It is worth noting that a Definitive Edition of this game was released a little while back that did improve the visuals.
This is an older PC game so you have to keep that in mind, but the visuals are not all that bad and there is some very nice sprite work here that tugs on those nostalgia strings. On the flip side of this though, I am not sure I would ever in a million years expect someone new to the series to jump into this over one of the newer games in the Age of Empires series.Īs far as the presentation of the game goes, it is not bad. On the one hand, I have very fond memories of playing this game and as a result, I can truly appreciate how this was a game-changer when it was released.
When you go back and look at a classic like this it is really hard to do so.
