    It's hard to believe but Age of Empires 4 works perfectly on Xbox consoles. A great port with all the contents and features to one of the best RTS of recent years. [Recommended]

There have been attempts over the years, and while many were great on the PC, the controls on the console were meh at best. I’m glad to say that Age IV breaks the mold. The controls are super easy to use, doesn’t delay or feel sticky. It plays perfectly. The tutorial was great too. Thought I’d get bored, but instead a fun lesson in history while learning to play. Major props to the developers for nailing it. Full Review »

I played PC RTS games in the past, and never thought they would be a good fit on XBOX. I was wrong, Age IV is super easy to play and has everything the PC vrsion has including MOD support. Would love to meet the game wizards that made the controls soo good. amazed they were able to make it work. Full Review »

    Overall I had a ton of fun so far playing this game.
