It's as if Michaelangelo came down, picked up an already beautiful painting and made it a masterpiece.
Everything that is changed works perfectly, and all of the new civs and units add flavor to the game. A must buy in every sense of the word.

One of the best RTS games got expanded even more, and it's a perfect add-on. I always loved to play in the America and fight the invading Spaniards.

Should serve as an example for other companies how an expansion pack should be done.
Not only does it offer more of everything, but it also makes enough changes so that even the old material from the original game feels new and exciting.
It provides new elements to a game that, after three years, is still one of the best in the civ genres.
The new building sets and weaponry make the purchase well worth it and after playing for a while with the new farm-queue, you'll wonder how you ever played the game without it!
This expansion's additions prove that more is indeed better, but the balancing issues are troubling.
This is the game that I spent the most hours playing in my life. The world can invent several strategy games. But this one is unsurpassed in terms of simplicity and gameplay. This expansion is the best ever invented!

Note: This is a review of Age of Empires 2: The Conquerors single player campaign. I am aware that the multiplayer is where Age of Empires is at its strongest and this review does not cover the multiplayer experience.
This expansion is everything the original game wanted to be. As opposed to the formulaic and somewhat tedious campaigns of Age of Kings, each campaign mission is carefully designed in AoE II: The Conquerors. The narrative is better, missions offer enough variety, everything feels more balanced and the difficulty is just right. Age of Kings was a great game for its time. The Conquerors, on the other hand, escalates Age of Empires to a masterpiece level and can easily be considered a timeless classic.
9.5/10

This is a perfect game. It's well balanced and well thought through. The campaign mode is awesome as well.

This game is just like Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings, but with more civilizations, limited difficulty modes, and additional tools/tactics that's never been seen before in the Age of Empires franchise.
From looking at the critics, they don't like it as much as Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings; it's probably because there's not much new things going on, that a few additional tools/tactics didn't affect them as much as the additional tools/tactics difference between Age of Empires 2 and Age of Empires 1. But still, if you like Age of Empires 1 & 2 or just 2, you'll like this one too, for they're no different from each other.

Summary The official add-on to the best-selling, real-time strategy game "Age Of Empires II: The Age Of Kings" challenges veterans and novices to wage war on an epic scale with all-new civilizations, unique units and technologies, and campaigns based on infamous conquerors, such as Attila the Hun, El Cid, and Montezuma.
