer or a friend if you play it online. You create the army that'll protect your village, and you can send the army to go fight the enemy. All in all a fun and adictting game.

Unlike the Civilization series Age of Empires is a real-time stragegy game, forcing you to think fast. It's for gamers who have brains. :)
Awesome.

This is a very very impressive game. It has very detailed graphics and movements, with all of the mountains and forests and rivers for scenery, and people moving about. You build up armies, get gold and food, explore places, ect. You find yourself side, by side with William Wallace and Joan of Arc. You go to far away places from Jerusalem to Scotland to China. There is always excitement and challanges, and you have to either read guidelines or develope your own tactics. At the same time, you learn history, not through school text books, but by fighting for freedom, home, or power. The story campaigns are easy to follow and each game has a goal. This game giveexpresses great dignity and honor to history and historical figures, and I'm not kidding. What more can I say? This great way to develope skill, have fun, and learn patriotism. Enter this game, see cool sights, build armies, and have fun!!!
Best Game Ever! EVER!!!

... I still love it... Yep... That long ago. I have always loved the Age of Empires series (the first game and expansion took place when the Romans were in power) and continue to just as much. I have always loved playing this single player until earlier this year I got broadband, wireless, and a shiny new laptop... Two of my friends who also appreciate the fantabulousagant Age of Empires series come over and we play together on the LAN. Sometimes we play 2 vs. 1, all 3 vs. the Computer (who we give an advantage... Of course) and no matter which way we do it it is so much fun. The game includes a lot of different civilizations each with their own special unit. There are a few different game modes you can play like Conquest, King of the Hill, Wonder, and more. This is one of my favorite games and probably will continue to be until either they release a new one... Or something...
Entertaining

This game is a great buy because unlike many other programs, you can play it over and over again without tiring of it. There are also expansion packs which is always nice because it brings new aspects to a game. Age of Empires is by far one of my favorite games ever!
