Wow, I just picked this game up last night and now I'm back at work with only a couple of hours of sleep. This game builds on the incredible Age of Empires recipe to make a game that is even more dynamic and inolving than the original. Think of it as AoE with mythical creatures and gods who actually will assist you in battles. Now you can summon creatures like Minotaurs, Cyclops, Hydra, Pharoahe's, and much more. But the coolest feture by far has to be the ability to use god power's. This feature alone gives it an edge over AoE.

The graphics are top-notch with the new 3D engine performing as expected. The musical score is also fantastic. Seriously if anybody enjoys a good complex and fun stratgey title, then you owe it to yourself to pick this game up.

If you like the main game, you will also like this

In a lot of ways, this is just more of the same, which is a good thing. If you like the main game, then you will also like this expansion.

I did note that this expansion is quite a bit harder than the main game. I ended up playing it at a lower difficulty, because I realized I just wasn't having fun.

This expansion adds a few gameplay twists. Many scenarios require you to either hold a position or protected certain things for a specified amount of time. Personally, I like scenarios where I am on the offense rather than the defense a lot better.

There also are a number of scenarios where you are somewhat limited in what you can do. Often, you can not create settlements for instance, which means that a lot of things you could normally do (like creating new workers) you can not do here. You simply have to do with what you are given.

Overall, I liked playing this expansion, although I liked the main game better.

Welcome Addition

The elements that the Titans expansion adds are incredible. The Atlantians are great to play and the fact that you can turn them all into heroes is very helpful.
Plus the the Titans are awesome!! The Titan's ability to destroy an entire civilization by itself is unbelieveable.
The only letdown for the game is that besides the addition of the Titan, there are no changes to the other races.

Great Visit on an Old Game (Style)

Although games of this type have been made buy the dozen, Age of Mythology still manages to give a new spin on the genre. With God powers, exceptionaly unique cultures, and a vast campaign, AoM manages to be a very good game.

Pretty Sweet Stuff!

I'm a huge fan of the AoE series, and when I heard that Microsoft was comming out with AoM I was excited. The game itself is very cool. Basically it is AoE with some interesting mythology mixed in and some different civs. There were a few problems, such as slow peons and little control over them, but theyre worth putting up with! The game graphics are very awesome for an RTS! AoE fans will most likely love AoM.

TOO SHORT

The gameplay of it is amazing. The plot is too. It is cool how they thought of using Kastor, son of Arkantos to continue as a sequel to Age of Mythology. The Titans were fun to play, so as the new myth units. But I used only 2 myth units during the whole Titans campaign! This is only 12 scenarios while the first one kept you entertained long enough as 32 scenarios! I just got this game yesterday, and I'm already finished with it! This game is easy, and if you know the cheats, it's a lot easier. It is sooooooooooooooo short! I thought I would actually use all of the myth units, but NO, i used only 2! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! SHORT!
If you want fun for maybe 2 days or 3, than I recommend you get the Titans, but if you really want to play long, than get the first Age of Mythology.

Nicely done, Ensemble

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!!
