 The One Strategy Game to Rule Them All! April 7, 2009
Nick
If you enjoyed AOE I, then you will salivate over AOE II. AOE II retains the qualities of AOE I but features cooler weaponry, technology, and defensive structures. Each civilization has at least one unique military unit and a unique technology (for example, the Vikings are the only civilization with Berzerkers and Longboats), you have more options for diplomacy and trade, and you can garrison your civilians and infantry inside town centers, towers, and castles for protection and healing. Thumbs up!
 Oldie, but a goodie March 23, 2009

I love this game. I used to play it when I was younger and only had Windows 98. Then one day, the disc got cracked from me being rough, but I continued to use it. When it overheated, it literally exploded inside the tower and came out in pieces when I pressed eject.
I sadly hadn't played it in years, and since it was so inexpensive for the original game AND the expansion, I had to get it. I was not disappointed. The game came to me in a factory sealed box and in impeccable condition. This game may look old, (and it is), but I still love playing it for hours.
Great game. December 28, 2008

I love this game. It is so fun to play, and it changes every time, so doesn't get boring.
AOE2 gold - best game ever played October 29, 2008

If the old AOE with a maximun population on 50 was already very good, what can I say about AOE2 gold edition? It's just the most adictive game I ever played, weekends last only minutes when you are playing it. Love it!
