Description

Age Of Empires II has been a big hit for Microsoft on the PC for some time and now it's made it to the PS2. The biggest question to be answered with any strategy game of this kind is whether or not the developers have managed to get the user interface right; while it's been pretty well executed it's still not perfect and does make life difficult at times. However, one excellent feature of the PS2 removes all the potential interface problems: just buy yourself a USB mouse and you have the perfect tool for playing.

Gameplay basically revolves around you building up and defending your settlementmore…, but don't expect to be left to your own devices for long. As with all strategy games, you'll need to gather resources, build more advanced structures and gain access to more powerful troops with which to raid and pillage enemy settlements. The range of units is good and varies between the many cultures you can choose to be, giving each culture their own distinct advantages and disadvantages.

The graphics and sound in Age of Empires 2 are both perfectly serviceable, but you won't be astounded by either. So what does it have in its favour? Well, heaps and heaps of playability. This is no five-minute wonder, and you'll be back again and again for just one more shot at that mission you haven't quite finished yet. If you're looking for a top-notch strategy game for the PS2, you couldn't go far wrong by getting yourself a copy of AOE2--and don't forget your mouse. --Andi Flower
