I gave this game to my grandson for Christmas. He loves it. The item was exactly as advertised and it was delivered a few days after I placed the order.

Decent, but crashes

This is a good game for RTS. Unfortunately it crashes about every third game I play. It's frustrating enough that I would recommend not buying it. BTW I have a new macbook pro.

Pricey, convoluted story

I won't cover the same ground given by other reviewers: it's a great game, and follows on nicely from AOE2 and AOM.

My problem is that there's only one story arc included in the game, and it's kinda convoluted in a "renaissance fair" sort of way. It would have been better to have three or four shorter campaigns which referred to actual history than just that one rather lame alternate history campaign.

Of course, they want you to buy the other stories for $30 a pop, which currently brings the total to a whopping $90. Just for a game! That'll buy me a pair of tyres for my car and I'll get more mileage out of them! Or heck, just get the full Windows version with Asian Dynasties and Warlords expansions for $35 and use Bootcamp! (You... do have a legit copy of XP lying around and 15GB of spare drive space, don't you?)

Amazing strategy game!

Age of Empires is the best strategy/war game ever!
But you gonna need time to play.. coz takes some hours to play..! you know, until you make an army and kill you oponent..
but is very fun! and try the multiplayer game, and we will see if you have the best strategy.....
hope helped you.

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. It's pretty basic strategies that win this game and most of it has to do with economics and improving your village, not your army (although that has something to do with it obviously). In the previews they show large armies with columns and rows of soldiers and stuff...yeah that doesn't happen, I mean, unless you spend a while organizing them to march in formation or something. The fighting is not visually satisfying, I guess is what I'm saying. But if you don't mind that, or if you like the Sims games but you've always wanted more control or like colonial times, horses and forests better than cities, houses and cars, than this is for you.

If that is the case, than this game is a blast! The strategies are pretty easy to pick up and the visuals are amazing!

One complaint I have and part of the reason why this is four stars instead of five is that I still can't figure out how to switch between countries. I can only play as the British. I want to play the spanish or the dutch or something! And the menus are a little hard to navigate. Other than that, I would highly suggest it.
