4 out of 5 stars Great game, but has bugs   January 18, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is a very fun to play game with lots of replay value. There is a few bugs in the game that they should have caught in game testing, but I guess the game was rushed through production. I like this game nearly as much as my favorite DS game Advance Wars. It's too bad the game doesn't keep a record of high scores. The games AI is pretty predictable, but still fun to beat over and over. I can only hope they make a second follow up game and fix the bugs. Still I highly recommend this game.


5 out of 5 stars A Great Way to Start my DS addiction   January 10, 2008
This is one of 3 games I received with my DS for Christmas, and I was hooked right out of the gate. I am a veteran of PC-based RTS games, including the original Age of Empires all the way up to AoE3, as well as other publishers like Warcraft, Starcraft, C&C, etc. The one thing I really liked about this version is the change to turn-based rather than real-time. Usually in the real-time versions everything is a race, but here you have the opportunity to plan out some things and play the game a little slower-paced, which is good since I usually play my DS when my kids are around/awake and often have to sit the game down to attend to them.

There are several small things about the game that I didn't catch offhand, that started to be a frustration, like why their archers can hit my archers, but mine can't hit theirs.... (turns out terrain plays a factor in weapon range) but once I figured it out it really opened up the game for me. Just since Christmas I've probably played 40+ hours so far.

The game even has little historical facts (accessible from the main game menu) that tells you about various battles throughout history, how some ancient weapons of war were used, etc. The ability to save your game whenever you like (during your turn) is also a nice feature.

I recommend this title to anyone who likes RTS (Real Time Strategy) games, as well as the Civilization/Sim City genre.



5 out of 5 stars Great Game for Business Trips or Family Gatherings   December 18, 2007
This was the first game I bought for my Nintendo DS Lite. The graphics are pretty good. They don't compare to the PC version, but overall game play is very enjoyable. I've almost finished the game, after probably 50 hours of play.


3 out of 5 stars meh   December 4, 2007
i didnt think this was very much fun from the start. there was no tutorial and the in game menus are sometimes a mystery. This game is slow even for a turn-based game. controls are spotty and counterintuitive, it just wasnt very engaging for me. dont base this game on past AOE games as it is a whole different ball-game. Battle scenes are pretty neat if not a bit confusing. try this game before you buy it! im glad i only paid what i did for it.


3 out of 5 stars Great Game but Buggy   November 15, 2007
I will keep this short as many of the other reviewers have said most of what I feel regarding the game's high level of entertainment. I want to make sure people are aware of the bugginess of this game, however; I already had one mission that did not complete due to goals not being checked as met. I have also had it happen that after a monk picked up a relic, along his way back to town, somehow the relic was lost on the map.
