Introduction

In Microsoft's Age of Empires (developed by Ensamble Studios), you are charged with the daunting task of building your own empire. This requires a balance of many factors, and with many things to be done you will find yourself needing to do a bit of micro management. If you... Read full review »

Build Rome In Less Than A Day

Pros Improved maps, game play, civilizations and scenarios
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

Recently receiving Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome expansion disc was a welcome surprise. Having played the original Age of Empires virtually non-stop for the past three months I was thrilled to try something new. With very few games in my collection and a preference for real-time strategy... Read full review »

A Game Fit For An Emperor

75 Helpfuls 76 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Outstanding historically based, role-playing game
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

No subtle hints from me that's for sure. I must have said one hundred times or more in the weeks leading to Christmas how much I enjoy historical role-playing games. I probably even said how fantastic Age Of Empires is, and what consistently good reviews the game received from numerous PC gaming... Read full review »

Pros Fun Gameplay, multiplayer
Cons Graphics can be improved, need more units
Recommended it? Yes

Here are the facts: Age of Empires was a great game when it first came out. It is a lot of fun too. But compared to recent games such as its sequel, it doesn't quite measure up.
This is the latest in the genre of real time strategy games, this time from Microsoft. The game is very similar to... Read full review »

Pros many different play levels, some historic facts, fun
Cons comic book death
Recommended it? Yes

My son bought this game a couple of weeks ago with his Birthday money. At first I just watched a few times - looks interesting. Then I sat down and tried to help my youngest play. Then I got hooked! This game is VERY addicting. I always tell myself I'm only going to spend a 1/2 hour playing, and it... Read full review »

Pros Good graphics, easy to learn, history lesson in progress
Cons Addicting and time consuming
Recommended it? Yes

Ages of empires can be a very addicting game. You start out with a village, and build up your civilization through many ages. i.e. wood to stone age and up. You manage your village and its population. You have to provide food shelter and education for your villagers. (Be careful not to run out of... Read full review »

Pros Historically accurate
Cons Seems to be easier than the previous release
Recommended it? Yes

Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome is one of the best expansions I have ever seen on a strategy game. Still, as much as I like it, it has both strong and weak points. I'll start with the positive stuff about it.

First, the artificial intelligence is greatly improved over the first game. No... Read full review »

I loved this game from the moment I set eyes on it.

bydiversityink Dec 15, 1999
32 Helpfuls 33 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Hours of fun, scenario builder makes for even more fun, very easy to configure for LAN
Cons Too many cheat codes
Recommended it? Yes

While learning the ins and outs of the game may be fairly daunting, isn't that what makes a good game? Difficulty?

Once you get the hang of it though, it becomes a lot of fun. Who can outthink who? Should I attack him now while he doesn't have a lot of people, or build up my tech and... Read full review »

Pros Lots of different ways to play
Cons VERY time consuming
Recommended it? Yes

Age of Empires started out as a bane to me because one of my friends was always playing it when I called him. I could hear it over the phone, and kept asking him what channel he was watching. At last, I got a copy for myself and found out why he was in the game all the time.

This game is... Read full review »

Pros Awesome opening graphics
Cons Gets very boring
Recommended it? Yes

I got Age Of Empires along with my computer. I didn't know what to expect. I put in the cd and was amazed by the opening graphics. The scenes of war and battle got me hooked immediately. When I started to play, it took a while to learn, but I found it extremely fun to do.

After that I was... Read full review »
