Book Reviews of Age of Empires: Unofficial Strategies & Secrets
Book Review: Good for the scenarios, looks limited otherwise
Summary: 3 Stars
I glanced through this book several times at the local bookstores since it was the only one I was able to find of the first three coming out. After reading the reviews for the Microsoft book, I think this one suffers the same problem: it's geared towards the scenarios and not the real point of the game (in my opinion) which is its great multiplayer play. There is, as I recall, one chapter that deals mainly with multiplayer play. It looked like an OK chapter, but it's still just one chapter. I want a whole book on multiplayer strategy. I suggest you trot down to the local bookstore before you commit to purchasing this one, because if you're into the online game, it's probably not what you want. If you're just getting started or intend to focus on the 1-player game, then this book is probably decent.
Summary of Age of Empires: Unofficial Strategies & Secrets
Age of Empires comes from the co-designer of the best-selling game Civilization, and this book is written by the author of Sybex's top-selling books about Civilization and Civilization II. Author Jason Rich concentrates on one scenario, the Egyptian, throughout the book and shows how the strategies that work for Egypt apply to all the other scenarios in the game. Extensive coverage is also given to multiplayer gaming and teaching gamers how to design their own scenarios with Age of Empires.Video Games Books
