 Multiplayer Issues September 6, 2010
jonel469
Don't be fooled by price like I was , this is the Ubisoft edition and has a different version than the expansion pack for online multiplayer play. If you order this you WILL NOT be able to play online with other players.You can get online and see the games and players in the lobby but not be able to connect to any games.You can create a game and play against comps online but you can do that in solo player mode anyway , the only advantage to doing this is you can't use cheat codes , or pause game while building or moving troops etc. online like you can in solo games.
The game I received is not the one pictured and was made in FRANCE.I have spent hours trying to patch this turkey and still haven't been able to do it as it involves downloading MagicDisc,using Nero and fiddleing around with the files on the game disc to get it to work online.Shame on Amazon for selling this foreign piece of junk.
Classic game August 17, 2010

A classic game of the same line of age of empire, but more fun and more developments
 Not the Rise of Nations version you see August 4, 2010

This is the trouble-prone Ubisoft version which is not the version shown by the box shot. I could not get this software to install and run on my Windows 7 PC, and I'm a Windows developer. Had to return it; your mileage may vary. Amazon should update the box shot to the Ubisoft box so customers aren't misled.

The game as such is awesome, but if you decide to buy it, you might experience compatibility issues with Windows Vista. No need to panic: the problem is easily solved by downloading a fix file... but in the end I had to spend quite some time dealing with the problem before I could actually start having fun.
 This old dog's still kicking! June 15, 2010

Even in 2010, despite its nowerday's "poor" graphics, this is still my favorite strategy game; placed above even Warcraft 3 and the Total War games. It is truly an ageless masterpiece.
