This game is all about strategy. Not like Starcraft where you just blow stuff up to win. Theres several other ways to win then just blowing stuff up. You can get all the relics and win in 300 years (20 minutes) or build a Wonder and win in 300 years. You can get archers and slowly kill the enemy with pain or get elephants and rip the enemy apart. This game I recomend to all gamers

AOE2 is much harder than the first. I am a DM player that plays online and am used to being able to rush within a few minutes and winning. AOE 2 is different, it's an awesome game but hard to rush.
GREAT GAME

Age of Empires 2. A simple name, but not a simple game. Vast armies help you conquer the land with ancient empires to control. This game deserves game of the year. It has stunning graphics, awsome game and replay value. This game will take a while to top.

Age of empires 2 is the best RTS or game I have ever played,
First I had the orginal AOE then got persuaded to buy AOE2 and
now I am hooked on it!
The best thing about AOE2 is the gameplay and the wide range of chooses you can make, different technolgies, different unit
and great AI management. There was a great improvemnt in AI,
in AOE the AI was like playing with a dead person, when you
want to have some tribute, your allies never give you
any. But in AOE2 the AI player ask or send tribute, sometimes
they ask for certain amount of tribute and then they turn into
your! The gameplay is great so much options to choose from
like changing diplomacy, setting attacking mode, making formations and trading.
The graphics was one of the best in RTS, the units the buildings are all very finely detailed. Especially the scale
between the buildings and units. It's like real life! The campaigns were great, I can tell many more but...
but if you liked the orginal and cossacks you would definitely
love Age Of Empires 2.
BUY THIS GAME!

My Dad bought this game because Starcraft was getting old, and when I started playing I was blown away! This game has so many factors that it takes strategy to win the levels. You have four reasouces: wood, food, gold, and stone, instead of other games in which you only have two resources. The graphics aren't great but they are pretty good for a top view game. When you are playing you have four ages (or stages) the Dark Age, the Fuedal Age, the Castle Age, and the Imperial Age. With an age change you get more warriors, buildings, and upgrades. Plus there is tons of civilizations with their own unique warriors and upgrades. Overall this is the best war game you can buy!
A great game
