"...Age of Empires II remains an enjoyable if not exactly groundbreaking game, and it is after all one of the few true strategy games currently available on the PS2. Unfortunately it looks rather dated, and doesn't offer anything more than the (somewhat cheaper) PC version..."
"If you've never played Age of Empires before, we'd recommend getting the excellent PC version of the game. You can buy bumper packs with all the add-on missions for less than the recommended retail price for this PS2 version."
"Age of Empires 2 takes its addictive blend of real time strategy and historical elements from PC games of yesteryear and improves on an established formula."
"...it's not just gorgeous looks which maketh the king, but it's also Age of Kings' refined gameplay which is going to win it many fans."
"Konami is pulling this one together in record time to catch the PS2 launch, but the PC game was so solid that as long as the control stays up to snuff with what console gamers expect from a RTS, Ages of Empires II will be one of the strongest games on the system when it hits US shores."
