I can't say enough great things about Age II. It's the best real time strategy game available right now. Internet play is a breeze and quite interesting with shifting allies and enemies. You can't go wrong if you like the real time games like Command and Conquer or Starcraft. Buy it!
The game

Many people will argue about which RTS game is better b/w AoE2 and StarCraft; well, if you go for the middle ages kind of thing, this is your game. It's very well made, and gets really addictive when you are starting to get good at it. ...go buy it and experience it.
Loads of Fun until...

I saw the gold edition of this game at a store, and bought it because I'd heared how much fun it was. And fun it certainly was!
You start with a few villagers and a town center, and work your way thru 4 different ages, each one has more options than the previous one, and you (hopefully) become the ruler of a powerful civalization. You can be one of many different civalizations, including the Turks, Goths, Vikings, Celts, and, (in the expansion) the Mayans, Aztects, Huns-you get the idea. Each one is unique- they each have a different unique unit, and some can't research certain technologies that the others can.
The gameplay is good- you make your villagers build buildings, forage for food, mine for stone & gold, etc. Then you can create military units from different buildings - barracks, archery range, stable, siege workshop, and unique units at the castle. This game is also relatively easy to learn!
This game gets boring only after you get good at it, and then it seems to be the same sort of thing over and over again--the computer players always play the same way, etc.
But don't get me wrong, this is a great game - I would have given it 4 & 1/2 stars if I'd had the option.
Awsome game

This is the kind of game that you must play when you're stressed. Just pick up your favourite civilization and ravage your enemies' towns! Some people wrote that you need more than 100 Mb of memory... It's false. I play it on my good ol' PC with 64 Mb of memory and runs pretty smooth. If you love strategy games, do not think it twice. Buy it right now!
The only mistake is the buildings from Middle East. The byzantines did not have those type of mills! Also, they do not have any mosques. They were Christians! Those are the only mistakes.
An excellent choice

Age of Empires II has been always my best game ever. I bought the collector's edition about 5 or 6 years ago and played it almost every week. Last year, I found out that someone had stolen the Age of Empires II CD and I had to stop playing as the game needs the CD in order to run. I decided to buy it from Amazon and I got more than I have bargained for; I was expecting only one single CD of Age of Empires II but I got the whole collection (Age of Empires I, II, Conquerors). I am really happy with the product.
