Age of Mythology Deluxe - 3 stars (Fell short of an "Age" game

Age of Mythology review:3 stars (Fell short of an "Age" game.) - I love PC strategy games. I have to say that "Age of Mythology" was a let-down from the progression of the "Age of Empires" titles. I think "Age of Mythology" was probably being used by Ensemble Studios as stop-gap money earner, and also a building block for the next game in their AOE series.

The Good: In Age of Mythology, Ensemble made the jump to a 3-D graphics engine, which is now expected from all RTS games by the gaming community. It also has that same "feel" of an "Age" game, and the same style and ease of use through the User-Interface. The cultural specialization of the games civilizations is also very well done.

The Bad: One word - "scale". While the rest of the RTS genre was going "Epic" - massive battles, huge fortifications, very large maps, complicated economies, yada, yada... Ensemble went small scale with "Age of Mythology". Don't expect to see more than around 120 units in any single army in this game. Also... the whole "Mytholgy" aspect may be a bit of a turn-off to those who are accustomed to the more "historical/real-world" background of the "Empires" series.

The ugly: Graphics - Even when "Age of Mythology" was released, the detail was lack-luster, and obtuse, even with all the graphic bells 'n' whistles turned on. Note to Ensemble - if your going to go small scale when building a game, you need to make the graphics spectacular.

My advice - if you are a big fan of the "Age of Empires" series, skip "Age of Mytholgy" altogether... hold out for "AOE III".
3 stars (Expansion is very disapointing) - Well the first one was very nice, making difrent types of units to counter or lead atackes waching the great graphics or using gods powers to shmash your enemiews to bits or to restor or units or even your economy, but the canpaingne way way way to short. unlike the other age of ****** games that ive played over the year this campaigne focuses on the same story over and over again i mean come on (at first, you must please posident and kill troy) ok ive done that movign on (now revive the egyptian god ) ok finished (rebuild thors hammer to revive his strength ) im not sure about you but i see a patern there, REVIVE THE GODS i mean ya its cool but over and over and over again??? it gets alitle boring! just a bit, also what i noticed is that you make them to easy even in titan mode i made when i had to renunit the pieces of osiris or re-awake the gaurdian i didnt even need osiris or the gaurdian to finish the army that came after sure lets give them cheap units that can kill anything that freaking has less then 14000 hp in one hit! Or when i had to survive norse atack for 15 minuts lol that was the funiest one ever i just went and destroyed there citeis from the start and then i see a army actualy bigger than mine so i think finaly i get to use startagy no just watch units fight each other but tell them what to atucally do and kill him eventho i have a smaller army but no! you just have to let me win after i break a stone wall down? i mean come on were not new to these games we have all played at least of age of **** game before in our lives! in the other age of ******* games we had to actualy destroy the army at the end we had to use our brains to think how we can use our smaller armies aginst that huge one in a small amout of time and you made sure we coudnt get a bigger army then there with population limits now that was fun. no moving on to the expasion...IM VEry DISAPOINTED! the atleantians are wwwwaaaaayyyyyy to over powered i mean come on so what the they have a jackass carring there food.gold/wood for them that blody basket sould get full some time soon all the units came become hereos and reusable god powers? sure that may sound good but its get boring smashing the poeple online that are true to the oldies and wana win the old FUN way but alway encounter noobs that never played this game before and somehow manage to beat them with atleantians i mean i can just send an army of 20-70 men into my enemy base and contuniu ordering my vilager knowing il win the fight but in the old game you had to comand you armies t use there advantages over other units not just go and start smashing a castle when the are 35 units hakking away at you! over all you guys reuind the game, maby im just to good at it and i need a chaleng that why i beat all you campaignes in titan mode in 5 hours time and the expansion in 2 hours time when on age of conqurers i keept tasting defate at i didnt sleep all night for i was thinking of a new way to put my ennemies in there place!

Remember the old ways poeple sometimes there funner4 stars (Welcome Addition) - The elements that the Titans expansion adds are incredible. The Atlantians are great to play and the fact that you can turn them all into heroes is very helpful.
Plus the the Titans are awesome!! The Titan's ability to destroy an entire civilization by itself is unbelieveable.
The only letdown for the game is that besides the addition of the Titan, there are no changes to the other races.
