Summary: Although not well known, a great real-time stragity game.
Review: ---GENERAL---
Age of Empires is a real-time stragity game where you control a civilization and have to turn it into an empire. You start with a shappy building and a man dressed in deer skin, and upgrade, build, and reaserch into an empire.---GRAPHICS---
The graphics are OK, but could use some work. They do have good things when a villager is working, or a catapult catapulting, but not that impressive. From 1 to 10, I would rate the graphics 4. ---MULTIPLAYER GAMING---
I have 9 words about this. DO NOT PLAY MULIPLAYER WITH A SLOW INTERNET CONNECTION. It is painfull. The players go VERY slow and do not have a chance at winning. Unless you have a DSL or LAN, do NOT use multiplayer. ---MAP CREATING---
The Map Maker is a very good addition to AOE. It has the normal units and buildings, as well as special units that can only be made from the Map Maker. Overall, I would rate the map maker 8. ... Thank you! I hope this review was helpful, and if not, I appoligize!

Summary: A classic game!
Review: Age Of Empires is a classic strategy game. It was one of the first I'd ever bought, and I got hooked. I have played every possible scenario and made a hundred scenarios myself.
Everything about this game is brilliant - the campaigns are great, the random map is cool but my absolute favourite part of the game is the death match - I LOVE how you get 10,000 wood, gold, stone and food, it means you don't need to gather supplies you just can get right into building up your army.
My favourite thing to do in any match, is kill off the enemy. I just love destroying everything! I'm not happy unless everything is destroyed.
I like playing multiplayer and making my own scenarios (it's a laugh writing in the instructions and hints etc), but it gets kind of boring after awhile. But this doesn't draw away from the game itself.
I love all the units, all the buildings and I'm in LOVE with the music. The soundtrack to this game is AMAZING. I love to use cheats I get off the net, it makes the game even more fun.
Overall, a CLASSIC game that every strategy game enthusiast needs to play or own at one stage.

Summary: Best game in the world
Review: Age of Empires is on of the best games in the world. You can make your very own Roman city. Your goal is to defeat other cities using your military that you made. There are many other ways you can win. Age of Empires is a lot like Sim City but better. Try other reviews. If you think it will be a good game to have buy it or you can try to find the demo Age of Empires and try it out before you buy it.

Summary: Simply Beautiful
Review: Age of Empires, in my view, is a perfect strategy game. What else can you expect from the creators of DOS, Windows 3.1, 95, 98 and 2000 (That would be Microsoft of course :)) Ok we'll start with the playabilty. I don't think there's any game or series I have played more than AoE. The possibilites are endless... what about a deathmatch with victory conditions set to conquest for a huge game. Add a little twist... pick large islands for your map type and barricade your island by building watch towers and a wall all around it. Oh, and then build up a mighty fleet of juggernauts (ships) and attack by sea. Or how about choosing eight player mode and allying with a few of them, then unselecting the Fixed Positions option and placing your civilization next to your allies. For a touch of reality why not play Persians versus Greeks? I could go on forever... Then we have graphics and audio. The graphics are beautiful, the objects are solid so you don't get that annoying "soldier walking right through tree" effect. This game is not new so that's quite an achievement. The colors are bright, not dull or depressing. Audio, well could be better. The units' vocabulary is limited to gibberish like "Hamas" and "Hoyo". But I guess that's because they're prehistoric and don't have languages. AoE 2 fixes that problem with real phrases from over a dozen languages. Repetitive backround music plays continuously. What else? As it is not new, it runs perfectly without 3DFX, and a Pentium 200 PC is more than enough. A fast CD Rom is personally recommended because it used to freeze up for a couple of seconds occasionally. As for the CONS I'd have to say: The population limit. The limited audio. The initial difficulty of moving through the Ages. That's it. Get this game if you like strategy!!

Summary: A Great Figure it out game
Review: Age of the Empires is a great game that always challenges your skills as a gamer. You can't use petty cheat codes and gaming logic in this game. You have to use your brain (I know using your brain is scary at first, but don't worry, this game will fix that). A must must for all intelligent (laymen's terms=smart) gamers.

Summary: Simulator Games.... This is exciting... more than others...
Review: All these simulator games continue to come out but only one will remain less complicated. I called that Age of Empires. Don't know anything about the past of conquering and empires? Easy then. All you have to do for one easy game is attack the Greek if your the Egyptians and take over there government. Usually it is supposed to take a while and if you gain more points then the Greek, you'll be fine. Also you can play with a friend or with someone you don't know by using Zone.com from MSN, aka Microsoft. You can also do campaigns. Another thing you can do is be the Persians, Mongols, Chinese, Greek, Egyptian, Korean, even more or just create your own tribe and call it anything you want. The game isn't tough and for people like me who like the Conquering age, you'll like this game. Isn't like Civilization and Casear games which are complicated. So go ahead and buy Age of Empires today.
WARNING: Age of Mythology is pretty useless. The Gods make no sense. Most of the game is made up rather than Age of Empires. Try the expansion packs if you want more action from a game maker like Microsoft Games...

Summary: A Must Have For The Strategy Lover
Review: Aoe is a great game for any strategy lover.you have to balance economy with military which provides an altogether GREAT GAME!. You can choose between starting out with 3 villagers and a town center and building a great empire or starting out with TONS of recources and fight the other players to the death. it does have its flaws like every time your farm runs out of food you have to stop whatever you are doing to build it up again or you tell one of your scouts(horses) to go up the map and you come back ten minutes later and you find your scout stuck in the trees.But even with the flaws I still highly recommend this game.

Summary: got to be smart...
Review: AOE is the best strategy game I own. I play it all the time, and still love it. Contrary to what the online review says, I think this is a great game for anyone that likes strategy. The only flaw I can think of is that certain things happen really slowly, but otherwise it's great.
