Full review

Age Of Empires 2 was a wise move by Microsoft because it goes back to the past of the world. Many companies have looked into the future because they think that many gamers will be amazed with futuristic models. However Microsoft has gone back to the past ; and I think that it was clever because it is more accurate (we have found evidence on how they do things) rather than a wild guess for the future. Also, many adults have been hooked up on Age Of Empires 2 because they like the history of the country and would like to see how Microsoft managed to achieve this clever nifty piece of software. Even people who study Roman History will like this because it has the siege weapons and everthing that they used. Age Of Empires 1 was a great success, and because Age Of Empires 2 was an even better success, don't be surprised if they release another Age Of Empires...
