Microsoft Age of Mythology v.1.0

Strengths: This game offers much gameplay variety for multiplayer. Plus the ability to download off the internet additional single player and multiplayer campaigns makes the gameplay unending.

Weakness: Single player story is a little weak, but missions like the pig escorting are quite amusing.

This game will get you addicted from the start. My friends and I haven't even played as the Norse because it is such a challenge getting used to other civilization(Greek, Egyptian, Norse). We know we have just touched the surface of this game. Also, the game manufacturer has already shown that it is here to support the game by releasing multiple patch updates already. Also, the talk of an...

Microsoft Age of Mythology v.1.0

Strengths: Fun Campaign, satisfactory internet play, and an incredible expansion. This game is something you can play over an over.

Weakness: The campagn lacks in "fun", and a strong storyline. Internet Play can get boring, because everyone only plays 1v1.

A very fun game.The campagns are pretty fun, I personaly like making my own maps, or doing a 2v2 with computers. I also enjoy the cheats, for example, you can ake a gaint purple elephant pop out of your town center.

Microsoft Age of Mythology v.1.0

Strengths: Very strong AI - much better then both the first and second of the AOE series, this game is reccomended to all! Make sure you play the multiplayer which is the best part of the game.

Weakness: The campaign is a bit weak but do not focus only on that aspect of this incredible indepth game. It also needs an updated computer - older computers will cause this game to lag

This game is one of the best ever played - some may find it slower due to slower computers - if you only play the campaign you will get tired easily so make sure you play online! That is the best part of the game!

Microsoft Age of Mythology v.1.0

Strengths: Everything!!!

Weakness: None!!!

This is a work of art! Graphics and movements are amazing, so much better compared to AOM II, very smooth flowing. Campaigns are amazing, much better then AOM where you would have to walk your team for a half an hour before you finally got to the target. A lot more options, everything that always annoyed you in the AOM II is now fixed. Powers and mythical creatures give it a very exciting theme,...

Microsoft Age of Mythology v.1.0

Strengths: Depth of gameplay.

Weakness: Campaign could be better

One of the best RTS games out there. Way better than Warcraft III. There are so much stratgies involved in this game and this is what's making this game so much fun to play with.

Microsoft Age of Mythology v.1.0

Strengths: Beautiful 3D graphics. Well-written single-player campaign. DEEP unit development ... it'll take you long enough to master one race/god, let alone nine.

Weakness: Totally overshadowed by Warcraft III, which is a shame because AoM offers excellent strategy and civ-building gameplay. Good balance of economy and fighting, whereas WCIII is ALL fighting.

I really wish this game caught on as well as Age of Kings. At first glance, it plays so similarly to AoK that I'm sure most people are like, "I've seen this a million times before". But this game has HUGE depth to gameplay ... the nuances between races are subtle, and the gameplay is a lot different than AoK... much more about smaller armies, owning the map, and wildly different strats for Greeks...

Microsoft Age of Mythology v.1.0

Strengths: decent story, decent controls, easy to learn

Weakness: WAY too slow-paced, controls could use improvement, by the time i got done with each mission i'd already forgotten what had been happening in the storyline...

can you get hours upon hours of play out of the single-player missions? absolutely. would you rather just get the friggin mission over with to move on to the next one? absolutely. custom games aren't much better- you start from scratch and have to wait... and wait... and wait till you get strong enough to attack. then you have to wait... and wait... and wait for your guys to tear down those...
