    Long gone are the days of RTS games like Age of Empires 2. These-days developers are too focused on making the game so unique they forget what actually works. Resulting in a game that's either too complex to understand or too easy that it's just not worth playing.

    Age of Empires 3 took a turn to cartoon style graphics and Age of Empires Online looks like something Disney-Pixar developed.

    Age of Empires was the only RTS that had me glued to my computer screen 3hrs+ a day. The campaign was very fun to play. The scenario creator, oh how I spent countless hours in there pitting 4 red man-at-arms against 1 blue swordsman.

    If only Microsoft just reworked the network code for Age of Empires 2 and re-released it as it was. I don't even care for updated graphics.

    Age of Empires 2 is a very good game & one of the best RTS that has ever been made.    … Expand
