Rating: Summary: 0mg3rz!!! Review: All internet Mythers must get this game!!!! For all you people who have never played this game, I strongly recommend that you get the whole trilogy. It has great graphics, units, and a good story line.
Rating: Summary: Myth III, a pretty great game Review: As a huge fan of the original Myth and it's predecessor, Myth II, I was tempted not to buy the third installment based upon some of the lackluster reviews on this site. I disagree with the naysayers on the enjoyment of the single player game. I liked it very much. I would agree that it is not quite as good as the originals, but it is still an excellent game. Anyone who enjoyed either Myth I or II, should be very pleased with this game. It even inspired me to go back and replay the originals. I fully recommend this game.
Rating: Summary: Yes, but it deserves a chance Review: As indicated by a previous reviewer, Myth III is a work in progress. Mumbo Jumbo pushed the product out the door and sacked the development team since it had no new project lined up for them. The initial releases possesses a few bug (to be addressed by a patch within a few days of this message), but none which significantly hammpered play. The graphics are lush and the single-playter is an improvement over the previous Myth titles. Once the development team (working from home now) puts out the Vengeance editor, then a large number of mods should appear. The extremely poor ratings come mostly from die-hard fans of the Myth series who in part feel betrayed by Mumbo Jumbo's failure to carry through on all of its promises. Ironically, similar rhetoric appears in Civ 3 forums (although Civ 3 had fewer bugs). Anyone interested in a different gaming experience will find this truly enjoyable.
Rating: Summary: Game Released too early, too many bugs Review: Fans of Myth TFL and Myth 2 are better off passing on this title for now. Mumbo Jumbo GameSpy and Take 2 have ruined one of the greatest RTS titles ever. The 3D conversion makes even the fastest computers drop frames and ruins gameplay. The online multiplayer doesn't work properly, thanks to GameSpy, and results in many crashes. When you consider the fact that Bungie had the same multiplayer working well in 2 previous releases of Myth, it makes GameSpy look pathetic. Take 2 has already failed to deliver the Mac Version of this game as promised, and I have low expectations for this game ever being properly patched.

Rating: Summary: this game is a must Review: hey guys, this game is the best RPG ever seen. Trust me and get it immediatly, we are making a very nice online players community and we'd like to have lot of people in it in order of having a great fun!
Rating: Summary: Great Game! Review: How could they have gotten it all so wrong? Playing this game is less entertaining than work! Myth I and Myth II were fun. Myth III is tedium. In Myth III, the camera height isn't adjustable, the time can't be slowed or sped up, and it's difficult to move troops around. Overall, it is an excersize in frustration. If you buy this game, you will not be happy with your purchase.

Rating: Summary: Certainly not up to Myth II standards . . . Review: I am extremely disappointed with Myth III. As another reviewer wrote, this is simply not a Bungie game and does not live up to the quality of Myth II. The production seems shoddy and incomplete. I had problems getting the sound to work on my system. Some levels take forever to load, etc. The single player scenarios I've played so far are boring and the scenario descriptions seem lacking (i.e., it's often not clear what you're supposed to do on any given level). Seems like you have to do more running away from the enemy to get through the early levels than actual fighting -- I owe this to the fact the player units seem much weaker compared to the enemy than Myth II and overall the play isn't well balanced. Haven't played the multiplayer mode. Maybe it's worth it for that, but as far as the single player game goes, I definitely don't recommend this. You're better off sticking with Myth II.
