This one game represents the way PC is so incredible. This came out a while ago and it still is one of my favorites. I find it challenging. Microsoft Gaming Zone is getting really great too so you don't have to worry about it being to complex. You will become hooked and be a quick Real time strategy fan. This one is an Up-All-Nighter for you gamers. If you are into RTS or no... get this game.

====================================//
A great game that will last you a long
time, I think this is good for beginners
and has plenty of options. It is a great
game with plenty of units and stuff. It
has different countries and things like
that. It will last you for ages because
of the huge campaigns and stuff it also
is quite addictive,especially with the
cheats. You have to do things like: Forage
for berries, hunt animals, mine gold and stone
and also trade items to build your city up. You
can upgrade weapons and things like that. You
can build walls and watchtowers to keep intruders
out and so on... I reccommend this to anyone who
likes Real Time Strategy. 9.5/10 :)

When I first bought Age of Empires: Golden Edition, I thought that it was going to be "just another computer game". How very wrong I was. This game turned out to be the funnest and most exciting game I had ever played. It is amazing at all of the things that you can do, and is a true strategy game. This game is very realistic, and actually teaches you a little bit of history without you even knowing it (although nobody would buy this game for a history lesson). I say that this game is a must buy, and if I were you, I would get it in a second.

This is the coolest game I have ever played. With all the resources and the rush to get a wonder the game goes very fast, but with all the technology it becomes and awesome game. I recomend that you do not try to find cheats though, because it ruins the game. The only way to not be cheated out of the real fun is to not cheat. But don't take my word for it, buy it!

THIS GAME IS GREAT. The graphics are perfect. this game is real fun cause you can play over the zone against other pepz....warning: this game is REAL boreing against the computer. There are seige wepons that are good and annoys the opponent but you most likely will not use much of it but the computer over does it. that is really the only thing i can think of that is bad about this. what is real good about this game is that the gameplay is easy and fun..you feel like you never want to stop,(well that is an other case if you are playing the comp) the campignes are fun but i really dont care for them. they seem to be just something to add for pepz to think the game is not stupid for not having something for you learn how the tribe rose to be a empire.if you are a fan of red alert you will probably like it. the only thing deffrent between the two is that one is all out action and haveing no economical strategy what so ever and that it is not in ancient times. age of empires is a mix of an econmical game and a milatay strategy game. over all this game is real fun(remeber the game is FUN
WHEN PLAYIN ON THE ZONE but is awful against the computer)

This is probably my favorite PC game of all time. After about a month of enjoying the game in single player, I got board. I then discovered you could play this game online against other people on the Microsoft Gaming Zone, where you can join clans, make friends, and just have fun. The multiplayer part of this game allowed me to have a year's more of great gameplay. A great game! I definetely would recommend it!

If you you spend little time with your family, or need to "get things done"...stay away from Age of Empires because this is the most amazing, entertaining, and of course the most addictive game in existence. I'll tell you how AOE changed my gaming experience. I used to be a video game fan, and disdayned pc games as boring, slow passed and silly. As with most console games, skill is directly proportionall to the speed of your fingers as you press the bottoms in the control pad, nothing more. Well, in AOE skill is measured in terms of intelligence. I yet have to find a review that makes justice to this game. I will try to achieve that here. Some people say that AOE becomes boring in the long run because it is impossible to win: "the computer is to hard to beat." Well, they could not bee any more right, and wrong at the same time! I spent my first month playing AOE 24/7 just to learn all the technologies, unit attributes, and civilizations by playing campaigns and random maps. Two months after I became frustrated being still unable to beat the computer on a regular basis. So I lost interest and went back to play Tekken 3. But one day a friend came over and beated 6 computers by himself in front of me, and set to hardest difficulty! Wow I was amazed, he used hot keys, he knew some great strategies to move trough ages and technologies rapidly, he managed his economy amazingly and organize his army for an efficient kill! The computers were no match. "I must know your secrets my friend!!!"...well, he just told me to play in the zone: www.zone.com/aoe And let me tell you that was when my aoe experience begun. AOE is a multiplayer game, far superior to star craft, Age of Empires 2 (which I also own to my regret), Age of Conquerors and any other strategy game, or just any other game. period. It is impossible to summarize all the strategies involved. And this is because AOE is a game that evolves, people come out with new strategies, there is no fix set of rules. Sounds weird I know, all you can do is get the game, get on the zone and play. Don't worry about being a newbie, people will show you how to play. Then all you gotta do is improve and invent ;) Well, today I have been playing almost everyday for over a year and guess what? I am still thrilled by it, just like that hundreds of people I play with/against in the zone every day. And also, I can beat the computers so easily now that it is not even funny.

I think that its an outrage that they [the makers of AOE] only made the software only have a max of 50 houses. The only thing that didn't give this 4 stars is the supersweet codes you can get. I mean like the code big daddy gives you a sweet convertable with a rocket lancher.That's all and thank you =-)
P.S. The code big mama dosen't work.

Some people may find the singleplayer option tedious and boring after a while, but I personally find it the best aspect of the game. When you don't want to wring your brain dry with the multiplayer option, you can spend a few mindless hours killing antelope and gazelle. You can kill citizens of your little kingdom. I don't advise it though. You have to pay for your citizens, in meat, gold or wood.After a few thousand years, your people 'evolve'. Then life gets harder. After a few millenia, whichever civilization finished their wonder first wins. It is usually the Romans. They can build really fast.All in all, it is a very fun, challenging gave that you won't get bored of easily. I give it 10 stars out of 5!!!!!!!!!!

I absoloutely love this game!It's really good,'cos you get to collect resources,make buildings,villagers and military units.And of course,fight off your nasty old enemies at the same time!You can also try and win the game,either by sending a load of troops out,destroying their civilisation,or by building a Wonder.A Wonder is like a sort of monument to your civilisation,depending on what race you are.For example,Egypians have pyramids and Romans have Colosseums.I really want to get Age II soon,so I can play that as well.

This game wipes out all other strategy games. The best thing about Gold edition is that you can choose from main game, scenario, random map,death match,also if you want you can build your own scenario with scenerio builder. Another thing about this game is you get the original game and the expanion which you can play either. I WOULD RECCOMEND YOU BUY THIS GAME IF YOU LOVE STRATEGY GAMES, OR IF YOUR JUST LOOKING FOR A GOOD GAME.

This game is absolutely wonderful. I can't think of how anyone could make another game of the same genre that would rival it. You begin way back at the dawn of man. You have just villagers & clubmen. From there, you size up & use your assets to your best advantage; villagers can chop wood for houses & buildings, mine gold for $$$$, mine stone for lookout towers, fish, hunt, build stuff and...oh my.
The strategy of this game is what makes it so intoxicatingly good. This is not a game where you can just go out, play it a couple times & have it completely mastered. You must learn how to use your assets to your best advantage & how to defend your village(s) against invasion. Otherwise, you will be destroyed.
With every mission comes new technology. You can build heavy infranty units, calvary, naval armadas, war elephants, catapults, priests....and the list goes on and on. The Gold edition also has the Roman Empire scenarios which offer a few more neat tidbits such as camel riders and Fire galleys. The only slight precaution I would have for anyone is to stay away from making stone throwers on the Rome version. They are next to useless.
Even when you have gone thru all the scenarios for this game you're STILL not done. You can have random scenarios constructed for you by the computer and then there are the death matches (impossible if you pick 7 armies against you). You can also play the game on-line against friends at the website (although you need a fast modem for this). The fun goes on & on!
So, if you like strategy games, this is one of the very best, hands down. Build cities, make them into empires and conquer all the known world. I can't recommend this game highly enough.
