Hey guys! So this is SonicGirlsGeek, KEEPING my promise to review a game, more specifically Age of Empires 2: the conquers campaign. I definitely recommend the updated conquers version to the original, as it has more options and it gives you more campaigns. Now, here's the outline of the game. You have to successfully build an empire, both economically and military, and win the game with allies or against everyone, and you can even use campaigns, where you play as Joan of Arc, William Wallace, and other famous feudal military icons. I like this game, because unlike other games that try to copy AOE's style, you have to pay just as much attention to the village and the villagers population as to the armies that they support. The gameplay is pretty spot on, playing in a realistic way that is pleasing to both peaceful Quaker-like people and the all out "love the smell of gunpowder in the morning" people. This game is my childhood, along with Donkey Kong 64. I love this games versatile use of multiplayer, something you only find in systems like DS. My Dad and I really bonded over this game, and so I feel like it's about time I gave people some good recommendations to this game. Please, if you have any hard feelings against this game, this is MY opinion, not yours. Remember that.
So I just played this game for the first time in months to do this. Don't misunderstand! I do love this game, but there are other things I have to do, the same things that keep me from posting every single day. So I played it in a standard game, and it still doesn't disappoint me. The sound effects are really spot on, being correct to your environment and what you clicked, and even fading and growing when you get close to it. Also the enemies are really nice. You usually get someone who hates you with a vengence, and as most games go it's was pretty successful at doing that. And sometimes on rare occasions they try to ally with you, and that's just as good, because it turns the rest of your enemies on their heels! Heh heh he....... "forgive me and my evil chuckle"(Prince John) heh heh heh........ And the graphics are amazing for what technology they had at the time, and even now is still considered pretty good quality in my opinion. You get a different color depending on what civilization you are, and the colors are not only well placed, but help you understand who's who. Now, sometimes you do ed up havng a villager run into a moving seige weapon and them inexplicably going through one another, but that's just usual video game glitching. Heck, FROZEN had that glitch! And they spent a LOT of time on that movie. So yeah, the game itself is very satisfying. And the campaigns are better! I personally have never gotten all the way through one, but my favorite is the Joan of Arc story, being as she's the only girl character in the game that can actually harm someone. Not to be feminist, because the girls get a good standard role in this game, they can even chop wood and mine for stone! Which is not something that is historically correct, but anywho...... The Joan of Arc campaign is basically you making sure that 1. Joan of Arc lives 2. helping towns defend themselves from the British and 3. make the army of France great again. As I told you before, I haven't finished the campaign yet, but I can guarantee you that the rest of it is just as good as the rest of the game. Oh, and one more thing. If you decide you like the sound of the game and buy it, remember that to train all you have to do is go to William Wallace's campaign (which is a trainer's campaign) and follow that storyline as many times as you like until you think your a pro. Well, that's all I have to say for this game, but my next review isn't far off. Comment below on what you think and what you want me to review or do for my posts! SonicGirlsGeek, over and out.
