Age of Empires Blackberry Storm Review

For more blackberry storm reviews check out http://www.stormgrounds.com

Age of Empires is a great game for the Blackberry Storm. The first thing I noticed when I opened the game is it only uses half the screen. Now this isnt something new to us Storm owners, but I still find it really annoying. Also the fact that this game can only be played in portrait also annoys me.

Okay so the whole point of this game is to create a colony of workers and military. The workers stay around your town center and do things like chop wood, pick berries and mine for gold. All of these items are required to build barracks, houses, guard towers, boats and more. Once youve created your barracks you can start to build up your military. I recommend creating a bunch of soldiers before you launch an attack. This will increase your odds of coming out victorious. Once you have enough soldiers you will have to walk them around the map looking for the enemy. This is kind of annoying, but its the same method used in the pc version too. When the enemy is spotted click on him and your soldiers will start the attack. Once the solders are in attack mode they will kill and destroy everything in their sight. You can just sit back and watch the demolition.

This game offers multiple levels and playing modes, which really adds to the playing time and reputation. I found myself playing level after level, which is more then I can say about most games Ive purchased.

All in all I think this game really surprised me in a good way. Its pretty much the same as the pc version just not as many features. If this game was more optimized to use the storms touch screen this app would be perfect. As long as youre okay with controlling your colony using the touchpad on the screen then this is a must buy.

The fact that it look like it runs well surprises me.

It runs real well actually, just not really that convenient having to use the touchpad arrows

I played this game over and over again. Loved it but bored with it. Any suggestions on similar games for the storm?

wtf?? i'm jealous... how u get my favorite game of all time on your phone.. please leave me some feedback cause i am great at this game... i gotta blackberry bold 9700, will it work??

I finished all levels in veteren level except the last one. You have to survive for 8 minutes to win. I die and am not even close to 8 minutes (3 or 4 mins left still). I beat another veteren level similar to this by moving people all over the place. Even if you have one guy left you win. Seems kind of dumb but thats what I did.

I tried all kinds of strategies and still not close - anyone win this level - any tips?
