First off, i was dissapointed here after buying age of empires 3 and the first expansion, this expansion seemed more like it was made to throw a few more things in to fill the gaps rather than as a real expansion, the storyline feels incomplete and dosent fulfill your expectations, but on the other hand it maintains the good graphics and scenery youd expect from this game and with the new maps that it does bring, it is still worth downloading when you run out of things to do, but as for me, even the new maps and units werent enough to drag it out of the hole ensemble studios dug.
