Not worth it...

Age of Mythology, the original, is a great game. The campaign is fun. The random map games are great.The animation is stunning. The monsters and units are well thought out. I would DEFINITELY suggest the original.

**HOWEVER** I feel this expansion pack was not worth the money at all. I played with it installed for about a half hour (and used cheat codes to investigate all the new things) and then promply uninstalled and sold it. The ONLY fun part about it was actually getting the titans, but the atlantians are pitiful in the sense of buildings and units. I was very disappointed in it.

If you feel like trying it, go ahead. But I would not suggest buying it.

Expansion is very disapointing

Well the first one was very nice, making difrent types of units to counter or lead atackes waching the great graphics or using gods powers to shmash your enemiews to bits or to restor or units or even your economy, but the canpaingne way way way to short. unlike the other age of ****** games that ive played over the year this campaigne focuses on the same story over and over again i mean come on (at first, you must please posident and kill troy) ok ive done that movign on (now revive the egyptian god ) ok finished (rebuild thors hammer to revive his strength ) im not sure about you but i see a patern there, REVIVE THE GODS i mean ya its cool but over and over and over again??? it gets alitle boring! just a bit, also what i noticed is that you make them to easy even in titan mode i made when i had to renunit the pieces of osiris or re-awake the gaurdian i didnt even need osiris or the gaurdian to finish the army that came after sure lets give them cheap units that can kill anything that freaking has less then 14000 hp in one hit! Or when i had to survive norse atack for 15 minuts lol that was the funiest one ever i just went and destroyed there citeis from the start and then i see a army actualy bigger than mine so i think finaly i get to use startagy no just watch units fight each other but tell them what to atucally do and kill him eventho i have a smaller army but no! you just have to let me win after i break a stone wall down? i mean come on were not new to these games we have all played at least of age of **** game before in our lives! in the other age of ******* games we had to actualy destroy the army at the end we had to use our brains to think how we can use our smaller armies aginst that huge one in a small amout of time and you made sure we coudnt get a bigger army then there with population limits now that was fun. no moving on to the expasion...IM VEry DISAPOINTED! the atleantians are wwwwaaaaayyyyyy to over powered i mean come on so what the they have a jackass carring there food.gold/wood for them that blody basket sould get full some time soon all the units came become hereos and reusable god powers? sure that may sound good but its get boring smashing the poeple online that are true to the oldies and wana win the old FUN way but alway encounter noobs that never played this game before and somehow manage to beat them with atleantians i mean i can just send an army of 20-70 men into my enemy base and contuniu ordering my vilager knowing il win the fight but in the old game you had to comand you armies t use there advantages over other units not just go and start smashing a castle when the are 35 units hakking away at you! over all you guys reuind the game, maby im just to good at it and i need a chaleng that why i beat all you campaignes in titan mode in 5 hours time and the expansion in 2 hours time when on age of conqurers i keept tasting defate at i didnt sleep all night for i was thinking of a new way to put my ennemies in there place!

Remember the old ways poeple sometimes there funner

I love PC strategy games. I have to say that "Age of Mythology" was a let-down from the progression of the "Age of Empires" titles. I think "Age of Mythology" was probably being used by Ensemble Studios as stop-gap money earner, and also a building block for the next game in their AOE series.

The Good: In Age of Mythology, Ensemble made the jump to a 3-D graphics engine, which is now expected from all RTS games by the gaming community. It also has that same "feel" of an "Age" game, and the same style and ease of use through the User-Interface. The cultural specialization of the games civilizations is also very well done.

The Bad: One word - "scale". While the rest of the RTS genre was going "Epic" - massive battles, huge fortifications, very large maps, complicated economies, yada, yada... Ensemble went small scale with "Age of Mythology". Don't expect to see more than around 120 units in any single army in this game. Also... the whole "Mytholgy" aspect may be a bit of a turn-off to those who are accustomed to the more "historical/real-world" background of the "Empires" series.

The ugly: Graphics - Even when "Age of Mythology" was released, the detail was lack-luster, and obtuse, even with all the graphic bells 'n' whistles turned on. Note to Ensemble - if your going to go small scale when building a game, you need to make the graphics spectacular.

My advice - if you are a big fan of the "Age of Empires" series, skip "Age of Mytholgy" altogether... hold out for "AOE III".

Thinking of buying it

...the game has a rich story, cool units (even the "mundane" non myth units are cool!) and excellent online play. it might not be as good as warcraft 3 but it is still a wonderful game

Great game, highly recommended!

If you really liked AOE and AOK and you like Mythology than you will like this game. It is cool how you advance to each age by worshipping a minor god. The story is well done for the single player campaign. Some minor gods that you worship have more than one mythological unit even as much as three. If you do not like Mythology than stay away from this game because it would not interest you at all. There is only minor problems with the game but nothing serious. My favorite group to play with is the Greeks. I gave it five stars and wait for an expansion to come out for it. People who thinks this game is not good should re-check their thinking because it is a really great game and because others did not like it does not mean that others will not. Not everyone shares the same opinion but at least stop whining about how bad the game was because it makes it look bad for others that may think it is a great game.

too bad

This was a really horrible game. It doesn't compare t Age of Empires.

Mythology should be spelled "Empire"

While at the mall, I was pretty bored of most strategic games. So I picked up Age of Mythology thinking I would be treated to a great gift. But now I have mixed feelings for the game.

It is just like ages of empires. The resources are the same and gathering them are the same. But there is a new one called favor. To buy myth units or certain upgrades you need favor. For the Greeks you pray at a temple, Egyptians build monuments, and Norse fight. The Greeks are basically the regular race. The main one in the game. They are okay, but kinda boring after a while. The Egyptians have cool god powers, and do not really need to chop wood for any reason. The Norse are the best, they have the best units and can build quickly with their army. While playing online, Norse always dominate because they build several fortresses right outside your town then attack. Because Norse build buildings with their infantry, they have a huge advantage. But their godpowers are not that great compared to the other races.

God powers are given to you when you advance an age. If you advance to a new age you get to pick a minor god to worship, and each god has its own god power. Most of the god powers are kinda lame, and you can just waste. Zeus has a lighting bolt which kills one unit, but does not kill main units in the story, so it has no point. The only good ones are meteor, tornado, plenty vault, and earthquake. Meteor and tornado are the best Egyptian god powers, because they decimate areas of buildings. Earthquake and plenty vault rock. Earthquake belongs to the Greek and totally destroys every building in an area. Plenty vault also belongs to the Greek and provides a steady resource flow.

But the fighting gets old. The unit selection is awesome, but still, norse will win. Norse have the best units and just rock. Egyptian do not need alot of wood, so they can be good. Greek needs everything and the only rewarding experience is the 2 god powers I mentioned above. If you truly love ages of empire you can like this game. Most missions result in you killing one unit, then going on to the next mission and rebuilding your base all over. So the campaign gets really frustrating. Especially on moderate where the attacks are constant. In all seriousness, if you want to buy this game go ahead, but please wait till it is on sale.

This is a good game to get. You can do alot. The campain mode is fun but can be hard at times. You can even make your own map. One of the best parts is the online play. There is Quick setup (the games you play are rated.) And there are Advance setup (the games you play are not rated.) I think you should do the advance setup first to get up your skills then try quick setup when you think your ready. If you press the F4 key it will show you who may be doing better in the game. There are codes to this game but i'll not tell you in my review.
This is a fun game to have.
