- Fun, durable and grows with your children
Many have talked about the gameplay; I won't repeat that here. I do want to talk about the educational aspect of this game. I have a 9 year old and a 7 year old; the former has been playing this game for 18 months, the latter for 6.

Both children keep returning the to game again and again. What is pleasing is that they both are getting better. They discuss strategy and tactics (intelligently). They have read the books on how to improve. They are both aware of the different unit strengths, and of the idea of building an army to defeat another specific army.

The elder is now able to recite the strengths and weaknesses of each nation in this (and actually the expansion pack). This is the game they still come back to 3 times a week or more.

In contrast most gameboy 'shoot em up' type games get played then ditched inside 4 weeks.

The point is not what my children can do; it is that this is a very deep game that can be got into easily but will not loose their interest.

Most recently the 'scenario' editor has become a favourite. This allows them to set up battles and puzzles and problems for the other to figure out. This has added cartography to the other skills they are learning.

The other fascinating feature is that the 'AI' (computer players) are themselves programmable. In fact their are whole websites devoted to writing scripts for the computer players. This has allowed me to produce opponents for them that behave in strange ways; giving them new problems to overcome.

However, the #1 reason this game endures is that it is quite easy to run over our home network. Thus the children can play a computer game TOGETHER. This alleviates my main issue with computer games (that they tend to make people insular).

In short, this computer program rivals the bicycle as an endurable, ever interesting, extremely high value 'toy'; at least in the eyes of the Bayliss boys.

Very highly recommended.

- IT WAS OKAY
This game was fun for awhile, but I enjoy faster paced strategy games better. (Stronghold, C&C) The graphics were great for their time, but show their age now. The sound is pretty good. The gameplay, as mentioned above, is not my style, so I didn't like it much. Overall a 3 out of 5.

- Still a fun one.
I admit, AOE is now kind of an oldie, but it's still a fun game. I played Age of Mythology in a store once, but I still like this one better. Granted, there are some annoying aspects to Kings, such as replanting farms one at a time. Also, if you use a group of villagers to do a task, you have click each one at a time to spread them out. The Conquerors expansion corrects all this (see my review). You can get both Kings and Conqs in the Gold Edition. The games are old enough that they should work on just about every computer. For parents, the blood and gore is so miniscule it's nothing to worry about. This is an easy game to learn, and a fun one to play. Check it out!

- A Poor Sequel
I bought this game because I really like the first one. This one doesn't compare. The maps are darker, the movement stilted and clumsy. There are some good additions to game play, but the scenes and population are inferior IN USE, if not to the eye. I was really disappointed.
