IGN - Not many games have been able to do what Age of Empires has done. Age of Kings takes everything great from the previous Age of Empires PC series, and creates a new world based on those fundamentals. The DS version retains every major aspect of the PC game, while delivering the gameplay in a whole new way. In the strategy genre, games are made or broken based on their balance, and Age of Empires crams a ton of content onto the system, while actually offering more balance than even the PC versions. While fans of the series (or RTS buffs) might wish for the speed and “on your toes” strategy of the previous games, Age of Kings reinvents the series by forcing a more tactical approach on an economic level. Building layouts matter more than ever, as does the technological advancements. Audio presentation could have been better, specifically during battles, but the orchestration has been taken directly from the PC versions, adding serious authenticity to the production. Age of Empires is a great tribute to the PC series, and worthy addition to any collection.
