I only have borrowed it from a friend for a while, but he installed it on my Computer and only borrowed me the CD in a simple box. I have seen the original Box that he kepts behind in his house, its just a plain standart manual.
the game itself is fun, but the campaign repeats himself a bit too much into a dull story. the story is a bit childish. some bad army code want the water of enternal youth if I remember right, and you fight against them in 3 different ages.
I expected some good historical fun but in place I got some dumb ass campaign story.
the graphics ans physics of the game are good, and online its fun too, but well it follows the tactics of Age of Empire 2, if you have A LOT , you just stump the heads in of the other players.
the game itself is fun for a while, but after that, well I deleted it and gave the CD back to my friend.
if the game still is 50€ well I wouldnt spend it on that. I would suggest an different RTS game, if you like Medieval times, go for ''Medieval Total war 2'' the game , the graphics the gameplay and the tactics you have to use are of the CHARTS that game just rocks your mind if you play that. I suggest if you can find it, is to try a Demo of it first. to see if you computer can handle it.
I have played the whole bunch of Age of Empire (1 2 including the expansion packs and 3)
And if I need to name the Best, its going to be Age of Empire 2 + the expansion pack.
