Great Visit on an Old Game (Style)

Although games of this type have been made buy the dozen, Age of Mythology still manages to give a new spin on the genre. With God powers, exceptionaly unique cultures, and a vast campaign, AoM manages to be a very good game.

Colleen McEdwards and her family play "Age of Mythology: The Titans Expansion" because it's Colleen's Favorite Strategy Game. Colleen and her family have it in "Kings & Myths: The Age Collection". The Titans Expansion requires "Age of Mythology" to play.

All around very good. The graphics are high quality. They are much better than that of a seemingly stunning Warcraft 3. The units are good. They are similliar to those of Age of empires. However when you get your myth units you can get some very cool things. The god powers are very unique. There is a good amount of choices so each time you play it can be different. The story is great. All around I think that it is better than Warcraft three.

TOO SHORT

The gameplay of it is amazing. The plot is too. It is cool how they thought of using Kastor, son of Arkantos to continue as a sequel to Age of Mythology. The Titans were fun to play, so as the new myth units. But I used only 2 myth units during the whole Titans campaign! This is only 12 scenarios while the first one kept you entertained long enough as 32 scenarios! I just got this game yesterday, and I'm already finished with it! This game is easy, and if you know the cheats, it's a lot easier. It is sooooooooooooooo short! I thought I would actually use all of the myth units, but NO, i used only 2! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! SHORT!
If you want fun for maybe 2 days or 3, than I recommend you get the Titans, but if you really want to play long, than get the first Age of Mythology.

Great game.. but extremly unstable

I have to say, the game in itself is just great. I first bought it because of the reviews I had read right here, and I absolutely do not regret the purchase. I'm having a great time going through the campaign - I actually just finished the main campaign, and downloaded the little extra (free!!) one from the AOM website.

That being said, I do have to say that there is something wrong with it. From day 1, the game has quit (unexpectedly, as worded on the MS support website). I have spent over 2 1/2 hours on the phone with MS tech support reps, and all they could do was to walk me through the exact same steps that are listed on the website under that particular issue - that wasn't much of an help. They acutally still call me once in a while to know if my issue was resolved (it still quit "unexpectedly"). needless to say, the issue remains. I don't think I am the only person with that problem, and I think MS doesn't really know what causes it.
I love the game, and I put up with it closing on its own, but it's really frutrating. I almost spend more time saving it then actually playing!!

Nicely done, Ensemble

Age of Mythology: The Titans is an extremely well put together game. An entirely new race, new units, tech, god powers, buildings, and of course, the Titans.

The Titans are these enormous things that take quite a while to build, but once they go up, they're not coming down!
Almost like the superweapons in Command & Conquer: Generals,
you can terrorize the enemy 'till your heart's content.

There is simply so much in this game, it's hard to remember it all.
The new campaign is interesting and has a better story then most full games.

The voice acting is great, but that was to be expected.

Every single unit in the game has been balanced against the other, so there is as equal chance of winning and losing.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what a good game should be.

Ups:

Nice and entertaining
Good unit balancing
The game is pretty
The Titans make you feel powerful

Downs:

Titans seem unbalanced
Rock-scissors-paper units may turn some players off
The game ends.

Best computer game i've played on mac!!!!!!

this game is great if you have a fast computer. but this game is just like Ensemble studios said it would be.There is a populationn limit though.The only way you would hate this game is if you hate strategy games,or for some reason you just don't like Mythology.I think it is What the age of empires series wasn't,And with Gods!to control

FANTASTIC!

Age of Mythology is by far the best game I have played in months. It combines the Empire Building of the first 2, AOE and AOK, with gods and myths, which makes it all the more interesting. The graphics are vastly improved from the earlier editions, with an nice new 3D engine. The campaigns were a highlight also. 35 levels and 65 cutscenes, and only 2 of the 110 were bad! Leading the Atlanteans was great. However, the best parts of the game was using the god powers. These could change a game in a second, and really made it interesting. This is a great game that I strongly recommend, even if you have not played the first 2 games.

The good and the bad

This is a must have for gamers that love RTS (real time strategy)

The Good:
Long, interesting, and challenging campaign
Good Graphics (not great graphics)
Lots of tie-ins to real mythology in 3 major regions
Good powers and mythological creatures add an interesting twist to the Age of Empires World
Many revolutionary ideas about strategy games are introduced in this game

The Bad:
AI (outside of campaign) is a mindless death machine that just lumbers around the map
limited "random map" choices
The "Titans" expansion pack is not available on mac

Over all it is a fun game that anybody that loves strategy or mythology will enjoy. Although it has a few problems, the good out ways the bad. I have had countless fun games with friends fighting the computers on the hardest setting. Even though the AI is pretty stupid, they are still very deadly.

This game is well worth the money.
