Age of Mythology Review
What is not good about this game. I have played many Real Time Strategy (RTS) games and this is the one I always come back too. Age of Mythology orginally came out some time around 2002 for the computer. I purchased Age of Mythology Gold which included the expansion Titans. I am use to playing the Titans expansion so I will merge the orginally and expansion into one, because once you play Age of Mythology you will want more of it. The game comes with two stories. They are difficult. I think I was only able to beat them with cheats. lol. The campagins is not the higlight of this game. I love to play a simply LAN (Local Area Network) match against my younger brother or with him agaisnt a bot. Even playing a bot by yourself can be fun. There are four different factions to choice from: Greek, Egyptian, Norse, and Atlantean. From each of those their are three different gods to worship from the factions. That equals twleve different gods to use which leads to many different tactics and ways to play the game. There is also multipalyer (there use to be anyways) and it was great. The level editor is the best I have used in a RTS video game. By best map was this level I made where you paly against the god Gaia. It was me and my cousing aganit her. She regenerats health almost instantly and when we triumphed it was great. See if you can beat her. When making my levels it was easy to learn how to incorporate triggers and such other elements. For being an old PC game the graphics are good. They about as good as Age of Empires 3. The music helps add to the gameplay. The villagers talk an unkown language that make me laugh (not like the Sims). I guess I should end the review of this fantastic game so I can go play it, 97%
Agreed, this game is old school but it rocks!
