Customer Reviews: Rating:  Date: 2008-05-02 on sale Got Rise of Nations on sale for $20, wouldn't pay more than that...
tip: turn game speed down; took 40 minutes game time to conquer world.
Not worth playing second time round, have un-installed.

I purchased this for my grandson for Christmas. He loved it. I had to fight to get him to turn it off. He is 12. This follows along the same lines as Age of Empires (Age of Kings) Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings Rating:  Date: 2007-09-29 Just what I was hoping Just have to say that the American civ fits with my style of gameplay so well that it has really increased the fun of the game. So much so that I have yet to try any of the other new civs. I keep meaning to, but . . .
Choosing governments has been executed very well, too, and I think it's a definite plus. I'd look forward to that concept expanded somewhat in a sequel . . . |
