Age of Empires Review

I cant even begin to tell how bad this game was. This game was not self explanatory and is nothing like the computer game. Nintendo totally ruined it!

Addicting by glitches are frustrating

I've played the game a lot and hit several places where the system just froze up. I finally hit the black screen and cannot start the game any more. I just get a blank screen. This happens every time on both of the Nintendo DS's I have. After reading other reviews I realize I have a three character name and use "save and quit" a lot.

Had lockups

I enjoyed this game almost as much as the pc version, even though the graphics were not as good, because it was portable.
I purchased my copy used. An earlier reviewer mentioned that there were known problems with a three letter character name, I had used a three letter name.
It locked up a few times forcing me to restart it. Finally one day it locked up and wouldn't restart at all. I tried several times over the next month and finally gave up. Fortunately I had finished the campaign.
I have thought about buying another copy, thinking that maybe it was just the copy I had, but now I think I'll not buy another copy, just wait for the next version.

Best Strategy Game on DS (until Civ:Rev)

When AoE came out for the DS, it was the best strategy game on the system, bar none. It's been eclipsed by Civ:Rev, but it's still a strong 2nd on the DS. If it weren't for the small screen and difficulty in recognizing units, this game would score almost perfect. Can't wait for sequel that they're working on. Hope the sequel has Wifi support also, and user created maps.

aoe

aoe franchise is awsome. the ds version is different than the computer kind but still good to play.
