Rating: Summary: WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: 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!!!!!!!!

The story line is exciting and moves along well, the game play is superb and the graphics and phenomenal. If you like Age of Empires then these are the games for you
Rating: Summary: Not what I really expected Review: The expansion really surprises me. 12 scenarios in the campagn was very disapointing. Also there was almost no storyline in the campagn. The Atlanteans were almost the same as the Greeks. The Titans all have the same animations. The Titans really unbalances the game. The new units were not really interesting. But all the graphics and AI were good at least. I did not expect there were only 6 new random maps. (I think)I honestly believe that the original game was better.

Rating: Summary: Addicting Review: First, let me lay down the basics of the game. AoM is a real time strategy game. You choose which civilization you want to be: Greek, Norse or Egyptian (and Atlanteans with the Titan's expansion). You build up an empire using villagers, who gather rescources. You need these rescources to build military buildings, fortresses and economic buildings. These buildings will let you train more villagers, military units and give you acess to upgrades if you have the rescources to "pay" for them. You march your military units to your opponent's town and tear down his or her town to pieces. Or you expand and take over the land, giving you acess to more gold mines and forests, which is very crucial. You also worship certain gods over the course of the game, and they will grant you certain powers, like the ability to turn your enemy's soldiers into pigs. AoM is very pleasing to the eye. It's fun to see a cyclops pick up a war elephant and chuck it across the screen. When a player casts an earthquake, the whole terrain actually rolls. The more subtler details--like the rocks barely visible beneath the ocean's surface--add a new layer of aesthetic depth as well. The graphics are stunning IF YOU HAVE ALL THE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS. So before you buy the game, make sure you do. Single player is very predictable: the AI will mindlessly throw armies at you at the same place over and over again. However, you can control the difficulty level of the game you play against the AI. You will defintely see a difference between the difficulty levels--easy, moderate, hard and titan-- and this will make single player games more compelling. Once you start multiplayer games, you will see that the game has an ungodly learning curve. The basics are easy to get down, but thats because its the basics: and of course everything goes beyond the basics. The multiplayer games are brutally agressive and fast paced. Wave after wave of armies come and batter your town--and unlike single player games, you have to deal with the unpredictability of humans. You have to defend, attack, expand, manage your villagers, manage your military, manage your rescources, make upgrades, replenish soldiers and lost buildings, all at the same time. Its not all that easy, but its fun. Also, time matters a lot (its called REAL TIME STRATEGY). Even a minute's delay can literally lose you the enitre game. To become an intermediate or expert player, you need to be willing to take an incredible amount of abuse and losses. It can get frustrating, but the good news is that you'll always have a solid challenge.
Rating: Summary: Not as expected Review: I bought Age of Mythology expecting more of the same Age of Empires playing experience. To be honest, this AOM fell somewhat short of my expectations. The graphics were too "spongy" compared to AOE and I thought that the dieties were "gimmicky" and really added little to the playing experience. If you are looking for more AOE, try the Conqueror's Expansion pack. AOM is diverting but gets old fairly quickly.
Rating: Summary: Dissapointed Review: Honestly, I am very dissapointed in the Expansion set. It was definitely not worth the 29.95 I payed for it. A campagn with 12 missions and almost no story line is NOT what I pay $30 for. I agree that the graphics and AI are well done, but my favorite thing about any strategy game is the campagns. They are what made Age of Empires II so playable, the campagns were awesome, and you almost got some history in them. I think a campagn based on the Iliad or Odyssey would have come out fabulous. But this.... War Craft III on the other hand has several campagns ranging from RTS strategy to a sort of RPG. They did a excellent job in my opinion. I honestly think that the campagn for The Titans expansion was just not the bang for the buck.
Rating: Summary: Hours of great entertainment Review: I bought this game when it first came out. I love fantasy strategy games and this one is one of the best. Great art, great storyline, great characters, weapons, and scenarios.
