Age of Mythology transports players to a time when heroes battled with monsters of legend and gods intervened in the affairs of mortal men. Players create armies, develop their civilizations through the ages and manage economics through resource gathering and trade. The mythological excitement begins when players call upon the gods to act on their behalf, or reinforce their armies with more than 25 mythological creatures. Ensemble Studios’ new 3-D engine adds a deep richness of graphical detail to create an innovative new title based on the ancient history of the Greek, Norse and Egyptian mythologies.

Features

Graphics worthy of the gods-Age of Mythology features beautiful environments, buildings, units and special effects rendered in full 3-D using Ensemble’s revolutionary game engine. Hundreds of unit animations bring the game world to life, as players see units fighting, using a variety of attack and defense maneuvers. In addition to beautiful cascading waves and lifelike terrain, the special effects in Age of Mythology include water spouts, infernos, lava, tornadoes, earthquakes and lightening with astonishing levels of detail.

A game for everyone-Age of Mythology offers diverse game modes and a variety of settings for novice and experienced real-time strategy fans alike. In-game cinematic scenes create a seamless, story-based and character-driven campaign. In addition, Age of Mythology is easy to learn and use with an intuitive, streamlined interface.

Replayability-The game offers more than 15 map types, 13 game variants and five starting conditions in its multiplayer lineup. Nine highly differentiated civilizations and the inclusion of a random map generator keep gamers coming back to play.

To Hades and back-Players can now petition the gods for favors in the game. Persuade Ra to strike an enemy’s city center with a meteor; enlist Thor to trap opponents in a snow squall; or beg Poseidon to swamp an attacking fleet. Players reinforce their armies with Minotaurs, griffons, giants, Cyclops and many other mythological creatures. In addition, players can seek out hidden treasures like the Golden Fleece and Hades’ Helm of Invisibility while traveling through underworld domains, rough seas or a vast desert.

Divine gameplay true to the Ages-Age of Mythology preserves many familiar elements from the Age of Empires games-including wonders, technology trees, ages and civilization bonuses-while enabling skill-based combat decisions. Smarter units allow players to make better use of inherent strengths and terrain advantages.

Reviewed by: Richard Armstrong from Rothbury, England Justa great game. The only other game that this can draw comparison to is Age of Empire. I can say that it surpasses Age of Empire, in every single way apart from online multiplayer (Still can beat that feeling when you crush a weedy army with a horde of overly powerful paladins-ah. Carrying on the new graphics engine is simply beautiful, just watching the animations is enjoyable enough. Bu the thing that seperates this from Age of Empire is the storyline and the graphics engine producing nice cut scenes after every completed mission. The way the game manages to slowy intwine the three major cultures is great (Norse, Eygptian and Greek by the way). This game is great and a good departure from the build a settlement, build an army and destroy the enermy based games that make Age of Empire, Rise of Nations etc great but lose their appeal, but Age of Mythology still ahs that is that’s the sole purpose you were considering to buy this game. I recommend this to all gamers but say this is a nessicity (can’t spell sorry) to all stragey fans. Enjoy.
