AOE 2 is an awesome strategy game, I can se how it made game of the year once. For it's time, AOE 2 had great graphics sound effects for a strategy game. Since I got AOE 2 I've play games like it with better graphics and sound FXs, but I still liked the pot of AOE 2 more. Many other games like it are fun but they take a long time to figure out what all the controls do, which I don't like at all in a strategy game. If you have never played a strategy game I would invest in AOE 2 and probably the conquerors expansion, there are more civilizations to be and another set of missions too. This game is a good strategy game to start with, and maybe later move up to harder games, like Rise of Nations and it's 2 expansions.
