i do own this game and had many hours of fun. First off the graphics look bascially the dame of age of empires. Theres only 3 cultures other then you can choose your own god in each. This game does lag ALOT. I play for 15 mintues and it starts lagging. I also dont have a bad computer. its nothign new but if ur looking for a rts with beasts and stuff this i the one to get.

A change from the ususual hum-drum of average computer games. Mythological powers a pleasant suprise to unleash upon enemies. Interesting storyline, but several months later it's glory begins to pall leaving a satisfactory and enjoyable aftertaste. The ability to train mythological and human soldiers alike, is extremely useful and downright fun!!! God and goddess powers have convinent effects, such as Zues's thunderbolt, Hel's Nidhogg dragon, and Hemes' secret tunnel/passage way. Strongly recommended for the sightly expierenced and above gamers.
Age of Mythology by far surpases other rts's of today

This is the best game ever! I played it with my friend before I owned it and had so much fun! It really puts you in the game and helps you develop the harder and easier points of running your own civilization. Buy it now! Please.

the titans expansion pack adds a new civilization, new gods, and a new creature - the almost invincible titan - to age of mythology. there is also a new campaign, in which the atlantean civilization is highlighted. overall, the game play is great. there is a significant depth of strategy involved, and excellent multiplayer gives the game unlimited replay value. however, the price, almost equating that of the original game, is a bit steep, seeing as that only one civilization is added. Overall, a great game, but most aom fans could live without it
its truly a age

the best game on earth. the campain is great and the free map mode is the best. on one of the campain missions you get a giant statue that comes to life and you can fight with it
Extremely fun, but some complaints

Age Of Mythology, in my opinion, is the BEST GAME in the "Age Of Empires" series, and adds several new dimensions to gameplay, including God Powers, Myth Units, Heroes, and better tutorials. the included cinematics teach how to play as the Egyptians and Norse cultures, while the interactive Learn to Play campaign teaches how to play as the greeks. The gameplay is streamlined and fun, and the different god powers and major god's bonuses can REALLY affect gameplay and choices. I only have 4 major complaints. 1: the population limit. you can only have a limited amount of units, which can be increased by building Town Centres and Houses. that's a great concept, but you can only have 10 houses, throwing a wrench into anybodies hopes of building a huge army which is designed to be the focal point of the game. oh, yeh, and you can't build town centres untill the heroic age (third age of 4) 2: The Campaign: the campaign starts having a great plot, an admiral who's past his prime and just fighting pirates for atlantis (who get to become a distinct culture in AOM: The Titans expasion pack)who gets flung into an adventure that determines the fate of both Mortals and Immortals, but gets bad quick, about halfway into the Egyptian part. the bad guy keeps going to more places to extend his plan, (SPOILER) until we find out there's one more portal, in Atlantis, where it ends abruptly and our hero gets turned into an immortal.(END SPOILER) the hero from egypt is great, but there are no real major characters from the norselands. 3: The AI, they always just amass huge armies and let them sit. and even worse, the AI civilizations who are your allies always mooch off you, and you can't change your diplomatic stance (Which isn't fixed in TITANS)4: the Editor, it's far too complicated. And moddings difficult, even for this 12-year-old gifted computer whiz. On a happy note, the random maps are very fun, and a lot of planning needs to be done.
AOM VS CIV III (alone)
Unit Management: in civ 3, every unit needs to be moved individually, which gets VERY tedious.
AOM proves that RTS is better than turn-based.
score: AOM: 1 CIV: 0
Empire Management:
Civ 3 invests a lot in empire management, so much it becomes another dimension to play.
AOM doesn't have any of that, everyone follows your orders blindly, there is no morale, no taxes, NOTHING.
AOM: 1 CIV: 1
Age Advancement
Civ 3 makes you research many, many techs to advance ages, seen on a tech tree. While realistic, it gets tedious and annoying.
in AOM, advancement is as easy as pushing a button. infact, that's just about all there is to it. just get some food and gold and build something. unrealistic, but easy.
AOM: 2 CIV III:1
Game Length
any game of civ 3 is a huge investment of time. it can take months to finish, but sometimes that makes it all the more fun.
AOM games are quick and simple, usually taking 1-2 hours alltogether. it even includes a timer that tells you, to the second, how much time the game took.
quick and funs good, and so is a long investment. I gave them both a point.
AOM:3 CIV III: 2
So when it comes down to it, aom IS funner than civ 3, but just. Play Age Of Mythology, you might just like it.

AoM is a great RTS. The unitsare funn to use and the strategy involved is in my opinion better than WC3. The only problems is that gameplay in the single payer campaign gets repetetive. Buy this game if u like RTSs.
P.S: im over 13 i just dont have a credit card.
