By A Customer

This review is from: Age of Empires: Unauthorized Game Secrets (Secrets of the Games Series) (Paperback)

this book is well detailed in telling you about units,civilizations and technologies. It's not too good for scenerio or multiplayer tips. Everything mentiond you can get from Age's help index

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy this book!, April 20, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Age of Empires: Unauthorized Game Secrets (Secrets of the Games Series) (Paperback)

Of all possible money wasters, This takes the cake. The manual tells you literally everything there is in the book, with an exeption of maybe 1 or 2 details per tech. This book is not worth buying, and is what i'd call a waste of time. The stragetys are not good, the 'highly detailed tactics' are VERY predictiable, by any gamer's standards, and you could learn just as much, and more by slipping into a gamer's forum, or a gamers chat room. i would like to give this book 0 stars, but it dosen't let me... Please... dont waste your time on this book.

This review is from: Age of Empires: Unauthorized Game Secrets (Secrets of the Games Series) (Paperback)

This book is poorly written and poorly edited. I learned more about AOE from the software box. Save your money everyone.
