This game is really great. It is the first game I ever played, and it sucked me in. YES the graphics are lame, YES it is old but than, why are people playing Diablo 2? If you call yourself a rts fan you gotta try this. I dont know of any other rts that has what aoe2 has... It is great that you dont play futuristic soldier but you play history. Yes, like Joan of Arc. I played alot of rts games, yet im still playing this one-its simple and fun. No one hundred resources needed for building just one soldier. And when you finish campaign (which is really looong) you can start making your own maps, with really simple editor. Instead of usual easy medium hard there is variety of difficultys. If you are a rts fan and you dont have this you never played a real rts before. Just ignore the graphics-the 2d makes aoe2 aoe2. And you will enjoy it. I tried multiplayer recently (LAN). IT IS PERFECT GAME FOR LAN PARTYS, or inviting your friend. The requirements arent demanding, so almost any computer can run it. And it wont get old-this game is timelles, a classic, a must have. Now go and by it Thank you for reading
