With its streamlined interface and modern makeover, AoM is itself a mythical beast: a sequel that's simultaneously deeper and more accessible than its predecessor. [10 Jan 2003, p.76]
The game looks, plays, and feels splendid! This game will not leave the player's CD-Rom for a long time, since it has such an astounding replay value.

One of the greatest strategy games of all time. Carried by a long and incredibly engaging single player campaign. Incredible unit variety and impactful god powers make for a lot of fun. Soundtrack is among the best ever.

AoM takes what makes both the "Age of Empires" series and the "Warcraft" series great, and blends it all together into a tasty frappe, and the end result is simply divine.
It's just so frickin' wild and cool. You can get whole forests to come to life and attack your enemies, build huge monsters like the Hydra (yes, it grows more heads as it takes damage), and pound the enemy city into a crater with meteor storms.
Felt tired in its singleplayer campaign – though it was still far better than "WarCraft III."
While AoM sports a new graphics engine and three unique factions, on the whole it plays very much like its predecessors. Too much like its predecessors, if you were hoping for a truly different game experience.
My experience with Age of Mythology was one of apathy and boredom... Think of AoM as Led Zeppelin’s "Stairway to Heaven." Sure, it’s a great song, but do you really want to hear it over and over again?
One of the best strategy games ever. Game genre now sunk along with so many other games of the era, but fortunately there are people who make these games immortal. I played all the DLC, repurchased the remastered in 2014, and now... I'm waiting for the Retold remake. Let's hope it's not a pay-for-fun
God save us and forgive us

Let me start off my saying that I am a huge fan of AOM, it is one of my favorite games of all time.
This reboot, however, is simply pitiful.
Lets start off on price point. Paying $30 for a game that is 12 years old is pretty steep, but they claim to have done some work to it so I decided what the heck, I'll get it.
Bad choice. Unfortunately several important units are now broken since clearly no one bothered to test the game after they made their changes. Some missions on the campaign simply cannot be beaten without using cheats now because of broken units.
As for the changes themselves, the water does look pretty. But I probably wouldn't have even noticed changed it i hadn't already known. There is absolutely NO NEW CONTENT added, it is just a rehash. I would hope they would at least do something to the horrible path finding and unit commands but apparently they could not be bothered to do that much work.
BIG DISAPPOINTMENT
10/10 for the original game
1/10 for getting people to pay twice for the exact same thing

Summary Age of Mythology transports players to a time when heroes did battle with monsters of legend and the gods intervened in the affairs of mortal men. Players wage war using human armies and diplomacy, progress through development ages, enhance military and economic performance with improvements, and manage economics through resource gatheri...
