Seriously, you will love this game. It's not too hard for beginners because there are 5 difficulties and a fun tutorial. You manage your empire from every perspective whether it is diplomacy, economy, military, etc. Go buy this game.

This game is cooool.

I have owned this game for over 2 years and when I first got it, it was all I could think about. Of course that's how I am with every new game I purchased recently, (Nov 2004-Feb 6) I have been obsessing about Halo PC. After beating a few campaigns, I began to tire of playing this game. A couple of times I played online with my pals but it was still boring. What I find most frustrating is that you can't attack while running. COME ON! WHY DOES SOMEONE ON HORSE HAVE TO STOP EVERY TIME THEY WANT TO TAKE A SWIPE AT SOMEONE? The other thing that bothers me is that the only way to heal someone is by having a monk come do some voodoo magic of some sort. The graphics are good compared to most strategy games, I find myself wanting something that might make my video card work a little harder, if ya know what I mean. The funnest think to do in this game is to play it on easy and then just slaughter the enemy with a huge army of long bowmen, cavalry, siege weapons, and champions. It's fun to watch as empires tumble before you. I hope I don't sound to malicious, I would never allow this to happen in real life, this of course is just a bunch of pixels with mediocre AI that I am destroying. For the following reasons I did not give this game 5 stars:
1. Boring after a few weeks
2. Multiplayer is extremely hard to make work because you have to go to MSN or Yahoo gaming or something like that and half the time, you can't get it to work.
3. Mediocre graphics
4. Lots of annoying little things

If Microsoft makes an Age of Empires 3 of some sort, I will be sure to buy it, even if it is only as good as Age of Empires Gold.

Gold edition??????????

Aren't gold editions supposed to have both the age of kings and the expansion kit for a cheaper price? Just got my game, and when installing, the game complains that without Age of Kings installed that the conquerors expansion kit cannot install. I called Microsoft support and told them that I am installing a gold edition, and they said that gold editions only include the expansion kit for double the price. Never mind that both this Amazon and Microsoft site says that the gold edition includes both. Thank you Bill Gates. I guess he is trying to recoup some of the losses at the stock market....
I wan't my money back. Don't buy anything microsoft.

From fighting off wild animals to saving your village from enemys trying to spill your blood across all the land. if you like RTS games then youll love this. what are you doing, stop reading and buy!!!!

It is a great game you can be almost anybody you can think of in the middle ages. If there was only 1 computer game I could play it would be this.The small problem is that it is very hard to set up multi player. I have failed to do so in having this game for 2 years.

Great War Games with great add-ons. Good deal!

Age of Empire II is a great improvement over Age of Empires I, albeit, Age of Empires I is still good. AoE I starts with the stone age and goes up to the Dark Ages. AoE II starts out at the Middle Ages and goes to the industral age. The game set is a great deal and would make a good Yule present. Wyatt Kaldenberg

Combined education and fun. LOTS!!!

This is a great set. It comes with two cds. The origional and the expansion. This game is even more fun if you play on line against other people. Or you can make your own game against the computer on a number of different maps. Control their difficulty. Change the map size or just play thier campigns.
They also have many civilizations to pick from. You could be the Vikings, Japanese, Spanish, Goths, Britons, Chinese, Saracens and more. While playing you have fun while also learning. They even have a history book built into the game that tells you the militant history of each civilization.

This game was off the HOOK

This game is a must buy. You have definitely have to buy this game. It is now one of my favorite games. That is besides Halo, F-Zero GX, Enter the Matrix, and The Sims Unleashed.
This is a must buy for gaers who are into strategic games.
