Is it just me ???

User Rating: 6.5 | Age of Empires II Mobile MOBI

Im afraid i have to disagree with old sport below because i just cant get into this game & I definitely wouldn’t call this game the ‘benchmark for rts gaming on your mobile!” (That title is reserved for another game listed below)

Now everyone knows what AOE2 is about, so no need for me to tell you what to expect.

Pros:

* Sound . This is one of the 1st mobile phone games to have decent sound & music.

* It bares a slight resemblance to the PC title

* Its a unique type of game for mobiles (as in there aren’t not many rts available at the moment)

· That’s really about it for the Pros. Sorry, I really tried to think of more

Cons:

* Bad controls. You select a unit by clicking on the square they are in, but if they are moving, good luck selecting them! Issuing orders quickly are paramount to rts games, but there’s none of that going on here.

*Screen is waaay to small. The view is too close & with the maps being so friggin huge, expect to be allot of scrolling. I would of preferred if they moved the camera out a bit to let you get a feel for the terrain etc. It really makes you feel cramped.

*Lagg. I don’t know if i was just my crappy phone, but this game loves the lagg. Selecting a unit or opening the map each gives you about 5 seconds of lagg.

*No animations. The units are basically like monopoly pieces

Summery: With the lagg, bad controls & cramped camera view, i found this game more frustrating than fun. If your looking for a satisfying RTS game, try Ancient Empires 1 & 2, now they are the benchmark for mobile RTS games!!!
