GREATEST RTS gets the GREATEST Expansion Pack!!
I have played many many games for 15 years and i have to say i have never ever come across a gem of game like Age Of Empires II. In those 15 years i have also played many strategy games like Command n conquer, rise of nations, civilizations, empire earth. Name it all.
All of these above mentioned games lasted like 1 year or so. Also its important to note that i do not hate any of the games above. I love them.
But AOE 2 is a game that i have played for not 1, 2 but 10 YEARS. I got its CD back in 1999 just when it was released. I was not so pleased with AOE 1. I found the Stone Age a better depressing. Hence developed an Anti-Strategy game feeling. But AOE 2 made all that go away. Infact it made Strategy my favorite genre.
Enough talks. Coming to this game, this is an AMAZING AMAZING expansion pack to Age Of Empires II - Age Of Kings called the Conquerors Expansion. Judging by it ratings one can easily say it is one of the greatest expansions and the greatest in any RTS.
Why?? Simply because the campaigns are more fun. You get to be Attila The Hun and fight his brother. Or you can be part of the massive empire of El Cid. Montezuma and other campaigns also give a real amazing historic feeling about this game.
There are new civilizations added to the existing ones of AOE 2 AOK. Get to play the Spaniards or be the terrifying Aztecs. You can also be a very tribal Mayans.
Gameplay and Graphics are not at all different and same as AOE 2 AOK. But that's understandable as this is just an expansion pack. Also no changes needed.
So here ends my review. It gave me a GREAT Pleasure writing this review, in short, MY 10 Years of Campaign in Age Of Empires II.
This game is really Hard to describe to tell you all the truth, especially if you are a person like me who has played and MOST IMPORTANTLY Understood this game as a 10 year old in 1999. It's actually such a great game that it gets embedded in your hearts thus making it unforgettable.
Truly no strategy game comes close to this Beautiful and Unbelievable game. It is ONE of the GREATEST Games in Any Genre and quite easily the GREATEST RTS GAME EVER CREATED.
