Summary: An excellent installment for the Age of Mythology saga
Review: First of all let me tell you that this is one of the best expansion packs I've seen and played so far.

Age of Mythology caught my attention and made me play it for months. It was fairly easy to use and the topic it covered, mythological units and human units fighting side by side, was addictive.

It dealt with only 3 civs, Norse, Greek & Egyptian, but each civ had not even their own peculiarities but also their very own gods which made the customizing level so high you could see each side with their very own units.

Now a new civilization, the Atlanteans, appears on stage and it's, IMHO, the best of all. They are slow but very very powerful.

But the title of the game derives from the new myth unit, the Titan. Each civ can summon one titan to their aid. These units are HUGE (I really mean it) and the most powerful of the whole game. They can tear building to pieces in one second and normal units are like mosquitoes for them. Be aware!

The game adds a new campaign dealing with the misfits of the son of Arkantos, the last Atlantean, trying to set up a new Atlantis.

I haven't given this game a 5 star because I consider that only 1 civilization is not enough. I know there are not many nations which had a huge pantheon of gods, but there could have been other choices also, such as Hindu mythology for instance.

Overall, if you liked Age of Mythology you're gonna love Titans. It'll give you many and many hours of fun and you won't regret buying it.

Summary: Age of Mythology for Mac Review
Review: Please note: Amazon combines reviews for this basic game, the Titans expansion, the Collector's Edition, and the various operating systems all together. This review concerns only the Mac version. It specifically does NOT address the any of the Windows versions, which may indeed be spectacular. In fact, the Mac version might well be spectacular, but after spending time and money, I really can't say since it won't load correctly.

I'd love to play Age of Mythology--it looks fantastic, and I'm an addict for Age of Empires. But after convincing my loved ones to shell out relatively big bucks for it, and opening it with great joy at Christmas, and installing it with wide-eyed anticipation, I was met not with centaurs and pyramids, but only heart-rending despair. Textures didn't load, so I got odd looking polygon characters and buildings in blue and white instead of Gods and Goddesses. Oddly enough, palm tress came out okay.

Must be a faulty install, right? So I de-installed and re-installed...no luck. Surely there's information in the booklet or on the web page? Nope...but there is contact information, only on the web page.

After a short flurry of e-mail--and I must admit, MacSoft's promptness was greatly to be admired--I was told that there's a driver problem with OS 10.2.8, and since it's a driver problem, there's no fix available. MacSoft's suggestion was that I should upgrade my OS to Panther. Of course, that may play havoc with all the other software I currently use.

My suggestion to MacSoft is that they clearly label the fact that Age of Mythology doesn't work with OS 10.2.8 on the product box itself, in the Read-Me file with the installer, and on their webpage. Since OS 10.2.8 is one of the most common upgrades for OS X, to do otherwise treats the customer most poorly. I'm extremely disappointed.

Summary: OVERALL SCORE: (B-/C+)
Review: Not as good as, Age of Empires, too fake/hokey, not nearly as much fun to play. Only improvement is the farmers only need to be told to start a farm once, not every time the farm is exhausted [big improvement in game play].

Summary: TOO SHORT
Review: 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.

Summary: Nicely done, Ensemble
Review: 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.

Summary: Best computer game i've played on mac!!!!!!
Review: 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

Summary: FANTASTIC!
Review: 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.

Summary: Just get it
Review: Its simple. If you already have Age of Mythology, and LOVED IT, then most certainly get Titans. This game adds so much to the original version with more units, and one extra civilization. The multiplayer gameplay has improved greatly.
