Age of Mythology ~ Not as good as Age of Empires

by drdevience Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Nov 21 '03
Pros: Anything to do with mythology is always cool.
Cons: Feels a little outdated
I am completely enthralled with A ge of Empires 2: Age of Kings and it's expansion, A ge of Conquerors. I think that soured Age of Mythology for me just a bit. Oh don't get me ...

Ensemble Studios Brings Us To Another Age

by gorocco Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Dec 13 '02
Pros: Easy to use interface, Varying twists to the real time strategy formula
Cons: Mediocre AI, average single player experience, too much base building
With all of the RTS games out there, the phrase "beating a dead horse" more than applies to this genre. We've seen everything from humans and orcs to Star Wars licenced games. Now, Ensemble Studios, the happy folk who brought us Age of Empires (AOE) I...

Immerse yourself in the ancient Age of Mythology.

by thepremier , May 12 '04
Pros: Less resource micromanagement. Pretty water. Fierce God Powers.
Cons: Only three civilizations because it's a resource hog.
The release of Age of Mythology (AoM) was continually delayed by Microsoft and/or Ensemble Studios to make some more refinements to the game. The wait was for the most part worth it, as we are presented with a real time strategy (RTS) game that ...

"Stop With The Superstitious Nonsense. Don't Worry, It's Just a Thundersto-" Former Enemy Dwarf

by wandering_mage , Nov 27 '02
Pros: It's all about the myth.
Cons: Graphics.
THE BASIC BEEF
It’s finally here! After first hearing of Ensemble Studios’ latest project, I was no less than thrilled. The outcome? The finest, and hopefully not last installment in their RTS library. After Age of Empires and Age of Empires...

Focusing on a gripe with deathmatch in single player, random map

by inscrutable_po , Dec 13 '03
Pros: Pretty, fun, interesting god powers, rotateable camera, zoom feature, lots of things to research
Cons: Screwy difficulty settings, Odd scale on some things. Can't play defensively
Since a lot of other people have already commented on the graphics and mythological aspects of this game, I'm going to start right in with my gripe about single player game play. Although I'll mostly be complaining, I still like the game. I wouldn't ...

Age of Mythology: A Divine Gaming Experience

by GravityGirl Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Nov 14 '02
Pros: Myth units, spells, selection of deities
Cons: Minor nitpicky details
I have been a big fan of Ensemble Studios since the release of Age of Empires 2 (AoE2). When I found out that they were producing an "Age" game based on the mythology of various civilizations, I knew that this was a game I had to own. I don't know how...

Hurl Lightning Bolts, Meteors, and turn your enemy into Swine!

by rorsteven , Jan 29 '03
Pros: Gorgeous Graphics, Real strategy required, interesting concepts
Cons: Must have the right video card(s), Learning curve ahead
Age of Mythology is a new incantation of the Age of series by Ensemble Studios. Those familiar with Age of Empires, Age of Kings and their sequels will immediately be familiar with the lay of this game.

If you have played...

where did they put the audio and graphics again?

by mister_knowall , Jul 11 '04
Pros: Idea, spells, gods, creatures, mythology
Cons: Graphics, audio, many little details
There are several games in the world that became a classic. There are several games that from their name alone, or the name of the company became a world wide success. When I say that I refer to the ten greatest.. Civilization for one, Age of Empires ...

Flashy new graphics, but it's still Age of Empires

by mjkittredge , Nov 10 '05
Pros: Great graphics. Gods, myth units and spells. Easy to play if you know RTS
Cons: Formulaic and monotonous for people who play lots of games in this genre.
I got this game after seeing ridiculously high reviews for it on multiple sites. While major review sites opinions are valuable because they see so many different games they do know what they are talking about and how games measure up, the problem is ...

Age of Empires Gets an Update

by franinpa , Nov 13 '02
Pros: Smoother than AOE, Graphix are awesome, Myth units are cool
Cons: Only 3 civs, some AOE problems still exist, thin manual.
I picked up AOM a couple days after it came out and I've been playing it ever since. It is made by Ensemble Studios (the same people who made Age of Empires 1 & 2). They did a great job with this. The visual graphics are so detailed that you will really...

by wasntme87 , Jan 20 '03
Pros: Graphics, sound, detail, internet gameplay, single player, and myth units.
Cons: time consuming (takes a long time to build a large village)
Choice:

In AOM you have a large range of choise of what civilization you use, what gods you choose to worship, and you have five different ages of technology to work through. You will always have something new to build and something new to...

Mythologically Captivating

by awbattles , Jan 23 '03
Pros: Great real-time action and graphics. Interesting storyline.
Cons: Poor movie graphics. Difficult to use Map Editor
I have always enjoyed Ensemble Studios games, but this is it's best yet. People who have played Age of Empires 2 will quickly catch on to the similar gameplay and major concepts. Those who have never played any of the previous "Age" games will not have...

Is the Collectors Edition of AOM Worth your Money?

by dmuse , Nov 03 '02
Pros: Poster of Isis! Tech trees handy.
Cons: Minotaur - UGLY! Waaaaaaaaaaaay to expensive for this edition!!!!
This review is on the COLLECTORS EDITION OF AGE OF MYTHOLOGY, not the regular version of the game. It is the same game, just one has extra goodies in a big box!

First of all, this was a birthday gift from my husband, so I had no choice in the...
