Pros: Great Graphics, Great Gameplay, Large Multiplayer Audience, Diverse Civs, Hosted by MSN Gaming Zone
Cons: Nothing to Speak of

I purchased this game after having been hooked on Age of Empires, the original. I loved playing this strategy simulation so much that when they came out with Age of Kings, I had to see how they could possibly make it better. They did.

The...

Pros: Good graphics, good replayability, smooth gameplay.
