(Macsoft) Age of Mythology

This game sucked! Get AoE3 instead.

Written by JS from League City

Sep 14, 2009

I've been an Age of Empires fan from the beginning. I loved 2 until 3 came out, then 3 was just so much better. I love playing online, every game is different. I got Mythology cause I thought it would be a fun addition, it sucked. The gameplay is confusing. You can only order one unit at a time. You can't even really tell what the units are or do. Most pain in the rear combat I've ever played. I tried it a couple times and never touched it again.

Upset

I have enjoyed this game on PC's in the past, but I was upset at the fact that the game would not play on my new dual core.

Could fix some AI & gathering issues

Written by NW from Arlington

Aom is a fun game. I mean it. But it has some serious flaws, dude. Just one is that my first few games were a cinch- but as soon as I clicked the "Moderate" difficulty, it was like jumping from cool water into boiling hot! The peeps @ macsoft and aspyr need to realize this! Another annoying thing about this game is that when the map runs out of gold, you're screwed! You can't build another unit!
However, bad parts of the game aside, I really LOVED the campaign- heck, its the best of any game I've ever played. (the cutscenes are fun) Also, the way the norse, greek, and egyptian strategies balance out is interesting. Norse have a raiding, offensive strategy, while the egyptians have awesome walls and strong citadels, and the greeks are jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none.
All in all, if you're a good player(unlike me) and you like campaigns, this game is for you. But if this is your first strategy game, I wouldn't recommend it.

Great Game Wotn Work With MacBook Air

Written by MV from Hollywood

Sep 9, 2009

I love this game so it was a huge letdown when it would not work with the MacBook Air. AOM is a game that requires the CD be inserted to play. Using the CD sharing feature does not work. It really is a shame.

Lives up to standards

Written by RF

Aug 3, 2006

This game definitely lives up to the standards of Ensemble's award-winning real time strategy games. The only reason it is not a 5-rating for me is the fact that mac doesn't have the expansion yet, the Titans expansion and that the map editor is confusing until you have used it millions of times(like me).

Age of Mythology- PC version

Written by SS

Dec 15, 2006

Pros: variety of civilizations, god powers, and units; interesting mythological and historical tidbits
Cons: would like individual campaigns for civilizations, tend to label gods of death as 'evil'
Other: More gods would be nice, probably in the expansion. Wouldn't mind seeing some other civilizations (asian, north american, etc)
*Important*: This game is sold in two versions - win/pc or mac. Re complaint about core duo (unclear mac or pc)- I just installed the Windows version on my new Windows XP Core 2 duo machine and its fine.

Great Game

Written by DW from Cove

Mar 8, 2009

I really love this game! Great graphics and very fun! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that mine tends to kick me out every once in a while. It can really get on your nerves. The campaign is done very well! That seems to be where I get kicked out the most though :(. Even with that, I highly recommend this game!

Good Game

Written by SK from Woodbridge

Apr 6, 2009

This game is incredible! The graphics are stunning. The reference to real mythology is neat. The game definitely lives up to standards. I rate the game 4 1/2 stars. Not 5 because the game does take awhile to save, but still.

Great Diversity

Written by ZH

This is a great game in which you can choose how you want to play the game being you want to be a major military power or a peaceful nation. I love the way you can build mythical untis and that you choose minor gods and these choices affect the game in a great manor. Great game cant wait for the expasion.

Fonts and Tiger

Written by SL from Lausanne

Aug 11, 2005

I had the same problem as above with AOM on Tiger. It was showing little squares instead of characters, making the menus impossible to use. I disabled (and then deleted) a font called Giovanni and everything is fine now. Don't know what this font is about anyway.

I absolutely love the game. The big downside is that you can't play with PC users online. I bought the game especially for that and I revert to using my PC for gaming because of this. Yeah, I bought the game twice (once on pc, once on mac), just to have a valid license to play on my mac.. but with the mac I can only play on gameranger which has very few players, while all my friends and most people actually are on ESO.

Make the Gods Happy...

...receive the ability to shower meteors on your doomed enemies.

Based upon a typical turn based strategy games, Age of Mythology brings the civilizations of lore come to life.

LAN play is fantastic and campaign play has a rich story.

Good, But...

Written by TL from Greeley

Nov 28, 2006

I love the mythology aspect of the game. The only thing I wish it had though was the choice of nation at the beginning of the Campaign 1-player mode. I like Norse, but it forces you to be Greek :( Other than that, it is a very addicting game. You can play it for hours without realising it!!
