Review Excerpt
"In the game, you'll still find the sort of realistic armies of cavalry, spearmen, and archers you'd find in Age of Empires, but they'll be fighting alongside the likes of medusas, minotaurs, sphinxes, mummies, frost giants, trolls, and more. So don't expect Age of Mythology to help you ace any history tests. And yet, much like with the Age of Empires games, you still could easily end up learning a thing or two while playing Age of Mythology.
While the game may not be a simulation of any battles that ever actually took place, it offers great insight into three core historical civilizations and their beliefs, which collectively helped shape much of the world as we know it. More importantly, Age of Mythology executes its concept extremely well, in a manner that should please fans of Ensemble's previous real-time strategy games as well as many of those who might have found the history-themed Age of Empires games a bit dry."
This excellent and colorful real-time strategy game from Ensemble Studios has much of the strategic depth that you'd expect from an Age of Empires game, but it also features divine intervention. That's right, Age of Mythology lets you subscribe to the mythical pantheons of three of the greatest civilizations the world has ever seen: the Egyptians, the Norse, and the Greeks. Age of Mythology's fictitious units, which include ogres, giants, hydras, and other fantastic creatures, work as a great counterbalance against the game's wide array of foot soldiers, cavalry, and siege weapons, and are themselves kept in check by the game's powerful hero units. Like Ensemble's previous games, Age of Mythology offers players a great variety of different strategies and tactics, but presents them in a well-balanced game that can truly be played in numerous ways. Age of Mythology has an enjoyable single-player campaign, but it also has excellent multiplayer play.
