aoe aoe franchise is awsome. the ds version is different than the computer kind but still good to play.
Not bad, but not the same as the PC version Being a massive, huge fan of the PC version I was a little disappointed with the Nintendo DS version. Possibly I was expecting too much from a hand held game, but the game play doesn't really bare much resemblance to the PC game. Having said that, the graphics are good and the game play is enjoyable, just don't expect too much.
Gets boring after awhile In comparison to a game like Fire Emblem which is fun to the last mission and makes you want to start the whole thing over when you are done, this game gets a little boring about half way through. It is a fun game, but after awhile it gets a little repetitive.
Perfect turn-based strategy game for DS This game was well-done, and a great value for the price. If you like strategy games, esp. turn-based, this is as good any decent PC t-b strat game for the PC from the 90's. I actually never played AoE for PC, but think I will go ahead and pick up a bargain bin one and give it a whirl. This game actually reminded me a little bit of early HOMM titles (DS versions, please!), but with more freedom to move around.
The story line and scenarios were very good, as were the factions. After the nice length campaign there were plenty of additional maps to play, and the game tweaks available made it work at the level you want to rather than feeling like you're fighting it. Very enjoyable game, and due to the price a 5/5 (vs. a 4.5/5 if it had been $25 or more).
Excellent oportunity to know about world culture This is an excellent game that teach us about culture, strategy and entertainment. Best value for money!!!
