"Great till it crashes"
on by isa777Pros Wonderful gameplay, intuitive controls, feels like a proper AoE game
Cons Unresolved fatal bugs
Summary Till it froze mid-save and refused ever to start up again, this was my favourite ever DS game. Wonderful gameplay - like a cross between the PC original and chess or, i suppose, Advance wars.
If Majestico would just sort out the bugs i'd recommend it to anyone. But until then, it's a waste of money. Such a shame. -
"It was OK except for a glitch that made it worthless."
on by chesster415Pros There were plenty of chalenging maps and missions.
Cons If you enter a name shorter than 4 characters like "Joe" or "Bob" the game will eventually freeze after you try to save then never boot up again.
Summary I liked the game well enough until it stopped working. At first I was afraid I hadn't put the game card in securely enough and would just lose my saved data. But no, after I tried to play again I got nothing but two black screens. I found out later that Magesco had heard about this glitch and hasn't yet released a fix. A temporary work around was release to use 4 or more characters in your name. I found out about this only after my game had permenently frozen.

"Best game ever but killer bug! :("
on by ageofanythingPros Great game awesome fun!
Cons If you save in multiplayer the game wont work
Summary This game is amazing but it has a terrible bug. DONT SAVE ON EMPIRE MAP OR THE GAME WILL FREEZE and you wont be able to play it again. I had this happen to me twice now and figured it out. Now remember that! I have only pressed save and quit that caused this error but I wouldnt take any chances.
