Age of Mythology: The Titans is an extremely well put together game. An entirely new race, new units, tech, god powers, buildings, and of course, the Titans.

The Titans are these enormous things that take quite a while to build, but once they go up, they're not coming down!
Almost like the superweapons in Command & Conquer: Generals,
you can terrorize the enemy 'till your heart's content.

There is simply so much in this game, it's hard to remember it all.
The new campaign is interesting and has a better story then most full games.

The voice acting is great, but that was to be expected.

Every single unit in the game has been balanced against the other, so there is as equal chance of winning and losing.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what a good game should be.

Ups:

Nice and entertaining
Good unit balancing
The game is pretty
The Titans make you feel powerful

Downs:

Titans seem unbalanced
Rock-scissors-paper units may turn some players off
The game ends.

Best computer game i've played on mac!!!!!!

this game is great if you have a fast computer. but this game is just like Ensemble studios said it would be.There is a populationn limit though.The only way you would hate this game is if you hate strategy games,or for some reason you just don't like Mythology.I think it is What the age of empires series wasn't,And with Gods!to control

FANTASTIC!

Age of Mythology is by far the best game I have played in months. It combines the Empire Building of the first 2, AOE and AOK, with gods and myths, which makes it all the more interesting. The graphics are vastly improved from the earlier editions, with an nice new 3D engine. The campaigns were a highlight also. 35 levels and 65 cutscenes, and only 2 of the 110 were bad! Leading the Atlanteans was great. However, the best parts of the game was using the god powers. These could change a game in a second, and really made it interesting. This is a great game that I strongly recommend, even if you have not played the first 2 games.

Great game.. but extremly unstable

I have to say, the game in itself is just great. I first bought it because of the reviews I had read right here, and I absolutely do not regret the purchase. I'm having a great time going through the campaign - I actually just finished the main campaign, and downloaded the little extra (free!!) one from the AOM website.

That being said, I do have to say that there is something wrong with it. From day 1, the game has quit (unexpectedly, as worded on the MS support website). I have spent over 2 1/2 hours on the phone with MS tech support reps, and all they could do was to walk me through the exact same steps that are listed on the website under that particular issue - that wasn't much of an help. They acutally still call me once in a while to know if my issue was resolved (it still quit "unexpectedly"). needless to say, the issue remains. I don't think I am the only person with that problem, and I think MS doesn't really know what causes it.
I love the game, and I put up with it closing on its own, but it's really frutrating. I almost spend more time saving it then actually playing!!

Academic Suicide.

This game is so addicting, you might as well crush the CD into a fine powder and roll up a dollar bill. I'm serious. Forget your job, your academics, or even the people in your life who are important to you, because after you start to play this game you will no longer have time for them.

I am a huge fan of the other AOE games, and this one does not disappoint. I have read a lot of reviews saying that this game was not up to par with the others in the series. However, there is no room for interpretation or opinion on this one. They are simply wrong.

The opening mini-story graphics sequence alone is worth the price of the game. It kind of reminds you of a battle scene in Lord of the Rings. Anyway, to say graphics throughout the game are drastically improved is an understatement. I was actually yelling for the little villagers to get out of the way because I thought they were real people.

You too, will enjoy creating a cyclops and watching him grab an enemy soldier by the ankle, swing him around like a lariat, and fling (actually, hurl) him at other soldiers. The game's detail is exquisite both graphically and intellectually. Is your 50-ft. collosus hurt? Eat a tree or some gold. That will help him regain some health. Yes, you read that correctly, I said "eat". Also, when advancing through the ages, you must choose which god to worship, and each has different special powers and advantages.

The best part about this game is that the mythological creatures and gods are included in ADDITION to, NOT INSTEAD of the other soldiers, cavalry, etc. Ensemble Studios deserves to get rich off of this one. The game is different enough to be fun and interesting, but similar enough to keep old fans happy. Don't try it, just buy it.

Oh, and here's a "PS" for people who are bashing the game saying it's too much "fantasy" - History is history, and there's only so much to go around...AOE covers pretty much every part of it before the use of guns. Mythology was a great idea. I doubt you could come up with something better or more imaginative.

Great game, but......

I think that this game is really good. However, I'm averaging one freeze or so a night. It gets frustrating. Also, every so often when I run scandisk it's telling me about dates/times being recorded wrong and has to change them to the correct ones. I also get a message having something to do with my boot values are messing up. I didn't have a problem before I got this game. I downloaded the patch, but it didn't stop the game from freezing. I hope that they fix it soon. In the meantime I'll just save often and become better aquainted with scandisk!! My system is an AMD 900mhz 256k ram 64meg nvida4 accelerator running win me. Problems notwithstanding, the game is very fun to play. The myth units are pretty nice as well. As an Egyptian you can mass an army of Anubites and swarm enemy units and cut them to shreads. They are my favorite unit against infantry. The Greek Colossesses are real tough. You can get a half dozen and level ememy buildings like crazy. I wish that it was easier to heal units though. I miss having priests to heal on demand, but I guess it's more realistic this way. This game will give you hours and hours of fun. There are a lot of simularities between AOM and AOK.

great game

I really liked how the game emphasizes the approach to battle that each civilization offers. I felt the most difficult parts of the game were leaving one civilization and morphing into the next one. My favorite by far is the north lands segment as you are rewarded for slash and burn techniques as opposed to the other two civs where you must first build your "culture" the northlanders are rewarded for battling. just like real warfare you better learn to scout before you put down roots somewhere. Only thing that I differ with is there is no place in this game for "love thy neighbor" if you will, sure it's no fun in a game but as realistic as the game is it could have made things much more interesting from an economic point of view.

Good, but... that's it

First of all, I must say that Age of Empires 2 is almost impossible to top. And Ensemble was not able to top it. Age of Mythology is a good game. It has wonderful graphics. Godpowers are fun, over all, it is good. However, there are only 9 civs, and broken into closely related groups of three. AoK had more.
Bad: ESO is not for friends. It is good in the fact you can quickly find a game and play... but it is much harder to interact with others. AoK was played on the zone with an instant messenger and chat rooms in every game area. ESO has just a chat area that all messages go to, even friends, and they are hard to distinguish from other clutter. A small chime goes off, but it just isn't good enough. The community in AoK is awesome, but AoM just doesn't have it.
There is something about AoK that draws you back to play. Something that makes it the greatest computer game yet created. AoM is fun... but just doesn't have that... thing. You will enjoy it, but you will tire quickly and move on. I still can't move on from AoK.

Age of mythology, the great RPG of 2002-2003

FIRST OF ALL I HAVE NOT HAD THE GAME VERY LONG BUT ANYWAY...
THIS IS A GREAT GAME AND WILL KEEP YOU GAMERS OUT THEIR ENTERTAINED FOR HOURS.AS SOME OF YOU ALREADY KNOW WHERE I LIVE SCHOOL HAS BEEN LET OUT AND YOU CANT BE ENTERTAINED BY GOING OUTSIDE {like grown-ups think} FOR THE WHOLE SUMMER.
BUT THIS GAME WILL HELP YOUR BORDNESS LEAVE YOU RIGHT AWAY.IN THIS GAME THE GODS AND THE MONSTERS WILL FIGHT FOR YOU.BUT JUST BE CAREFUL OF WHICH GODS YOU PICK BECAUSE ALTHOUGH SOME MAY HELP YOUR OFFENSE YOU WILL HAVE A POOR DEFENSE.AND IF SOME HELP YOUR DEFENCE YOU WILL HAVE A POOR OFFENCE.BUT OF COURSE IF YOU HAVE THE CHEATS YOU CAN BUILD ANYTHING ANYWAY AS FAR AS HAVING THE WRIGHT SUPPLIES GOES.
AS YOU MORE-THAN-LIKALY KNOW SUPPLIES CAN BE A PAIN-IN-THE-... TO KEEP UP WITH BECAUSE IT TAKES MORE PEOPLE THAN YOU CAN COUNT IN ORDER TO GATHER A WEALTH SUPPLY OF WOOD,GOLD,STONE, ETC.BUT THATS WHERE THE GREAT CODES COME IN.
IF YOU ARE THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO IS INPACENT THEN YOU WILL WANT TO VIST WWW.CHEATPLANET.COM FOR CODES ON ANY GAME IMAGENABLE.ALTHOUGH THIS GAME IS FUN SOME PEOPLE WOULD SAY IT IS MORE FUN WITH THE CHEATS.
