 age of mythology review, 2008-10-30
the game in general is good, the only thing is that the seller lied about it being from microsoft when it was a ubisoft edition, and the real edition comes with 2 disks not 1. the multiplayer is not accessible.
Super Multiplayer! Decent campaigns, 2008-10-30
This is, overall, a good RTS. The gold edition has 2 campaigns, AoM and Titans. In the Campaigns, you will watch cutscenes of what is happening and complete objectives, such as plundering villages, Ripping apart Titans, Rescuing charachters, and more. I have to admit, I loved playing the Titans campaign, but the real gem here is the online Multiplayer. It redeems the existence of the game. Usually around 1000 other people at a time are on, so there are plenty of players. In the game, you create villagers/citizens, to gather resources and build buildings. You advance to the classical age, and you are ready to train troops. There are 4 civilizations you can be, and 12 major gods.
Norse: Norse use troops to build buildings. They recieve decent human units, and good myth units. Mostly norse myth units (monsters) are giants.
Atlantis: Atlanteans are very expensive, and expansive. They tend to own most of the map. They have no other strengths, but no weaknesses. Citizens are villagers who work 3 times as efficiently and are only available to Atlanteans.
Greek: The most straightforward of the 4 civilazitions, the Greeks have the strongest units. They have good villagers, but they are really expensive. Also,a greek player can be destroyed easily with just a little cunning.
Egyptian: A very defensive civilization, Egyptians get free arrow-shooting Towers. They also have defensive units known as Mercenaries, which can help guard a town in times of emergency.
If you can't play online, or do not play Multi-player, then don't buy this game. The campaigns are fun, but if you only want to play them, maybe you should try Rome: Total War. Otherwise, this game is a great choice which you do not need a DVD-Rom drive to play. The graphics are fine, they are nothing special, but they are good enough to look at lol. You will also learn a lot with Mythology. But trust me, this is a good game.

This is a big hit with our grandaughter and her friends. She loves it, and they play almost every day.

I liked this game a lot because of the god powers you can have and all the mythological creatures from ancient civilizations.
