Age of Empires was a dissapointment!

User Rating: 5.2 | Age of Empires PC
By silvercineplex | Review Date:
The game was supposed to be Warcraft with a Civilization twist. Too bad it wasn't either. The original Warcraft exceeds this game by a lot. Civilization will only be sampled in this game as you don't get much Civilization from it.

The AI is way too good for you. Your units are really dumb. Almost to the point where you wonder how they could have found out how to use this technology.

The contructing of buildings/units in this game is a little too slow for my taste.

The campaign is boring for me. It is too repetitive and just plain boring.

This was a game that had potentail, but didn't live up to it.
