Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings

Age of Empires 2 was first released on PC of course, the announcement of it coming to PS2 was a joy for console gamers the world over including myself.
Surprisingly the conversion from PC to PS2 is excellently executed. The analogue sticks respond extremely well and after a few hours it becomes 2nd nature.
The idea of the game is to build an empire which spans from the Bronze age to the Castle age. Defeat your enemies with a wide array of units. Archers, Cavalry, Catapults and even priests can be used to conquer your enemy.

Unlike Red Alert, the games flow in AOE2 can test your patience a bit, it is slow to start and slow to finish but in between starting and finish is a good fight for survival.
Like Red Alert you start with just a few villagers (they act as your slaves), with these few men you have to build up a base. Have them collect wood, gold, stone and food to keep your base from collapsing. Use the wood you collect to build a barracks/houses/granary etc till...

In this amazing sequel to the award-winning PC real time strategy game, Age of Empires II introduces to PlayStation 2 the action and addiction of conquering and controlling a civilisation over the course of a 1000 years. You choose who you will lead and who will be your enemy from 13 emerging civilisations, each one evolving through a series of phases including Dark Age, Feudal Age, Castle Age, Imperial Age and Post-Imperial Age. The objective is to use all your skills, tactics, deception and diplomacy to lead your people across the vast millennia to their ultimate destiny - world domination!

THE GOOD:
Graphics

THE BAD:
The Game

SUMMARY:
The only thing good about this game is the graphics. Its boring to play and unkowing slow. Its not a war simulator, its an economy simulator. All u do is get resources and fight in battles that take like an hour to finish because the attacks are weak and the hit points are high, especially on buildings. And all the races are the same except for like 2 things that each race has unique. Not worth buying.

THE GOOD:
everything is good about it. it is just like the pc game

THE BAD:
it is hard to controll the arrow like on the pc u use a mouse but u can buy a mouse for the ps2

SUMMARY:
if u are wondering if you should buy the game i would recemend it because it is ausome. so everybody out that that is wondering if they should buy it go for it. sorry im just makin my detailed comments long because u have to go to 350 characters long and i was only at 311.

THE GOOD:
Forget heroin, here's Age of Empires II.

THE BAD:
Not the sharpest looking game on the market

SUMMARY:
One of those games which stops your stomach sending messages to your brain telling you to eat! Hugely replayable as you try and defeat your enemies in any number of styles - treachery, mass force, minimalist use of proper siege tactics, you name it. Historically fairly accurate - a must buy for anyone who loves RTS games.

THE GOOD:
This is the funnest most piad for game and you can never stop playing it realism.

THE BAD:
There is nothing wrong with the game.

SUMMARY:
This game was on PC now its on PlayStation2.It works the just the PC you build your own empire and the if you have an enemy you eliminate it.With allys you can trade if you do not have any gold.You can also build a castle and millitary units from it.
