    Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition lands on Xbox in a big way, with a magnificent adaptation of the controls to console, impressive graphics and all the classic essence of the saga, with hundreds of hours of content and endless battles.

    Age of Empires 2 might be showing its age a little, even with the Definitive makeover, but it is still – and always will be – a timeless classic in the history book of video games, and remains as addictive as ever. It’s amazing to see Microsoft giving Xbox users some much-needed RTS love and going the extra mile with full controller support, despite the fact a few extra things are missing. This release does seem to be just the start of Microsoft’s plans – with Age of Empires IV up next for Xbox. Here’s to the return of the king!

    Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition is one of the most popular RTS games of all time. Thanks to a good adaptation that uses shortcuts and an intelligent interface to give players the power to control their empires, we can play it on consoles after almost 25 years. The mouse and keyboard are still better, but this could be the chance for the die-hard fans of the controller to play a true masterpiece.

    Age of Empires II is a game that forever remains as part of your own existence. It does not matter how much time goes on, in the end you ALWAYS remember having played AOE; it is a timeless classic. You REALLY want to play this new version of the game, whether it is because you want to explore one of the greatest video games ever for the very first time, or because you are an 'old school' player that wants to re-live a glorious age that will no longer come back.

    Nunca pensei que pudesse jogar um RTS no controle. Age of Empires II conseguiu essa proeza. Porte sensacional para o Xbox.

MAS CONSEGUIRAM!!!!!! É muito bom de se jogar e fácil de aprender os comandos. Espero que essa versão sirva como base para fazer rts mais complexos e trazer os que estão disponíveis apenas em PC.… Expand
