Best Strategy Game!
1 of 2 found this helpful The Age of Empires II Gold Edition features Age of Empires II and the Conquerors Expansion Pack in one. The Conquerors Expansion is the best part of the game.
For anyone who is into war and strategy, this game is for you. This features civilizations such as Aztecs, Mayans, Britons, Byzantines, Spanish, Vikings, Chinese, Japanese, Turks, Mongols, Persians, Teutons, and French to name most. Each civilization has their own special units as well as their own strengths and weaknesses.
In order to play this game, you must build from the ground up in terms of food, wood, gold, and stone. From there, you advance through the dark ages, to feuadal age, to castle age, to imperial age in an attempt to bring down your enemies.
The most challenging aspect of this game is playing others online. Also, if you cant play this online, try playing some of the scenarios already featured in the game. You can also create your own maps and scenarios as well.
This is the best strategy game I have ever played. Since the day I played it, I have been addicted for the years since. Even though there is an Age of Empires III, I highly recommend this game right here. It is well worth the money.

Great Game
3 of 3 found this helpful This game is very beginner friendly. The controls are easy to learn.
Game Modes include: Exhibition, Home Run Derby, All Star Game, Mini Games, Dynasty Mode, Owner Mode
There is an MVP reward system which allows you to earn points to unlock 119 team jerseys from the past and present. It also allows you to unlock stadiums, players from back in the day such as Jacki Robinson, Babe Ruth, Lou Gherig and many more!
The best part of this game, in my opinion, is the owner mode. The owner mode allows a user to control all aspects of a franchise. This includes, drafting managers, scouts, and players for MLB, AAA, AA, and A teams. Also, in owner mode, you control the prices of tickets, concessions, and souvenirs. In owner mode, you can negotiate player contracts, as well as make (fair)trades with the other teams.
This is a great game. It's too bad EA lost the rights to MLB players and teams.
