i do own this game and had many hours of fun. First off the graphics look bascially the dame of age of empires. Theres only 3 cultures other then you can choose your own god in each. This game does lag ALOT. I play for 15 mintues and it starts lagging. I also dont have a bad computer. its nothign new but if ur looking for a rts with beasts and stuff this i the one to get.

This was a really horrible game. It doesn't compare t Age of Empires.
Enticing, Realtime strategy gamers choice.

I was one that liked the Age of Empires Series I & II. This has the same great game play with some nice add ons that realy twist the game into sheer fun. It has great balance. It has excellent graphics and a highly addictive story that keeps even the most tired gamer wanting more before admitting the need to sleep.
Highly recommended for any gaming library.
Mythology should be spelled "Empire"

While at the mall, I was pretty bored of most strategic games. So I picked up Age of Mythology thinking I would be treated to a great gift. But now I have mixed feelings for the game.
It is just like ages of empires. The resources are the same and gathering them are the same. But there is a new one called favor. To buy myth units or certain upgrades you need favor. For the Greeks you pray at a temple, Egyptians build monuments, and Norse fight. The Greeks are basically the regular race. The main one in the game. They are okay, but kinda boring after a while. The Egyptians have cool god powers, and do not really need to chop wood for any reason. The Norse are the best, they have the best units and can build quickly with their army. While playing online, Norse always dominate because they build several fortresses right outside your town then attack. Because Norse build buildings with their infantry, they have a huge advantage. But their godpowers are not that great compared to the other races.
God powers are given to you when you advance an age. If you advance to a new age you get to pick a minor god to worship, and each god has its own god power. Most of the god powers are kinda lame, and you can just waste. Zeus has a lighting bolt which kills one unit, but does not kill main units in the story, so it has no point. The only good ones are meteor, tornado, plenty vault, and earthquake. Meteor and tornado are the best Egyptian god powers, because they decimate areas of buildings. Earthquake and plenty vault rock. Earthquake belongs to the Greek and totally destroys every building in an area. Plenty vault also belongs to the Greek and provides a steady resource flow.
But the fighting gets old. The unit selection is awesome, but still, norse will win. Norse have the best units and just rock. Egyptian do not need alot of wood, so they can be good. Greek needs everything and the only rewarding experience is the 2 god powers I mentioned above. If you truly love ages of empire you can like this game. Most missions result in you killing one unit, then going on to the next mission and rebuilding your base all over. So the campaign gets really frustrating. Especially on moderate where the attacks are constant. In all seriousness, if you want to buy this game go ahead, but please wait till it is on sale.
This game is awesome!!

Good game, better than warcraft, but try Warlords battlecry2 and you'll never play this again. A key element Warlords has is that you can carry units from battle to battle, not many but a few to make things much more interesting. try Warlords battlecry two before you try this, it's like playing diablo and AOE rolled into one.
Thinking of buying it
