These remasters are an attempt to re-ignite the flames of older gamers, as well as picking up some young fans along the way.
We recently reviewed Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition.
Generally speaking, most fans of the AoE series would have II above III in their pecking order. However, as someone who has played a heck of a lot of both, i can honestly say that the storyline in Age of Empires III was far more compelling. The game also offers advancements in the technically aspects of gameplay which make a smoother, faster experience.
