Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Honestly, I believe that this packaging was made for parents who've heard their kids say the words "I want AGE OF EMPIRES", and who, unfamiliar with the series, will think that more is better.
Truth is, once you play AOE II and its expansion pack, "The Conquerors",you'll stick with that version.The original AOE (and its "Rise of Rome" expansion pack) will just gather dust.It's not that AOE and "Rise of Rome" are bad games.Obviously, they're great games--which is why AOE was one of the highest-selling PC games ever.But the improvements madein AOE II and "The Conquerors" mean that game is simply more fun. Make no mistake: it's no bargain that you're getting AOE and "The Rise of Rome" along with AOE II.These are units Microsoft simply couldn't sell after AOE II came out.
Still, it's possible this double-pack is priced right.The list price of this Collector's Edition is exactly the same as the list on AOE II and "The Conquerors" combined.Essentially, Microsoft is throwing the two older titles in for free.However, Microsoft very frequently offers rebates when buying any of these titles separately.As far as I know, this Collectors Edition offers no such rebate.I'd therefore highly recommend that you see whether any rebate promotions are currently being offered by Microsoft before buying this Collector's Edition.If there aren't any, go ahead and get this Collector's Edition.But if there's a rebate, you really are better off buying just AOE II and "The Conquerors" separately--and putting the rebate in the bank.

Product Description:
Age of Empires is a real-time strategy game where players build a great civilization out of an Ice Age tribe over a period of 10,000 years. Players accomplish this by exploring their surroundings, conquering other civilizations, and accumulating wealth. Key elements include building and controlling units and managing resources.
Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings starts the player out in the Dark Ages, roughly when Age of Empires ends. The goal remains the same: use advanced technology and troops to establish your civilization's dominance. But now the player has better toys: each of the 13 civilizations has unique buildings, soldiers, and advantages. The Teutons have knights, for instance, while the Vikings have berserkers. Winning the game requires military dominance or the construction of wonders of the world. The single-player game is fun, but most players love Age of Empires II for its wildly popular multiplayer component. Thousands of civilizations rise and fall every day as gamers around the world compete in matches over the Internet.
This bundle includes Age of Empires: Gold Edition, containing the original Age of Empires and Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome Expansion, plus Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings and Age of Empires II: The Conqueror's Expansion. The bundle is a great way for fans of the series to keep all the titles in one place, while for newbies it is less expensive than buying all the titles separately.
