What's great about it: Fun game ... if I could play online
What's not so great: cd-key is not unique, resulting in no online play

"I purchased the game, installed it and was ready for some online play with a friend. Then, I got the cd-key cannot be validated message - again and again.
I researched the net and discovered Microsoft licensed AOM:T to Valusoft. Turns out Valusoft gives everyone the same cd-key, in effect, eliminating your ability to play the game online. I contacted Valusoft and they will not email me a unique cd-key. So beware of Valusoft and do not purchase this game for online play."

What's great about it: Really Entertaining
What's not so great: None

Great PC Game   08/03/2008
By Airsofter from California

What's great about it: everything
What's not so great: nothing really

"This game was released 6 years ago and it is still good. The graphics are not as great compared to modern games but the level of fun and entertainment is very high. I recommend this to anyone who is interested in the Greeks, Vikings, or Egyptians. This game actually got me into learning about ancient Greek culture."

Great Game by Ensemble   05/01/2008
By LunarSea

What's great about it: Wonderful replay value, Mythological units

"I recently picked up Age of Mythology after being it was recommended to me by a friend. I have been fan of Age of Empires for a while and Age of Mythology definitely continues the high quality of the series with even more features. The addition of mythological units adds a very different dimension to the game, although overall the game is slightly more limited than the standard Age of Empires series. The game still has a lot of replay value and is highly recommended!"

Great Game!   09/17/2007
By UNGCC

"Age of Mythology is a great Real-time Strategy Game! I like the Age of Empires series, but with the Age of Mythology game you can control mythological creatures, and certain powers from the Gods, which is more to my liking! The graphics are pretty good, and the sound flows with the game very well. You can play through the scenarios if you like, or you can hop right into multiplayer, either LAN or on their Server."

Good game   08/26/2007
By Patriot303 from Parker, Co

"I love the Age of Empires series and this is a must. I own AOE3 but my computer can't handle big battles or many of the scenarios so I uninstalled that untill I get a new computer and I installed this again. This game is fun and exciting. You control human units and mythlogical units too (they are awesome!). I will definently play this at least untill I get my new computer. If you have a new computer (a fast one) look for Age of Empires 3."
