… might be fun?

As a kid the Age of Empires game provided me with hours of entertainment. Now, as an occasionally bored adult, I was looking for a similar game to pass some unused minutes between responiblities… this was not a good choice. Dont get me wrong, Im sure this game is very fun, but you will need hours of time just to even figure out how to play it. I played for about 20 minutes and turned it off thinking I would need a college level course, or a Webster sized manual just to learn the basics of gameplay… time, unfortunately, I just dont have. After taking a few more cracks at it Im close to uninstalling, the game is just too daunting for a guy like me who doesnt consider himself a "gamer" … just a guy who occasionally plays games. My advice would be to only purchase this game if you have boatloads of time on your hands, and an equal measure of patience!
