HARD TO IMPROVE ON PERFECTION

It really is hard to improve on perfection. There are a few games that come out every year that make you say Wow, now this is what a PC Game should be. Then there are a few very special games that you find every 3-4 years that seem to stay on your hard drive for several years. This is one of those games. Age of Mythology is a masterpiece. Its one of those titles that us RTS buffs drool over but its also a game for those folks that strategy games just dont appeal. There is something for everyone here. The 3D Engine that powers this game is amazing. As soon as the opening movie starts you know that this is something special. This game has the most realistic terrain, water, special effects ect... to date from a strategy or any other game type. The cimematics are beautiful and move a truly impressive storyline. The online game has a new proprietary matchmaking system as well that keeps a good balance for all skill levels making it much easier for novice players not to be so outmatched playing the online community. If you have played the Age of Empires series of course you will be right at home but this game is so much more. Three separate civilizations each managed in their own unique way throws curves at you just when you think you have it all figured out! The "God Powers" Tornados, Meteors,Lightning, (just to name a few) that turn the game in an instance is also incredible, be wise though because you can only "invoke" each power once per game. The characters are also very unique. They move as if they are truly real, not to mention the mythology creatures! If you want a title that you will not soon forget, look no more.

definitely the best game microsoft has ever produced

We'll it might as well be called that. This game follows the tried and true gameplay of Age of Empires and add's a few more twists to it such as god favor(a resource to manage) and god powers(abilities to help your civilization grow). The single player is long enough and very fun. Each civilization is very varied, however, there are only a few civilizations like in Warcraft 3. Still this is a great spiritual successor to age of empires and a great rts.

the age of mythology

The highly anticipated game, age of mythology is a huge smash! The creators created a phenomonal new computer game that will have you hooked. The graphics of this game are probably the best that i have ever seen. This is a great game. You should buy it.

Great game, but really hard

Great graphics, wonderful gameplay, but it is really hard to fight. I tried fighting the anubites and the red spearmens, and it so hard. Multiplayer on the internet is really crappy. Halo for PC multiplayer keeps me entertained alot more. You actually know who you are and where your enemy is. Everything else in fun. I recommend you to go out and buy it. It's inexpensive and the campaign is fun if you know what to do that is.

1 OF THE GREATEST GAMES EVER MADE!!

I like most RTS and RPG games. This one is absolutely excellent!!
It has pretty much everything... campaign editor, online battles, chat room, cinematics, and each country has it's own campaign. It has 3 countries like Starcraft's 3 races Greek (Protoss strength), Egyptian (zerlike in strength and unit productian), and Norse (witch I haven't prsonally played but are neither really strong or really slow. However, if your a major Blizzard fanatic like myself, you will be surprised at the size of the units. The minotaur are as big as a protoss zealot. At least you can still tell the difference between them. Unfortunately the campaign editor isn't at all user friendly. Yet the god powers and Myth creatures make up for most of it. The "battle net" isn't that easy to use either. But if your desperate for a fight with another human, you can always get there with patience. The Myth units are amazingly powerful and have great appearances, the Leviathan, the Cyclops, the War Turtle, etc. All together this game RULES! However, if you want an easy game to beat, get something else, this is real strategy, not luck like some other games like Diablo which I fiercly detest. By the way, you may want to pick up the Strategy Guide as well, it'll help.

The best game so far in strategy

I am a big big fan of military warfare and mythology and I loved the trial. The graphics I believe are better than the well known Empire Earth. A must buy game!!

Developer Rick Goodman has done it again- made a really fun RTS with some important new elements. The most important parts are the three unique civilizations, god powers, and mythological units. For example, if you decide to worship Hera, you can get Medusas and the lightning storm power. There is also a really good campaign, with more than thirty levels, where you play as the greek hero Arkantos. In all, this is a fun game that is definitely worth getting.

This game rules... but be warned...

System Requirements: Macintosh computer with a 450MHz or faster processor, OSX 10.2.8 or higher, 256MB RAM, 16MB video card, and CD-ROM drive.

I didn't have a new version of OSX. It didn't run till I got my new Mac, with the latest OSX on it. Other then that, it is an awesome
game, with lots of new ideas from the AOE2. If you just got your Mac, get this game.
