Rating:  - Great Follow up to AoW I
Several new changes that make it more of a challenge, yet keep the spirit of AoW I. Really enjoyed this game play.
Rating: - best tbs game around
i bought 4 copies of age of wonders to give out as christmas
presents to the friends who enjoy table-top wargames and that
liked to get together every so often to play.
about a year later i bought 2 copies of age of wonders 2 for me
and my brother inlaw to play,we've even got my wifes dad
involved in playing..
great game,just as good as Heros of Might & Magic.

I rushed right out and picked up a copy, hoping for great improvements to one of my now favorite games. Unfortunately that was not the case. While the graphics and audio are mildly improved, I felt gameplay took several steps back, at least in the single player campaign. The new units were nice and had a good variety between the different races. Unfortunately, the wizard/hero system ... Read More
