A gameplay as rich as ever, halfway between management and strategy
A neat port, and playable on the pad
A big graphic facelift
The sweet price (20?)
Some reworked game mechanics
Pathfinding
All extensions, billed separately
If you already have the game on PC, you have to go back to the checkout...

Age of Empires 2 is still a show
The control system with the gamepad was well thought out...
The mouse and keyboard are yet another level
... even if a little difficult the first hours

A great RTS, in its best version, perfectly adapted on consoles
Optimized control mapping to make the game accessible with the pad
Some new AI-side implementations for automatic resource collection that are not at all obvious
During the most numerous battles, there is some chaos for the management of troops.
Some historical hiccups related to the search for ways
