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.

five stars all the way

If you liked Age of Empires II than you'll love this.
It has better graphics and a new story line.

Fun but lacking

This game lacks the features I came to expect from Age of Kings. I used t be an avid Age of Kings and Conquerors player and when I heard about Age of Mythology, I was ecstatic. But, when I got it, the luster wore off. The campaign has not much of an interllectual value and is truly a waste of time in the original and I thought that they were improving it so, I got the expansion. To my dismay, the expansion's campaign was even more pointless and groundless. Let me give you a lttle detail in case you didn't play Age of Kings or Conquerors. The Age of Kings campaigns (Barbarosa, etc.) were very difficult and I stress that point. They would usually take at least 45 minutes. The Conquerors scenarios were varied but still kept the interllectual focal point. The new campaigns lack this facet which I would normall expect. The new AOE III seems better as the demo came out prior to this review. But, the in-game multiplayer feature is better than the zone way of old. The onine features are fun as is playing with people of different cultures. In my opinion the only excellen part is the multiplayer. Word to the wise, do get the game and see, the Atlantean culture isn't all it's cracked up to be.

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!

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.

A Must..

A good simulation in the typical build and achieve goals mode. Some fun mythological beasts, soldiers, etc., Gods to pray to. Gives a bit of a history lesson as well.

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.
