This is one of the fews game that I actually play all the time. It is probably, because I am one those people that get motion sick while playing games. The problem for me is I can't play it on my Laptop, because it only has 8mb of video.

If you are an age of empire fan, you will not be dissapointed.

Age of Mythology, the original, is a great game. The campaign is fun. The random map games are great.The animation is stunning. The monsters and units are well thought out. I would DEFINITELY suggest the original.

**HOWEVER** I feel this expansion pack was not worth the money at all. I played with it installed for about a half hour (and used cheat codes to investigate all the new things) and then promply uninstalled and sold it. The ONLY fun part about it was actually getting the titans, but the atlantians are pitiful in the sense of buildings and units. I was very disappointed in it.

If you feel like trying it, go ahead. But I would not suggest buying it.

the best game ever

AoM is the 2nd best RTS availible for Mac users second to only WC3. AoM does have some better aspects ccompared to WC3, more units can be built,u can have a bigger army and its just plain cool that your replaying history. A great game get it now.

Very Good RTS

AoM is a great RTS. The unitsare funn to use and the strategy involved is in my opinion better than WC3. The only problems is that gameplay in the single payer campaign gets repetetive. Buy this game if u like RTSs.
P.S: im over 13 i just dont have a credit card.

Extremely fun, but some complaints

Age Of Mythology, in my opinion, is the BEST GAME in the "Age Of Empires" series, and adds several new dimensions to gameplay, including God Powers, Myth Units, Heroes, and better tutorials. the included cinematics teach how to play as the Egyptians and Norse cultures, while the interactive Learn to Play campaign teaches how to play as the greeks. The gameplay is streamlined and fun, and the different god powers and major god's bonuses can REALLY affect gameplay and choices. I only have 4 major complaints. 1: the population limit. you can only have a limited amount of units, which can be increased by building Town Centres and Houses. that's a great concept, but you can only have 10 houses, throwing a wrench into anybodies hopes of building a huge army which is designed to be the focal point of the game. oh, yeh, and you can't build town centres untill the heroic age (third age of 4) 2: The Campaign: the campaign starts having a great plot, an admiral who's past his prime and just fighting pirates for atlantis (who get to become a distinct culture in AOM: The Titans expasion pack)who gets flung into an adventure that determines the fate of both Mortals and Immortals, but gets bad quick, about halfway into the Egyptian part. the bad guy keeps going to more places to extend his plan, (SPOILER) until we find out there's one more portal, in Atlantis, where it ends abruptly and our hero gets turned into an immortal.(END SPOILER) the hero from egypt is great, but there are no real major characters from the norselands. 3: The AI, they always just amass huge armies and let them sit. and even worse, the AI civilizations who are your allies always mooch off you, and you can't change your diplomatic stance (Which isn't fixed in TITANS)4: the Editor, it's far too complicated. And moddings difficult, even for this 12-year-old gifted computer whiz. On a happy note, the random maps are very fun, and a lot of planning needs to be done.
AOM VS CIV III (alone)
Unit Management: in civ 3, every unit needs to be moved individually, which gets VERY tedious.
AOM proves that RTS is better than turn-based.
score: AOM: 1 CIV: 0

Empire Management:
Civ 3 invests a lot in empire management, so much it becomes another dimension to play.
AOM doesn't have any of that, everyone follows your orders blindly, there is no morale, no taxes, NOTHING.

AOM: 1 CIV: 1

Age Advancement

Civ 3 makes you research many, many techs to advance ages, seen on a tech tree. While realistic, it gets tedious and annoying.
in AOM, advancement is as easy as pushing a button. infact, that's just about all there is to it. just get some food and gold and build something. unrealistic, but easy.

AOM: 2 CIV III:1

Game Length

any game of civ 3 is a huge investment of time. it can take months to finish, but sometimes that makes it all the more fun.

AOM games are quick and simple, usually taking 1-2 hours alltogether. it even includes a timer that tells you, to the second, how much time the game took.

quick and funs good, and so is a long investment. I gave them both a point.

AOM:3 CIV III: 2

So when it comes down to it, aom IS funner than civ 3, but just. Play Age Of Mythology, you might just like it.

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.

whats wrong with you people!?!?!?!??!?!??????

...the game has a rich story, cool units (even the "mundane" non myth units are cool!) and excellent online play. it might not be as good as warcraft 3 but it is still a wonderful game
