 great idea, poor followthrough September 14, 2007
When I first heard that Age of Empires was coming out for Nintendo DS I was quite excited as I had played AOE 1 and 2 frequently on the computer. I bought the game and at once was pretty dissapointed.
If you compare it to AOE for computer, its boring because its a turn based game. However if you like games like chess, checkers, and such games only computerized this game is for you. The graphics are actually quite good and this game really puts the strategy in "strategy game".
One thing I disliked was some of the missions were nearly impossible to win. Because you couldn't raise your own troops like you can in AOE on computer, you are given a certain amount and you have to deal with the amount you are given (unless not in story mode). If you battle someone online or head to head its probably a lot more fun as its more similar to AOE for computer.

I was playing the game then it froze so I turned my DS off and then I couldn't play it again. There is nothing wrong with my DS, it's just the game.
 Good Game. August 23, 2007

This game was everything that I had hoped for. I was worried about the "save game" problems that other reviewers had complained about. But the game includes instruction on how to get around that particular problem.
nice game August 1, 2007
just recieved this morning in the mail.This is my first ds game.However if your expecting it to be like the pc version this game is not like it other than the graffics which could have been improved but, oh well.This is a great game that anyone who likes rts should at least rent it.

Like most of the other reviewers I rated this game one of the best if you like strategy and building an empire. It is not for the fast paced crowd. You have to build cities, explore the map, fight other armies. Not much new if you have played Role Playing Games before but they don't come much better than this game even on the DS. One word of warning, you must not have a 3 character name on your DS. The first two DS Age of Empire games I bought both locked up about 1/3 of the way into the game and would not start up again. Seems there is a bug in the save program when you have only three letters in your DS name. Before I started on game cartridge 3, I changed my name to 5 letters and never had a problem since. Another hint, if the game seems to lock up during the game, click on some of the buildings with your stylus and it should start back up. Seems the graphics might be expecting a click.
