I bought this game on the recommendation of a friend and I am soooo glad I did. It was addictive. And not a cake walk to complete. (which I like)

Amazingly Addictive

As my title says this game is ridiculously fun! As a long time Age of Empires fan I was excited to see that this game was basically Age of Empires with some new tricks up it's sleeves and some interesting change sin game play. The graphics are surprisingly good. Some people have said that the campaign is too short but playing it through on hard it's by no means a short game, as far as I can remember the AOM campaign is longer than those from any of the AOE 3 and expansions packs. If you are a fan of Age of Empires this is definitely a game worth buying!

Age of Mythology - Fun at many levels

My son and I have played all of the iterations of Age of Empire. Age of Mythology uses a very similar game play experience as AOE 3. I have to admit, though, using the cheats makes this a real blast. Without the cheats, the computer just gets too many god powers going to let your team get strong enough to compete well (but that's the challenge, right?) I use the game on an older Windows XP with no trouble. The graphics and sound are excellent. The game features some really cool "X" factors that take this to a whole new level above the AOE games.

The good and the bad

This is a must have for gamers that love RTS (real time strategy)

The Good:
Long, interesting, and challenging campaign
Good Graphics (not great graphics)
Lots of tie-ins to real mythology in 3 major regions
Good powers and mythological creatures add an interesting twist to the Age of Empires World
Many revolutionary ideas about strategy games are introduced in this game

The Bad:
AI (outside of campaign) is a mindless death machine that just lumbers around the map
limited "random map" choices
The "Titans" expansion pack is not available on mac

Over all it is a fun game that anybody that loves strategy or mythology will enjoy. Although it has a few problems, the good out ways the bad. I have had countless fun games with friends fighting the computers on the hardest setting. Even though the AI is pretty stupid, they are still very deadly.

This game is well worth the money.

Excellent game

We bought this game for my son's birthday. It was not expensive and sort of a whim purchase. The game out of the box requires Rosetta (it's not a Universal binary), but if you apply the free patch from their website, it will upgrade the game to a Universal binary. This makes the game much more stable and enjoyable to play.

We had purchased Civ IV: Warlords and this game; my son has hardly even touched Civ IV since we bought this.

Fun for LAN parties and new age family game nights.

We play this over the home network, the kids on their PC's against me on my evil monarch machine (as they dubbed it).
The game is not about blood and gore but about strategy and tactics and cooperation. My 7 and 10 year old now both beat me (alright alright, I am somewhat dim) and everytime we play the game gets us all excited. We build big armies, strike alliances or fight foes together.
If you have not tried this game and used to love Risk as a game then this is amazing stuff. The graphics are also exceptional.
Check the game ratings out with a search engine. This is one of the best in its category. Also note that we bought it for less that ten bucks.

You will need a disk per machine to play multiplayer (unless you're inot downloading cheats and hacks) and certainly to play online: 1 disk per player.

a good game

A good simulation in the typical build and achieve goals mode. Some fun mythological beasts, soldiers, etc., Gods to pray to. Gives a bit of a history lesson as well.

We have two kids (age 8 and 10) who really like this game. They have other friends their ages that own it and like it also. Despite it's teen rating, we have felt the game was fine for our kids to play, and it familiarizes them with aspects of mythological beings. While there is warring that goes on, it does not involve guns and thus doesn't seem quite as violent as many of the other teen rated games.
