 Extreme Gaming: Massively Multiplayer, stunningly strategic, stupendous storyline, gourgeos graphics!!! August 19, 2005

Have you played Starcraft, Age of Empires, Age of Kings, Rise of Rome, or Star Wars Battlefield?
If you have, you should know what this is like... Create your civilization, decide what units to concentrate on, pick which god to worship, prioritize your defenses and your offensives, thats exactly what this is like.
Differences for AoE, AoK, etc, are that they have converted the game into 3-D, creating stunning effects of biuldings, units, rivers, and forests. Also it has a twist with the gods, so you may worship the gods of your choice, and become different advantags. There are three main cultures, each with different gods and sub-gods. They are Greek, Egyptian, and Norse. Each has unique advantages and dissadvantages, offering many hours of play.
After you are tired of the single-player and campaigns (that is, if you ever do) there is more!!! You can now easily log on to a server with hundreds of other players ready for a fight. And if you win, your rank raises. This lets you easily find the right person to play with.
Okay if you EVER get tired with those, just go to aom.heavengames.com, and over 100 more campaigns, maps, units, recorded games, and mods are ready of your use. Now with all of this can you ever get bored? Every preson will have a different style of play and there are SOOOOOOOOO many styles...
Now with all of this, THIS GAME ROCKS!!!
GET THE GOLD EDITION TODAY!!! SOOO CHEAP!!!
Armies clash in several battles. This time, they will use monsters to crush their enemies. And the gods will also help you! February 13, 2006

The creators of Age of Empires brought us Age of Mythology! Then after that, they made the expansion pack. Years later, Age of Mythology and the X-pack was put in one box and was called "Age of Mythology: Gold Edition". And a while later, I got the game. Now, you should get the Gold Edition, it is worth the $30. But on with the review!
You start as 4 Civilizations (3 is added in the X-pack). 3 Major gods are in each civilization. Each god has different powers and abilities. And to advance in many ages, you must pick a minor god to advance to the next age.
Greeks:
Zeus
Hades
Poisidon
Egyptians:
Ra
Isis
Set
Norse:
Loki
Thor
Odin
Atlanteans:
Gala
Kronos
Oranos
Those are the major gods that you can pick. And that isn't just that; you can get a ton of myth units: minotaurs, scyllas, scorpion-men, Anbites, and more. And did I not tell you that minotaurs and cyclops can throw men?
Several god powers are in your hands! From lighting, earthquakes, to tornadoes and meteors. They can be used once (Atlanteans can use some powers twice or more.) Tornadoes are my favorite because when they enter a city, the devastation is heart-breaking for the enemy and their allies.
100 scenarios, online play in Ensemble Studios Online, and a map editor cannot bore anybody who is willing to play hard. Although I won a victory online after I bought the game because I was used to playing that hard. I like playing Ra because the pharoh and his priests can empower buildings and if you are attacking, the chariot rush is pretty good, and if you like defending, you should make elephants because a small number of elephants can hold out a large number of humans. Teamwork is very important to win a game, and did I not tell you that when you have an island, to put towers and forts on every part on the island. I lost my titan gate because I didn't save it. And what are titan gates? Titan gates and special and take a long time to build, and when it finishes, a powerful titan will be freed and they can turn the tide of battle! A single titan has 7000 hitpoints! But you can only create one! And really defend it because you could lose it to enemies. Always build heavy defence when building a gate, and when playing online, expect attacks.
If you are a RTS man who needs some chocolat for their ice cream, then AoM: Gold Edition is the chocolat of ice cream.
Great First RTS Game! January 22, 2006
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
This game is great! The graphics are relistic while holding a mythic feel. The enviroments are beatiful, and it is a shame to chop down trees, kill animals, and build up the area. Battles are fairly easy and the AI doesn't fight often... perfect to new RTS gamers. The campain is well done. The cheats are too powerful for anything but the campain, however. For example, WRATH OF THE GODS gives you powerful god power. God powers are powers you can use once (with a few exeptions)which perform a number of results. The four culters are Greek, Egyptian, Norse, and Atlantis (which is only in the Titans Exspansion Pack)Overall, this is a great game.
Best computer game I've ever played!!! June 7, 2005

This game is amazing. It normally wouldn't have caught my eye, but my younger brother was addicted and wouldn't stop pestering me until I gave it a try. As it turns out, I liked it so much I had to buy my own copy. The controls are very fairly easy to get a hang of, which lets you concentrate more on your stategy, attack and defense.
The campaign option lets you play through an interconnected series of at least 30 mini-missions(don't know exactly off the top of my head)which leads you in turn through the Greek, Egyptian, Norse and Atlantean lands; each with unique Gods/Goddesses, heros, and mythological creatures. You also get a limited number of "God powers" (lightning, meteors, earthquakes,etc) granted to you, depending on which God you decide to focus on with each advancement.
The Titans expansion included with this game was a bit disapointing with that campaign being way too short (with only about 10 missions). I finished it in only 2 days.
*By the way- the previous reviewer said there was no online play for this game, which isn't true. I have played online, even the back of the box states there is online play(which is free).
Amazing strategy game! April 7, 2005

Age of Mythology is probobly one of the best strategy games that i have ever played. Following along the lines of Age of Empires, you have to pick a civilization (greek god civilization mostly) and battle against your enemies civilization.
PROS:
1.Graphics
2.Great fun!
3.Music
4.Lots of civilizations to pick/choose from.
5.Addicting
6.Challenging
7. Controls are fairly easy to get used to.
CONS:
1.Age of mythology only works with a limited amount of graphics cards if you want the most enhanced experience in playing the game.
2.No online capabilities
3. If you suck at strategy games, you will find this game overly challenging when you are playing campaign mode.
This game comes with both the original "Age of Mythology" and its expansion "Age of mythology THE TITANS." They are both very fun and must be bought immedietely!
I know i did add a few cons to the game, but that is not enough to give this game a lower then 5/5 star review!
