This is a great game, but not worth $30.00

Age of Mythology is a good game, but it is not worth $30.00. The game play is a lot of fun. The trees fall over when villagers havest wood, and the mythical monsters are cool. There are short movies in between parts of the campaign that add suspense and help to keep you updated on the games happenings. The only problem with the game as far as I can tell is the campaign's length. It includes all the civilizations, but is two short. One other problem is the editor. I enjoyed creating campaigns of my own in Age of Empires, but it is harder in Age of Mythology

Just a great RTS game

I thought that this game kept true to many of the better aspects of RTS gaming, while still keeping it fresh with new ideas, creatures, and strategies. Just a great game, with great replay value.

Great Game, But Not A Religious Study of Paganism

This is a great game, but not a study of Paganism. Many hours of game play. Part III of Age of Empires. I like the fact that the Norse appease the Gods not through temple building but heroism.

GAME IS VERY GOOD, BUT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER. NOT ENOUGH RANDOM MAPS. GAME IS BEAUTIFUL, BUT NOT ENOUGH FEATURES. IF YOU ENJOYED WARCRAFT III YOU WILL ENJOY THIS GAME. MAPS ARE TOO SMALL I PERFER THE LARGER MAPS IN AGE OF KINGS II. EVEN WITH MY COMPLAINS THE GAME IS STILL VERY GOOD.

Hard Play

I have had my AOM for one week now. Definetly addictive game play, good graphics. I had no problem loading the game.

I play Single Player/Random Map. The Easy setting is a piece of cake. Your enemies don't attack you, and from my AOE experience, I was able to defeat the Easy level, no problem.

Move up to medium, and I have no chance. The computer play is very tough, but I guess you wouldn't want it easy.

The graphics/playing characters are great, but smaller than I am used to.

Very satisfied with the game, I just wish I can find the proper computer level to compete at.

this game kicks butt! I loved the graphics!

age of mythology was the best PC game that i ever played. I REALLY kicks age of empires right in the butt! you can zoom in very close and very far, plus you can get magical and mythical cretures. I loved age of empires long befor I discovered age of mythology. so if you'er a fan of mythological war, buy this today!

same old, same old - but not quite

Basically AOM functions similarly to AOE in that your basic approach is the same: you collect resources and use them to develop technologies and units. instead of collecting stone, you now harvest "favor." Sure, the units are different than what we saw in AOE and have different abilities: Some are now Myth units which have abilities that AOE units did not have. In addition, before progressing to another age, you now have to chose a minor god that is contingent on the civilization (and god) you chose at the outset. Overall, however, the game is basically the same as AOE - I don't consider applying new labels to units as a vast improvement or change to the basic tenets of the game. Speaking of improvements: I really don't see any. Actually, i do see quite a lot of the opposite. While we had many civilizations to choose from in AOE, we are now very limited - which reduces the joy of re-playing this game. In addition, difficulty ratings are pretty horrible. In the "Easy" mode, you basically fall asleep since nothing ever happens. You just collect and develop until you are strong enough to dominate the world. You won't get much hassle from you computer opponents. Switching to "moderate" won't help you much, though. All of a sudden, you don't have any opportunity to really collect and develop anything since you are overrun by your opponents. You are faced with constant attacks - which takes away any enjoyment.

If you've played and enjoyed AOE then this game is simply boring. However, if you are new to this kind of game, then by all means, go ahead and have fun.

GREAT ORIGINAL GAME

Be clear; it is *not* an extension of Age of Empires. Strategies you might apply there work only half-heartedly here The 'favor' or mythic aspect is fun and interesting, but neither compelling nor extraordinary. Yes, the audio and video are sublime ! However, make sure your machine is up to the task. I had to upgrade a video board (8 to 32MB),just to get it to load. I have an older 400MHz system, but do have 256MB ofRAM. STILL, I have yet to complete a game - it locks up solid, requiring a cold boot and unpredictably. So, if you have a gamer's machine your luck may be better than mine. I still go back to Age of Empires, Conquerors expansion.

best computer game I have played
