   This is by far my favorite game of all time. I spent my entire childhood playing this game. Like any other "Age of" game by ensemble studiosThis is by far my favorite game of all time. I spent my entire childhood playing this game. Like any other "Age of" game by ensemble studios and microsoft studios, there is leveling up. However, in Age of Mythology, you get god powers from leveling up throughout the ages. there are four ages to level up to, (five if you have the titans expansion) all of which you choose which Minor God you wish to worship. Worshiping and minor god provides you with new Myth Units, which you can train from your Temple, and god powers. (In the titans expansion at the 5th age you get a titan gate, which lets you build a structure that releases a titan which is basically one big super-unit, but isnt too over-powering.) Like I said above, I spent literally my whole childhood playing this game, singleplayer against bots, the campaign, both amazing experiences, and before Microsoft shut down the servers for AoM, the online community was great. During the campaign you follow an Atlantean Hero, Arkantos, who at first defends Atlantis from a bandit attack, it doesnt seem like much, but then the bandits steal the trident from the statue of Poseidon. Arkantos takes a few soldiers with him and chases after the bandits and their known leader, Kamos. You find Kamos and fight him, and defeat him, only for him to get away, but even though he gets away you take the trident back. The rest of the campaign goes into detail about Greek, Egyptian, and Norse mythology, and follows Arkantos as he sets out on a quest to ensure that the titan Kronos does not escape from his prison in Tartarus, by keeping all the Tartarian gates closed despite the fruitless effort of Kronos' followers. This game has quite a few plot twists, (which are for the better) and it has a very compelling story. I absolutely love this game, and I think many people who like RTS's would enjoy it as well.… Expand

   Amazing game, one of the best RTS games. Mythological elements made the sorry fun and gave a great twist to the gameplay

   Very good game, fun and complex, it includes fresh concepts to previous chain economic strategy games.

   Let me start off my saying that I am a huge fan of AOM, it is one of my favorite games of all time.

   This reboot, however, is simply pitiful.
   
   Lets start off on price point. Paying $30 for a game that is 12 years old is pretty steep, but they claim to have done some work to it so I decided what the heck, I'll get it.
   
   Bad choice. Unfortunately several important units are now broken since clearly no one bothered to test the game after they made their changes. Some missions on the campaign simply cannot be beaten without using cheats now because of broken units.
   
   As for the changes themselves, the water does look pretty. But I probably wouldn't have even noticed changed it i hadn't already known. There is absolutely NO NEW CONTENT added, it is just a rehash. I would hope they would at least do something to the horrible path finding and unit commands but apparently they could not be bothered to do that much work.
   
   BIG DISAPPOINTMENT
   10/10 for the original game
   1/10 for getting people to pay twice for the exact same thing… Expand
