    I found this game very fun and hard to put down for the first two hours. After that, I had a massive army and all I could do with them is send them somewhere to attack. I did that but then they all died, so I had to rebuild the whole army. It also got pretty repetitive after the two hours. If you like civilisation and drag and move top-down war games you'll likely enjoy, but if you areI found this game very fun and hard to put down for the first two hours.

    The Xbox version of Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition managed to surprise us with the controller controls. After such a fun experience there is no doubt that Age of Empires IV port will turn out great.

    Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition brings a true classic back for a new generation. Whether you are a die hard strategy fan or first time invader, there is no better place to start.

    Age of Empires 2 might be showing its age a little, even with the Definitive makeover, but it is still – and always will be – a timeless classic in the history book of video games, and remains as addictive as ever. It’s amazing to see Microsoft giving Xbox users some much-needed RTS love and going the extra mile with full controller support, despite the fact a few extra things are missing. This release does seem to be just the start of Microsoft’s plans – with Age of Empires IV up next for Xbox. Here’s to the return of the king!
