THIS IS MADNESS!
NO! THIS IS ARSTOKZKA!

Age of Empires 2. Where to start?

I have been playing this game for YEARS. Don't let my measly few hours on this game make you think I don't play it much but I have clocked over 200 hours when I was younger. I would not put this and the original AoE down. This game is fantasic. You start off with a few villagers, a town hall and a scout. Not much. And then you have to start building, picking berries, killing sheep and other animals. And that's just for food. You have to chop wood, mine stone, mine gold and then you can start building bigger and better. And then advance through the ages until you build your wonder and keep it for the required time or until you vanquish every enemy team.

There are many different civilisations to choose from. Ranging from Brits to Japanese. And each civ has it's own look for the buildings and different troops. Every civ has the basic swordsman, scout, archer, ETC. However, each one has their own unique troops. Japanese have Samurai and so on...

This game has wasted many hours of my life - and that's a good thing.

If I am totally honest, the price is asking a bit too much £15 for this gem. Yes it may be much but usually on sale it's 75%-80% off which brings it to around £3 (about $5 I think) so pick it up when it is on sale. It is an ancient gem that is still amazing even today. And not to mention the vast amount of mods for this game: Texture replacers, new maps, resource mods and so on. I would actually rate this game 10/10 which is very rare from me. Thank you for reading the review.

Some levels are like:
Ok, this seems easy, let's do this!

Then other levels are like:
WHAT IS THIS, WHERE AM I AND WHAT ARE ALL THESE THINGS?

It's Lord of the Rings. What more can I say? Well it may not follow the fellowship (too much) but it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ epic and addictive :D So buy it!

This game is an epic sequel to the first one which only took me 8 hours to complete. But on this one I have racked up almost 50 hours and I yet haven't completed it. Can't wait for Borderlands 3!

This game is freaking epic!
