Customer Reviews

Making History Solid game. I have played the series ever since the first Age of Empires came out. The game has evolved and this game attempted to add a little role playing elements to the strategy. I was very happy with the overall content, options, and scenarios. These games have always been interesting to me since they offer a glimpse into history. Sure they are not the actual history, but it is fun playing through your what if? scenarios. My young son has really caught on to the series also and enjoys it. At the end of the day, it makes for some interesting dinner conversations about history, the importance of a strong economy, defending your territoy and expanding it to sustain your population growth. Bottomline, this is a great opportunity to learn/teach your kids about history and small elements of culture and society in a very fun way. best of all, its on their terms. If you are just out to have fun and be a total tyrant, you can do that to. i love this series. One of the best PC Strategy Games My son originally bought this game about 1 and 1/2 years ago. He has been playing almost every day since. It not only has unique strategy involved but, as a parent, I look for the educational parts of games. This game has a section (accessible by the main menu) which includes historical detailing on every unit, building, and location. There are also campaigns that allow players to learn some of what life was like in those times. I would recommend this game to anyone. Ok. Not that great. I was expecting something more and better, having played with Ages of Empires 1, but it wasn't really what I expected.
