Okay, being a devout AOE II fan, I was expecting a lot better. However, I had so many problems installing the game that the excitement I had built up for it when it actually worked collapsed in on itself. The game is nothing new to the genre. The des

I loved AoE II. If you loved Aoe II as well, you will love this game. Great graphics + amazing gameplay + free online gaming = the best strategy game on the market, in my opinion. I absolutely love how the civilizations are balanced but very differen

I love the game. The graphics are great, and I love the addition of home cities. It gives the game another reason to keep playing, as the experience gained in one game will carry over to another. Other leaders can talk to you, which makes the game mo

PROS: New customization for city shipped goods. Customizable home port. Hero abilities slightly customizable. Solid RTS franchise.
CONS: Too focused on short era.(this is the biggie that caused me to trade it in at ebgames) Heroes real-time abilities take turn-based time to strategically implement. Minor graphical glitches. Troop AI needs improvement, but that can be said for almost every

Did Microsoft fire all of it's historical consultants for this installment of the AoE series? The first two games had excellent contextual information for the time setting and locations. I was expecting more of the same, but was disapointed by a...

seeing the MS has the monopoly in the computer OS arena, you would THINK it could churn out better than this! There is not enough to justify taking up shelf space if you have any previous versions of the game.
