 - A Bit DissapointingI have to admitt one of my guilty pleasures has always been playing Age of Empires. I am still a fan of the original (it is less complex, and allows for a quick short game). I was hoping this version would be similar, however, the entire game has been changed, it is difficult to interact with and frankly I found it quite boring. Rating:  - The best $14.99 you can spend on a DS game.I'll keep this very brief: If you like strategy games, you will absolutely love this portable version of what I understand is a PC classic. Yes, you should also own Advance Wars DS, but this is frankly a much better value at less than half the price. Plus, there are cool (also brief) history lessons told through well illustrated cut scenes. Anyway, tons of gameplay and enjoyment that'll make long car or train rides fly by. If you like strategy games, that is. Rating: - AWESOME GAME!I bought the game to go with my DS.Its a great game.The fact that the main games inculde the Mongol Invasion,the Hundred Years War,the Second Crusadse,the Third Crusade and the Conquest of the Minamotos of Japan is great. The main thing is the stratagy. Rating:  - A sons second review Don't listen to these other reviews griping about lockups. They don't happen all that often, and to be safe, you can save before ending day so you don't lose everything. The only problem with this game is that once you end day, you have to wait for everyone else to do whatever they want to do, and late in the game this could take a while. In all, this is a great game for the DS, and I highly reccomend it! Rating:  - great idea, poor followthroughWhen I first heard that Age of Empires was coming out for Nintendo DS I was quite excited as I had played AOE 1 and 2 frequently on the computer. I bought the game and at once was pretty dissapointed. If you compare it to AOE for computer, its boring because its a turn based game. However if you like games like chess, checkers, and such games only computerized this game is for you. The graphics are actually quite good and this game really puts the strategy in "strategy game". One thing I disliked was some of the missions were nearly impossible to win. Because you couldn't raise your own troops like you can in AOE on computer, you are given a certain amount and you have to deal with the amount you are given (unless not in story mode). If you battle someone online or head to head its probably a lot more fun as its more similar to AOE for computer.
