Summary: Great expansion for a great game
Comment: This expansion improved even the original game even more. I loved being able to play the brand new campaign, though I wished it would have been a little longer. The campaign was more story-oriented, as it didn't just have you going to destroy a structure and then be done. This game also features a new civilization, the Atlanteans and the ultimate ability to be able to control the Titan of each civilization.

Summary: Very nice! Compared to Windows version!
Comment: I just bought this for my Mac and it is what I loved about the Windows version only better! The graphics are WAY ahead and everything is much more advanced. Nice job but I really wish you could build more than 130 units. Bummer.

Summary: Amazingly Addictive
Comment: As my title says this game is ridiculously fun! As a long time Age of Empires fan I was excited to see that this game was basically Age of Empires with some new tricks up it's sleeves and some interesting change sin game play. The graphics are surprisingly good. Some people have said that the campaign is too short but playing it through on hard it's by no means a short game, as far as I can remember the AOM campaign is longer than those from any of the AOE 3 and expansions packs. If you are a fan of Age of Empires this is definitely a game worth buying!

Summary: The good and the bad
Comment: This is a must have for gamers that love RTS (real time strategy)
The Good:
Long, interesting, and challenging campaign
Good Graphics (not great graphics)
Lots of tie-ins to real mythology in 3 major regions
Good powers and mythological creatures add an interesting twist to the Age of Empires World
Many revolutionary ideas about strategy games are introduced in this game
The Bad:
AI (outside of campaign) is a mindless death machine that just lumbers around the map
limited "random map" choices
The "Titans" expansion pack is not available on mac
Over all it is a fun game that anybody that loves strategy or mythology will enjoy. Although it has a few problems, the good out ways the bad. I have had countless fun games with friends fighting the computers on the hardest setting. Even though the AI is pretty stupid, they are still very deadly.
This game is well worth the money.

Summary: Excellent game
Comment: We bought this game for my son's birthday. It was not expensive and sort of a whim purchase. The game out of the box requires Rosetta (it's not a Universal binary), but if you apply the free patch from their website, it will upgrade the game to a Universal binary. This makes the game much more stable and enjoyable to play.
We had purchased Civ IV: Warlords and this game; my son has hardly even touched Civ IV since we bought this.

In Age of Mythology, you'll take charge in an era where military strength and the favor of the gods was all-important! Gorgeous in-game cinematics develop a deep and immersive tale of honor and revenge
