I have been playing this game for two weeks now and I can't stop playing it! Lots of fun and lots of different ways to play. Online with multiplayer or with the random map that is like a quick game. I played through the entire story and it was fun! I loved becoming the hero and the troops do what I tell them. Man this is cool....It (as a game) is not easy unless you want the easy setting because the Titan setting will spank you. You can get another chance right away if you don't make it. Anyway, the game is well worth the money and fun to no end. GET IT TODAY![.]

Not as good as Age of Empires

I really looked forward to this game, but a lot of it is bells and whistles with less substance and staying power than AOE. Sure the graphics are amazing, Whales and other sealife swim just beneath the surface of a lovely ocean, all of the new creatures look great and the Atlantean scenario is fun. But, when you are done with that, once or twice, the random scenarios get pretty boring. What happened to the random map generator? I could play AOE for hours, days even, and always be suprised by the landscape layout. I don't play against other people, so maybe that makes it more interesting, but that is one of the things I like about AOE, it is engaging single player stategy game that while remaining familiar enough to get really good at always offers variety. AOM is more of a power packed creature/hero slugfest.

Excellent Game, But Gets old

I've been playing this game a long time now for almost a year. It has wonderful graphics and great sound quality. After I played it for awhile and completed the campaigns I needed somthing new. For advice, DO NOT BUY THE TITAN EXPANSION SET IF YOU TRULY LOVE THE ORIGINAL. The expansion set is great with the big mighty titans to battle with. So the expansion set made it better. I also reccomend starcraft.

PROS: CONS: (there aren't many)
Graet sound quality Get's old quick
Great Graphic
Cp. artificial players all have
Playing in Mutiplaye the same stradegy which
online works well. is the main cause of the game
getting old
Instructions are east to follow
And you catch on quick

Campaign Story Line is put
together well

OVER ALL: A very well put together game
for kids and adults alike

Just for a note people looking for a better strdegy game I reccomend starcraft. In age of mythology your are more focased on the big things. But in starcraft you have to pay attntion to allot of just the little things in the game.
Thanks for listening.

A ture and great game

Age of Mythology is a huge upgrade from Age of Empires: Age of Kings. First the graphics, sound, gameplay have been improved. To be honest I thought it was a big let-down at first, till I started playing the camplain. After that everything clicked. This play is just plain awesome.
(And a better than Warcraft 3)

Awesome is all I can say

Well this is the second computer game I have bought for my computer and after reading the reviews I figured I couldn't go wrong. Well this game lives up to everything great and wonderful you hear about. I mean the graphics are wonderful, the scenery is fantastic and the characters are unreal. I like the fact that you get to take as long as you want to build your village and army. I mean it is basically up to you when you finally decide to fight your opponent on the field. It's hours of fun and very very addictive, I had no idea it was 5am when I finally had to make myself go to bed haha! I mean you really get into the game it is awesome! I would highly recommend this game, the only flaw (which isn't really a flaw for some) it takes up a lot and I mean a lot of disc space so if you have a lot of disc space then ignore that but if you don't have that much then you may want to check out the details on this game before buying it because it does take up a lot. A friend of mine couldn't play on his computer because he didn't have enough. Other then that BUY THIS GAME it is awesome and I promise ... no regrets! Just give up your social life hahaha!!

GREAT GAME GREAT VALUE

I bought aom, thinkning it was a WC3 clone and for ... bucks, what the hell. BOY WAS I WRONG, AOM HAS GREAT GRAPHICS, FUN CITY BUILDING, GOD POWERS ADD TONS TO THIS GAME'S ALREADY GREAT LOOKS. THE WAR IS EVEN MORE FUN, CRUSHING YOUR ENEMIES WITH 9 DIFFERENT GODS! (LOKI,ODIN,THOR,ZEUS,HADES,POSIEDON,SET,ISIS,AND RA) THIS GAME IS CHALK FULL OF HOURS OF SINGLE PLAYER GAMES WHERE YOU ASSUME THE ROLE OF A GREEK WARRIOR NAMED ARKANTOS AND SOMETIMES WITH DIFFERENT FRIENDS..(ODYSSYOUS, AJAX AND SO ON) AND AFTER YOUVE BEEN PRIVELIGED WITH THE SINGLE PLAYER MODE, GO ON TO MULTIPLAY, IT IS FAST FURIOUS AND FUN, WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAME MODES AND A RATINGS SYSTEM.

I TRULY BELIVE THAT THIS GAME HAS OUTDONE ITS BIG BROTHER
WARCRAFT III

OVERALL RATINGS
GRAPHICS:98.8%
GAMEPLAY:96.9%
SINGLEPLAY:99.2%
MULTIPLAY:97.3%
OVERALL:97.8%
THE NEW WAR CRAFT III KILLER HAS ARRIVED AND THIS BAD BOY IS SERIOUS...IT CAME, IT SAW, AND IT STRUCK WC3 DOWN WITH A HUGE LIGHTNING BOLT FROM ZEUS!

Not much of an expansion pack, only exacerbates what was wrong with the first one

See my review of Age of Mythology for further depth.

When compared to such expansion packs as the tiny Starcraft: Brood War, the even tinier Warcraft II expansion, the hearty Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, and the massive Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge, this one is more within the realm of Starcraft: Brood War.

While Brood War only introduced some new maps, a new campaign, and some new units, this expansion pack introduces a whole new race fully playable in both skirmishes and the campaign. This race is reminiscent of the Greeks, only with more ancient units such as Myrmidons (think Troy) and more Cretan/Minoan looking architecture. This is Atlantis.

While the new race has its own new system of units, and a very unique form of worker which doesn't need to return to a drop-off point, this isn't enough to deter from the problem plaguing the original game. With the existence of all-powerful myth units and god powers, what is the point of having a human army?

This is only further exacerbated by the presence of Titans...

Rather than be restricted, a new ability is open to any race with enough resources to reach it first---they upgrade to some new "Age" above Mythic (I forget its name, I think it is called Titan Age) in which rather than change anything, they get a mound of rocks to place anywhere on the map. Then they send as many villagers as possible to work on it, and when it is done, a Titan springs up, different depending on your race and what Major God you have chosen.

While the Titan is not invincible, he may as well be, because with the short population cap you have, you're not likely to build enough units to withstand a Titan with an army to back it up. Titans are super effective against most all infantry, other myth units, and buildings.

Sort of changing a small problem from the first, God powers can be reused depending on what they are. For example, while meteor strike and earthquake and tornado and such an only be used once, the more base god powers like Trees of Gaia can be used up to four or five times (though not all at once)

And so the expansion pack not only doesn't change the flaws of the original, but exacerbates them with more super units, and the grossly overpowered Titans.

SImply the Best

The depth of game play, quality of graphics and AI in this game make it the most outstanding RTS. The rich array of units and the well balanced differences between races and gods makes the game extremely challenging and multiplayer games totally rock. This game will win over all the Age of Empires fans and create a heap more. definitely the game of the year.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Age of Mythology is awesome! Choose a major god of one of three civilizations. (9 in total). Advance through the ages under the worship of minor gods, and gain their favor. Favor is a new resource that is required to build some buildings and to create myth units and heros. The Greeks gain favor by praying at a temple. The Egyptians gain favor by building monuments. The Norse gain favor by fighting.
As you advance through the ages, you get god powers. You get four, and can only use each one once. The god powers include summoning a mighty Norse dragon or creating a meteor shower in your enemies territory.
ALL AGE OF EMPIRES PLAYERS SHOULD BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!

Age of Addiction

I thought I was addicted when one year I played Resident Evil on Playstation for an entire Christmas holiday. Now I have discovered Age of Mythology.

Oh, there was a couple of frustrated hours spent working out why I couldn't run the game. But after finding the answer buried away in the help text and downloading a new video adapter from a manufacturers website, I was in and everything was forgiven.

But the game really comes to life when you go on-line and play against other people. I have played against some nice people and some rather rude people. The game allows players to message each other on-screen and even sent audio taunts. Last night's "Now, you die" text from my opponent just before I beat the player was particularly satisfying. It's fun too coming up against players from other countries, one night I played against people from Spain, Canada and France. At any one time there seems to be between 2000 and 3000 players, so waiting for someone to play with you is not a problem.

This was the best money I have spent on a game in a long while and one of the few that have kept me awake until 2am. I recommend it.
