5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sequel raises the bar again, February 4, 2007
By S. Weidenbach (Chicago. IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This game is awsome! Very well done. Anyone who has played the previous age of empires should catch on very fast. Even if you havn't played before it won't take long to get the hang of it. I have a 2ghz intel mac and have no problems. Graphics are amazing as well as the gameplay.

5.0 out of 5 stars This surpasses AEII!, March 13, 2007
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This far surpasses Ages of Empire II. This is the game update that should happen for the previous game.
Patience is key, and a few spare hours do not hurt much, either.

I'm more glad I bought this (and waited for it) for MAC than PC.

This game was worth every penny, and even my husband, who is hard to impress, was kinda impressed by how smooth everything played. You really have to admire 17th & 18th century warfare to LOVE this game. A little knowledge about who was ally and who was enemy makes the game all the more fun.....

Enjoy!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, but could have been better, June 26, 2007
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This game continues the AoE tradition with entertaining gameplay, but falls a bit short of my expectations for a new game.



What I liked:

-The new units require more strategy to use than in previous games. You have to have the right unit for the job.

-"Explorer" characters are a nice plus.

-I liked the pioneering peasants that can actually shoot, trade routes and trappers that bring you extra resources



What I did not like:

-The story was a bit cheesy, and flew through 150 years of history and endless geographical locations

-The graphics left a lot to be desired

-The lower-ranking characters still speak globbety-gook to you. "Hull-sahr" "Ahdilluous lookay!"

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a war game, but still great fun!!
This game is great fun if you are interested in fantasy/colonial times or in building towns, villages and empires. If you are looking for a war game, I wouldn't suggest it. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful but Imperfect
I'm really more on the fence about this game than my score indicates. It's really more of a 3.5 than a 4.

4.0 out of 5 stars Toooooo Short
I like the game, but am very disapointed in it's length. I just started to get used to the controls and it's over. I only got it a couple of weeks ago and play it about 2 - 2. Read more
