This game is amazing! I would say the best civilization is the byzanianites. Tip: before building an army, have lots of villagers working on ressources.

If you're a fan of RTS, you have to get this game. The large number of technologies, units, and building types makes this a really deep and entertaining game. The quality of the maps is great, and the AI is challenging. This is a must buy for any fan of the genre!

Well i must say Age of Empires 2 was created in 1999 and now in 2012 im still playing this incredibly deep and expansive game.... says a lot doesn't it??

I really like playing this game. Since I got it, it is all I want to play. I would recommend it to boys of a similar age like myself. (11-14 years).

1. Farmers start a new farm once the old one is done, you can queue. any one who ever played AOE-I knows how great that is :).
2. The addition of Gates makes for nice Castle building
3. Villagers automatically start a new task when they finish a work type building (granary, storage, town center)
4. UNIT FORMATIONS!!! my personal favorite only second to the Farm queue. It adds a whole new dimension to battle tactics. huge improvement from AOE-I
5. Advanced unit commands. Follow, Protect, Patrol, they just make this game so much nicer.
6. the ability to toggle around to your inactive (we'll call it that) villagers. "where's my whip"

All this improvements have the feel of AOE developers playing their own game and saying "gee wouldn't it be nice if we had this" they realy polished this game. It belongs in anyone's greatest games list. Easy!

I used to love Age of Empires but it got prety boring by year two. The map editor is fun to use. But the internet multiplayer requires you to have the same version of Age of Empires, and the same system (Mac/Window) as the person you are playing with. The bottom line is buy this only if you have some buddies that have this too.

I must put my hands together to Microsoft for producing this game, for it has kept me going for months (from the 25th December 2003 to the 31st of May (and that was because I got a new game!)). Two of the ongoeings of the best game ever made makes this the best stragity game pack money can buy!

I would truelly say that this was one of the greatest games ever created for Pc. Microsoft deserves praise for this stradegy game. I recommend this game to anyone who loved Red Alert or Sim City. Please check it out.

This game is MUCH better than civilization 3!!! It features close up action, about 100 war units, and new cheats!

I think that this is one of my favorite computer games in the whole wide world. I think that anyone who likes action games and likes building their own cities & villages, will like this game. I think that people who like the Sim City games, and like medieval fighting games, will love this one. It is a lot of fun planning out how you're going to build your civilization into an empire and upgrade your army,navy,etc. This game is honestly going to be an all-time CLASSIC!!
