I bought this game because of my past experience with Age of Empires series. I must confess that i am a novice as for as games are concerned. I have played only three games (all on PC) Age of Empires, Age of Mythology & drum rolls please GTA San Andreas. Age of Mythology is certainly an improvement over AOE, however it is no comparison to Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. I bought both of the games simultaneously. And there is no comparison between the two games. GTA San Andreas is many times more versatile, fun, engaging, interesting, challenging then AoM. You can make an argument that these two games belongs to different categories, but if i want to play games for fun and challenge. Then i would choose GTA any day.

Hours of fun with just a touch of educational value

OK... so the comment of educational value might be a little much if you aren't interested in mythology and choose not to look at any of the context sensitive help, however if you do you'll be surprised at the amount of effort that went into the background that was documented for this game.

The game itself is a blast having grown from the same mold as Age of Empires and it's predecessors. The inability to zoom in closer to the action or rotate the camera does make it difficult to control at times. The campaigns that are included are fun, but have little replay value. This is more than made up for with the ability to play online and/or create new scenarios (can sometimes be a time consuming experience if you want to create something large) or generate them randomly (to get back playing quickly)

Age of Mythology Gold Edition is a great fun game. I love it. When I started playing my Mom had to confiscate it because I was playing it too much. It was all I thought about over the course of the first week.

Having played the original Age of Empires for years, this game was a little hard to understand in the beginning. I wish the book had contained more explanatory information. However, once figured out, it is quite a good game.

great game

The game is fun, easy to follow and educating.
the graphics are good and in detail. One thing the game slacks is on the choices for gods, they have combine the same units for different gods.

great game for the price

I bought this game through a third party on Amazon and the game came just as expected with great service. I was able to play the single player just fine and its a great game.

Now comes the part where it gets a little fishy. I was not able to get online and play the multiplayer for this game. I did some researcha nd come to find out Ubisoft and Valuesoft bought the selling rights to the game from Microsoft. There was a mistake somewhere down the line and all the cames have been shipped with the same CD key!!! I actually bought another copy thinking I had been scammed but it wasnt the case. The second copy I bought from BestBuy had the same CD keys.

Buyers will need to contact Ubisoft and Valuesoft to get valid copies of the CD keys. Ubisoft will make you send pictures, scans of the reciept and product code and open a ticket on their support site. They emailed the new CD keys back in two business days. Valuesoft on the other had makes it more difficult. You have to physically mail in the info (no copies) to their company and then wait for new CD keys in the mail. takes two weeks.

Overall this is an awsome game and the only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is because the manufacturer needs to pull their head out of you know where.

Armies clash in several battles. This time, they will use monsters to crush their enemies. And the gods will also help you!

The creators of Age of Empires brought us Age of Mythology! Then after that, they made the expansion pack. Years later, Age of Mythology and the X-pack was put in one box and was called "Age of Mythology: Gold Edition". And a while later, I got the game. Now, you should get the Gold Edition, it is worth the $30. But on with the review!

You start as 4 Civilizations (3 is added in the X-pack). 3 Major gods are in each civilization. Each god has different powers and abilities. And to advance in many ages, you must pick a minor god to advance to the next age.

Greeks:

Zeus

Hades

Poisidon

Egyptians:

Ra

Isis

Set

Norse:

Loki

Thor

Odin

Atlanteans:

Gala

Kronos

Oranos

Those are the major gods that you can pick. And that isn't just that; you can get a ton of myth units: minotaurs, scyllas, scorpion-men, Anbites, and more. And did I not tell you that minotaurs and cyclops can throw men?

Several god powers are in your hands! From lighting, earthquakes, to tornadoes and meteors. They can be used once (Atlanteans can use some powers twice or more.) Tornadoes are my favorite because when they enter a city, the devastation is heart-breaking for the enemy and their allies.

100 scenarios, online play in Ensemble Studios Online, and a map editor cannot bore anybody who is willing to play hard. Although I won a victory online after I bought the game because I was used to playing that hard. I like playing Ra because the pharoh and his priests can empower buildings and if you are attacking, the chariot rush is pretty good, and if you like defending, you should make elephants because a small number of elephants can hold out a large number of humans. Teamwork is very important to win a game, and did I not tell you that when you have an island, to put towers and forts on every part on the island. I lost my titan gate because I didn't save it. And what are titan gates? Titan gates and special and take a long time to build, and when it finishes, a powerful titan will be freed and they can turn the tide of battle! A single titan has 7000 hitpoints! But you can only create one! And really defend it because you could lose it to enemies. Always build heavy defence when building a gate, and when playing online, expect attacks.

If you are a RTS man who needs some chocolat for their ice cream, then AoM: Gold Edition is the chocolat of ice cream.

Brilliant Game Set, Fun at any Level

Absolutely fun game at any level.
Very good that they have the Mythology right as well !!!
It's a strategy game, but its enjoyable just as a game for games sake, and working against the Gods, and with them when it works that way, is radically fun. And you do not have to be a gamer to get a kick out of it.
Great Value at a sensible price. Awesome fun in so many ways.
You have to play it to know just how good it is, and the better you get, the higher your experience becomes.
