..best RTS games to be released in years. Age of Mythology, as the name suggests is the next game in the "Age of" series. This time taking it into the Greek Mythology times. The result is just amazing. You get to use myth units which have special moves such as barging enemy troops away or picking them up and throwing them. There are three different sides in Age of Mythology all totally different from one another. The Greeks, Egyptions and Norse. They look different, gather resources in different ways and have different units. On top of that each side has three major gods which give you the choice betwen minor gods, god powers and myth units. You get the choice of which minor gods give you the choice of you want when you upgrade to the next age. Different minor gods give you the choice between different god powers, myth units and benefits to you. (Such as, one might benefit infantry units while another might benefit the strenth of your buildings). The graphics are great, while you can't zoom in to a side view, you can zoom in and out with the same point of view. The troops, buildings and maps are all heavily detailed and look wonderful, while the cutscenes look great too. The sound in the game is awesome! The music fits the game perfectly and the sound units make are great. The voice acting in cutscenes isn't the greatest, but it's not too bad. It's an amazing sight to see your hero Arkanto's hold up his spear and yell and see all the troops around him yell too just as you make them charge into battle. The single player campaign is a great length, and has a fantastic story. At the same time letting you play through each side. Then there is the skirmish mode and online play. All three are a lot of fun, and playing online is something everyone must try. I spent countless nights staying up playing till the sun came up simply because id keep saying to myself "just one more game". Age of Mythology is one of the best RTS games to be released and all RTS fans should have a copy. The single player is fantastic as is the multiplayer. The game is a lot of fun and very addictive. There isn't much else you can ask for in a game than whats been delivered here.
