This rts game is one of the easiest to play for how much fun it is. My first game i struggled to survive god powers from the enemy, attacked them with a massive army, lost and then cut out their resources after almost losing my base. The point is it was a roller coaster as were all my other games with the hear pounding defensive maneuvers to the triumph of fortifying crucial resources. All of the aspects are amazing. The selection of gods won't keep you bored. The only thing that is bad is the cinematic mode which you might want to use because you want to see a jackal fighting alongside a spear wielding greek soldier. This game will keep you satisfied, and all the maps will shake it up a little if you somehow become bored with this near perfect rts game.… Expand

It's da bomb.

Jesus Christ, do games get any beter than this? thats all i have to say about his one.

I just like it. I would kill my mother for it!

Perfect score. Best game ever, get this game. Sweetest thing I ever played, better than "Warcraft III."

Very simple and easy to understand. It's fun, and the best thing is that it's so varied in terms of the campaign's levels and maps. Greek, Egyptian and Norse each have three gods with different abilities. The gameplay is simple, fun and to add to the compelling story is the beautiful soundtrack. The levels have great variety and complement the story. It's not copy and pasting the same mission or objective over and over. I don't like the RTS genre but Age of Mythology couldn't be improved in any way or make the genre more appealing if it tried. There is a world creator which allows you to create your own levels and use all items and characters available. The skirmish mode is quick and easy to set up, and very fun to play regardless of your skill level and how you play the game. The campaign is by far the best part of this game though. Not only are the characters done well and the story being long, engaging and a varied adventure, but the level design, gameplay and of course, the excellent and fitting soundtrack come together to deliver one of the greatest gaming experiences- for 2002 anyway. I highly recommend this game even today, since graphics aren't that important in RTS, but Age of Mythology does have good lighting, but poor textures.… Expand

This was my favorite game when i was kid and its still one of best games what i have

I could try to fault this game, but I can't. It's really well balanced, and thus playing it is probably the most fun I've ever had from an RTS. And then there's the sound track, which is also perfect.

AMAZING! in every fooooken way.

An all around great game. Really fun to play, if you enjoy RTS games you'll enjoy Age of Mythology. The game has everything an RTS should have and much more.

Amazing game for its time. Age of Mythology is easily my favorite RTS game of all time! Its so much fun, many hours have gone by because of this game and I'm happy with that. It passed the test of time and is still just as fun as it was to play 10 years ago. If your a coumpter gamer, or if you have a some what new pc (you should be able to play this game on any recent pc, not just gaming pc's), you should give this game a try, you could probly get it for real low cheap right now.… Expand

Age of Mythology is a great strategy game, but I didn't like the idea too much. Now, you are in a mythological era, really? The fact that It isn't a masterpiece is that It doesn't beat AOE series. However, It is fun, and classic. This game is made by Microsoft and Ensemble, they really did a great job. (8.1)

As as big fan of mythology, I naturally loved this game. It follows the basic Age of Empires gameplay pattern but spices it up by not just having swordsmen and catapults but also minotaurs and sphinxes, as well as a compliment of "god powers" which can do everything from increasing food production for a time to causing massive earthquakes. The story was pretty good for an RTS game, and I enjoyed the epic arc spanning multiple civilizations and heroes. I've played through this game several times already, and having been a couple year since the last time, I think I'm due for another play-thru soon!… Expand

Simply one of the best RTS games and one of the best games of all time! It is fantastic! Great graphics, perfect balance and really, really fun gameplay! It has a fun and long singleplayer campain which is rare today and an awesome multiplayer with almost no lags or errors, also the game is 99.99% free of bugs!

Age Of mythology certainly is an amazing work of art by ensemble studios, it plays much like earlier "Age of" Games (which is good) yet add's so much more innovative things such as god powers. and a whole new game engine which really add?s to the game play, along with the whole experience. Age of mythology is (in my opinion) ensemble studios greatest work so far, and this is coming from 6+ years of playing Age of Empires games. As you can probably tell I highly recommend AOM to any Real Time Strategy fan, along with the average gamer. AOM has 3 civilizations (Greek, Egyptian and Norse) all three totally unique from the other, to add upon that, each civilization has three god?s to pick from at the beginning of each game. Each god will grant you special god powers along with technologies and mythic units. The downside is, having all of these options leads to a certain god to be overpowered and will dominate the other gods. Ensemble studios has now pretty much have each god to be equal to each other, yet it was a very bumpy start for AOM. The online match making service ESO (ensemble studios online) is very new, and has a quite abit of issues with it, yet again ensemble studios is doing a great job to improving the online service. And is getting better with every patch. … Expand

A really good game. The graphics is great, and the god section works very well, but it seem like you have played this game before.

1. Usually ran out of food before I was able to make a farm. 2. God powers could end the game instantly in 1v1 3. Heroes were basically hyped units 4. Age of Kings looked more appealing 5. Myth units wacked 6. Campaign missions were converted old age of empire missions Rating: Played it for one week, gave up, went back to Warcraft III. I played Age of Kings for 6 months. This game needs work.

This is probably the best strategy game I've ever played. It's fast paced and exciting compared to other age games, and the campaign, although the story sucks, is a lot of fun. The real gold is the multiplayer mode, hundreds of hours of fun fighting other players.

This game has every possible thing you could want in an RTS. If you divide it into 3rds. Single player Campaign, Single Palyer Random maps and Multiplayer gameplay it is easily over 100 hours of gameplay. This game should cost $100.

It's my all time favourite. Thanks a friend of my I have been playing it now for 6 months!!!!!

The best strategy game ever created so far, a must own for every gamer. This game has just everything, a great storyline, a good graphical engine, grippling sound effects and voice acting and of course the uncomparable gameplay of the Age series. This piece of work is a great experience for everyone even if you don't like much strategy games like I do but this is worth the money. Multiplayer is also a great experience and it is just awesome how smooth the game runs. My final comment is that people who like or don't even think to like this type of game, GO GRAB THIS ONE! IT IS AWESOME!… Expand

It's my best game that i made in a few years.

I found this was a disapointing game. Microsoft should have done better. It was toooo much like Age Of Empires.

Graphics is really cool, gameplay is OK. what else to say? game is good, but there is nothing special except graphics take it out and it will be the same old Age of Empires. But Game still is good.

Minotaurs cooooooll [minotaurs are bull headed man] but battles are xtremely BORING VERY VERY BORING!!!! Though u'd still B addicted 2 it buy it 2 keep yourself occupied for a while.

Quite possibly the best and most addictive RTS to date, this game has me captured the instant I loaded it up for the first time. Major improvements from AoE and AoE 2: AOK. Simply beautiful.

An incredibly well constructed strategy game to put it simply. it does feel like you played something very similar too it before (Age of empires 2), but inventive aspects like the myth units and god powers keep it fresh and entertaining. One of the best RTS games out there still.

Could have been better not as good as i had hoped but, great game none the less. If your a gamer this is a must try game.

A superbly entertaining mix of a few spectrums of mythology into what makes a very entertaining RTS with brilliant gameplay, though a very slightly lacking plot.

An excellent RTS. With elements from Age of Empires with monsters and incredible God powers thrown into the mix, you're left with a deep, fun, and fulfilling experience.

This is probably the single best game i've ever played. It's got great replay value, good story, and fun online play.

Possibly the best RTS to date. AoE 2 and this are both excellent, but this one pulls ahead through excellent multilayer and an enthralling campaign. Titans is an excellent add- on to the game. I can still play this now and have more fun than Rome: Total War.

Aside from a few cosmetic details, the game plays nearly identicaly to the other games in the "Ages" series, which isn't too bad, for 1998.

You know I was thinking about strategy games and asked which is my favorite of all time, guess what it is, Age of Mythology! It is just a great game with lots of FUN to be had. The coolest part of this game is that I can install it on a laptop and it will work great. If you have never had the opportunity to play this game you truly are missing out on one of the masterpieces of all time (in my opinion).… Expand

This is a good solid strategy game, not as good as age of kings though. The one thing that ruined this game for me was the bastard priests who converted your units. It was rediculious, how the hell is a priest going to take over five mounted knights, i mean they really would just chop his **** head off. Worth playing. Watch out for the priests.

Its been nearly 9 years since its release but this game never gets old. Compared to its age, graphics are awesome. Balance between civilizations and units is great. I dont think i will get bored from this game ever.

Another Great game by Microsoft. Its a very good RTS, but i felt it wasn't as good as AOE2. I don't Review games by comparing them to other games though, I rate them by how i felt it was and how much I enjoyed playing it. AOM has a great Campaign in it with interesting, unique levels in it that had not be seen by this time it was released. I have some trouble working the Multiplayer Stuff with it ,but other wise its a fantastic game. I would recommend getting it (but get AOE2 First : P )… Expand

Una gran re-estructuración de AoE II. Este título es algo que todos los fans de Warcraft esperábamos cuando jugamos The Age of Kings, y verdaderamente no nos decepciono.

The greatest RTS game i have ever played. A great campaign that has incredible replay value, a great multiplayer mode that is fun even with CPU's, and perfect gameplay with little to no flaws. Pick this game up for probably under 15 dollars (Released in 2002) and you will love it.

I'm not a big fan of Age of series. In fact, i played only couple of them and liked them, but there wasn't something that made me keep coming back. But Age of Mythology took my attention and I love this game even today and can replay whole campaign right after Nox. Game got my attention not by it's realism or story that based on real events, hell no, this game is pure magic that kinda based on actual story, but with Cyclopses, Colossuses (is that right?) and freaking Gods. All right, first things first, story is really good, it develops slow, but when you will reach Egypt levels plot will surprise you with some cool bad-ass moments and twists. Gameplay is your basic Age of mechanic, but here you also have power of Gods, you can unlock 4 unique abilities and by gaining, you know, God's love, you can create such creatures as Giants, Trolls, Cyclopses and other cool monsters. There's 4 different cultures and each of them are actually different and unique, trust me, because of that replay value is very high. My only complain is that story is REALLY slow and you will be bored of it by the chapter 20. There are bad-ass moments, but also tons of useless and forgettable ones. Other than that, game is just about perfect.… Expand
