Fun for a good amount of time [Posted on 2007-03-28]
this game is fun, and addictive! After a few weeks, though, you may tire of it a bit- start playing random maps then, and you'll get a few more weeks of fun. Then you'll want to take some time off from it, as you'll find that you get so good at defeating others you don't want to play anymore. Or, change the difficulty level.
Online game play doesn't work [Posted on 2007-05-26]
Beware! The CD key in the jewel case is common all through! You will not be able to play this game online...barring that, a wonderful game! Love it!

Fun for LAN parties and new age family game nights. [Posted on 2007-09-01]
We play this over the home network, the kids on their PC's against me on my evil monarch machine (as they dubbed it).
The game is not about blood and gore but about strategy and tactics and cooperation. My 7 and 10 year old now both beat me (alright alright, I am somewhat dim) and everytime we play the game gets us all excited. We build big armies, strike alliances or fight foes together.
If you have not tried this game and used to love Risk as a game then this is amazing stuff. The graphics are also exceptional.
Check the game ratings out with a search engine. This is one of the best in its category. Also note that we bought it for less that ten bucks.
You will need a disk per machine to play multiplayer (unless you're inot downloading cheats and hacks) and certainly to play online: 1 disk per player.
Age of Mythology - Fun at many levels [Posted on 2008-06-30]
My son and I have played all of the iterations of Age of Empire. Age of Mythology uses a very similar game play experience as AOE 3. I have to admit, though, using the cheats makes this a real blast. Without the cheats, the computer just gets too many god powers going to let your team get strong enough to compete well (but that's the challenge, right?) I use the game on an older Windows XP with no trouble. The graphics and sound are excellent. The game features some really cool "X" factors that take this to a whole new level above the AOE games.
