Amazon.com Review:
Before Age of Empires 2 there was Age of Empires, which still stands as one of the most popular real-time strategy games of all time. Set in ancient instead of feudal times, Age of Empires lets players guide one of a dozen civilizations with various strengths and weaknesses through a variety of campaigns and single scenarios.

The civilizations are diverse, running the gamut from the Assyrians to the Persians to the Yamato, and each can be played from its Stone Age roots to the epoch of its greatest achievements. This is one of the few games in this genre that lets players choose either an aggressive path or a more peaceful defensive course of action, as it is possible to win many games by defending your border and building an expensive Wonder of the World.

Overall, the game's graphics are very good, but special mention must be made of the animations. At last, horses move like horses, elephants move like elephants, and even the sight of a villager chopping wood looks realistic. Battles can get a little out of hand since the game lacks military formation controls, but they are a sight to behold nonetheless.

Should you tire of the single-player challenges, Age of Empires is still very popular online. It isn't hard to join a multiplayer game at nearly any time of day. Be sure to grab the latest patch, which lets you build many more units and is necessary for playing online. Even if you already have Age of Empires 2, don't miss out on the game that started it all. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

Good graphics--especially the unit animations
Many ways to win
Still popular online

Cons:

Needs a patch to achieve true greatness
Would be more fun if civilizations had bigger differences

Amazon.com Product Description:
How will you rule the world? Conquer enemy civilizations? Discover the world's secrets? Accumulate wealth? As the guiding spirit of a Stone Age tribe, follow one of these paths to build the greatest civilization on earth. Age of Empires is a real-time strategy game, spanning ten thousand years, in which players are the guiding spirits in the evolution of a small Ice Age tribe. Starting with minimal resources, players are challenged to build their tribes into great civilizations and choose from one of several ways to win the game, including world domination by conquering enemy civilizations, exploration of the "known" world, and economic victory through the accumulation of wealth.

This computer game was originally shown as one of the top games to buy on the Today Show. It is a great game for teens and adults. Combines fun, statagy and history. Beware, it can be addictive! hee hee.

- Fun for All Ages
I'm a big fan of Age of Empires, and it's a real time strategy worth playing. Great design, great historical bits at the start and end of levels, great soundtrack too, and the multiplayers always fun, especially on custom made scenarios. You get to play one of twelve ancient races, (Choson, Shang, Yamato, Babylonian, Hittite, Persian, Assyrian, Egyptians, Sumerian, Greek, Minoan & Phoenicians), pick berries, build houses, hunt animals, pay tribute to allies and fight enemies on foot, horse and ...

- Fun game, no high requirements
This is one of the best classics game I've ever had. This game is released years ago, yet this game is still a fun game to play today.

This game's requirements are not high and this game can be installed on slower PCs or laptops. If you like this game, you may want to add the expansion pack available to enhance the features on this game.

- A great game that won't lose it's appeal
I have had AOE for over a year now, and it is still the only computer game I ever play. I'm not going to spend an hour explaining what you can do with this game, because from what you've read from the other reviews, it would be redundant. But, even if AOE isn't as complicated and doesn't have the 3D graphics, when compared to the Sims in hours of fun and price, who wouldn't want a game that's just if not more fun and $30-$40 less expensive? Buy it now, you won't regret it! (Even though it IS a Microsoft ... Read More
