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. In Age of Mythology, players wage war using human armies and diplomacy, progress through development ages, enhance military and economic performance with improvements, and manage economics through resource gathering and trade. Mythology enters the mix when players call upon the gods to act on their behalf or reinforce their armies with more than 20 mythological creatures. Less

"Battle for Middle-Earth II" A Great Addition To Lord Of The Rings Frachise.

byPandemonium Jun 11, 2008
58 Helpfuls 59 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Beautiful graphics, great sound, War of the Ring mode great addition, AI is much smarter.
Cons Single player campaign mode very bland.
Recommended it? Yes

For the fans of Middle-earth (I am one of them) here comes another game for us to enjoy. With the first installment covering all three movies what could this game be about? Would it be more of an expansion game rather than a stand a lone title? What would be enough different content in this game... Read full review »

The Best Movie Licenced Game of All Time

byjohnenfield Apr 11, 2008
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros THE RTS game for Lord of the Rings fans.
Cons Medieval Total War is better if you want to pull off complex battle strategy.
Recommended it? Yes

I am a big fan of the Lord of the Rings books and movies. While the movies leave out a lot that is in the books (they had to unless they wanted to make it a TV series instead of three movies), they capture the magic and themes well. In some ways, the Battle for Middle Earth games delve into the... Read full review »

Age of Mythology ~ Not as good as Age of Empires

Pros Anything to do with mythology is always cool.
Cons Feels a little outdated
Recommended it? Yes

I am completely enthralled with Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings and it's expansion, Age of Conquerors. I think that soured Age of Mythology for me just a bit. Oh don't get me wrong, this is a great game.... it just isn't quite as engaging as it's cousin, close, but not quite.

Ensemble Studios Brings Us To Another Age

bygorocco Dec 13, 2002
30 Helpfuls 31 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to use interface, Varying twists to the real time strategy formula
Cons Mediocre AI, average single player experience, too much base building
Recommended it? Yes

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 and II, come back with yet another RTS. Age of... Read full review »
