Not as good as the first 2 games - gone are the anime cutscenes we loved and all of the cool voices and sound effects. they are replaced by some really cheesy new voice actors and shoddy movies. It's obvious Bungie had really hardly anything to do with this - they would never have dreamed of releasing such a poorly put together project. Bring back Bungie!

Definitely not a Bungie game...

I'm not new to the Myth universe. When the world was ranting and raving about Starcraft's build-it-as-big-and-as-fast-as-you-can mentality, I was a Myth nut and proud of it. That said, Myth 3 falls short of the greatness which was Myth 2 and Myth: TFL in a number of ways.
First, the Myth 3 single-player experience sucks. Defeating the single-player levels in the previous two installments required taking the terrain into account during every step of the way. No other RTS was as enviromental as Myth, and Bungie exploited this for all it was worth, resulting in very rich gameplay. Myth 3 does not develop upon strategic use of terrain. Most of the battles are on flats and meadows; they're pretty boring compared to the rolling landscapes and hazards of the first two. And as stupid as it may sound, the voice acting fails to get me Myth-ified in this one.
The second thing that bugged me was the graphics. The addition of polys (instead of sprites as was the previous norm) is a nice touch. But anyone who remembers the first two Myth games is scarred for life by the spectacular dwarfen/wight explosions and the limbs which would fly everywhere as a result. This special effect has been preserved....it looks two or three years old and it shows. When an explosion blows someone to pieces, it looks like a bunch of random body parts fly from where the person used to be. Even Myth 2, based in sprites, produced a much more convincing blast. I know it's a small caveat, but it's a ton of the little details such as this one which bring this Myth universe down from magnificient to merely average.
Admitedly, I never tried the Myth 3 multiplayer. If it was simply carried over from the first two games, I'd be content. It'd be hard to improve upon the perfection of the first two in terms of all the options, units, maps, etc, and I acknowledge this.
A valiant effort, but it is painfully evident that the legendary Bungie was not behind the development of Myth 3. It's too bad that Bungie lost the Myth franchise when they were purchased by Microsoft. This game could've been great--it simply lacks the polish.

Game Released too early, too many bugs

Fans of Myth TFL and Myth 2 are better off passing on this title for now. Mumbo Jumbo GameSpy and Take 2 have ruined one of the greatest RTS titles ever. The 3D conversion makes even the fastest computers drop frames and ruins gameplay. The online multiplayer doesn't work properly, thanks to GameSpy, and results in many crashes. When you consider the fact that Bungie had the same multiplayer working well in 2 previous releases of Myth, it makes GameSpy look pathetic.

Take 2 has already failed to deliver the Mac Version of this game as promised, and I have low expectations for this game ever being properly patched.

AVOID THIS PRODUCT

This product is defective. After hours of effort, I cannot get the game to boot up. If you bought it based on love for the other two Myth games, you are in for a shock. This is not a Bungie.com product. They are gone. In the wake left behind their departure, the game comes with disclaimer referring to two known problems. It references a website that does not respond. My disappointment knows no bounds. I plan to return it.
