Very entertaining
Game is based on the Age of Empires II engine. Very stable game and easy to manipulate. It's simple strategy and user interface make it easier for young users to play. My 8 year old nephew started about a year ago and now for family get together we all get on a LAN and play. A load graphics load means many players can play with little to no lag. Still, it is visually pleasing with fantastic sound effects and music.
This is truly a timeless game and I've been playing it for almost 5 years. Very few games have that kind of appeal and staying power. For it's simplicity, ease of play and fun factor, it has not equal even today.
The only drawback is that single play is limited. One you figure out the computer's basic strategy, it's easy to defeat. It retains it's playability only in the multiplayer mode. For that it is worth the price you pay for any copy you may still be able to find.
