Extremely fun I installed Age of Empires II (AoE2) about 4 years ago. Today, I still play with friends online about once a week. There is something special about AoE2 that makes every game a new experience, drawing us back time and time again. One thing that appeals to me is its well balanced military system. AoE2 offers a small but complete set of units, each unit playing very differently from another, this means most units will be utilized well in a battle. Many other games have many more unit types than AoE2, but few of them play out as sophisticated as AoE2. Semi-successors of AoE2 such as "Age of Mythology" or "Rise of Nations" have been on the market for a while, each with promising new features. Yet, neither game could offer the excitement and variety that AoE2 offers. There are aspects of AoE2 that newer games were unable to duplicate. If you value good game play, I would highly recommend Age of Empires 2.
