Age of Empires Review
I cant even begin 2 tell how bad this game was. This game was not self explanatory & is nothing like the computer game. Nintendo totally ruined it!

Addicting by glitches are frustrating
I've played the game a lot & hit several places where the system just froze up. I finally hit the black screen & 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 & use "save & 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 2 restart it. Finally one day it locked up & wouldn't restart at all. I tried several times over the next month & 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 4 the next version.

Best Strategy Game on DS (until Civ:Rev)
When AoE came out 4 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 4 the small screen & difficulty in recognizing units, this game would score almost perfect. Can't wait 4 sequel that they're working on. Hope the sequel has Wifi support also, & user created maps.
