Age of Mythology [Posted on 2007-05-06]
We have two kids (age 8 and 10) who really like this game. They have other friends their ages that own it and like it also. Despite it's teen rating, we have felt the game was fine for our kids to play, and it familiarizes them with aspects of mythological beings. While there is warring that goes on, it does not involve guns and thus doesn't seem quite as violent as many of the other teen rated games.

Very good simulation, very fun [Posted on 2007-05-14]
A good simulation in the typical build and achieve goals mode. Some fun mythological beasts, soldiers, etc., Gods to pray to. Gives a bit of a history lesson as well.

BEST **** THING THAT HIT THE RACKS!!! [Posted on 2007-05-27]
Picky people, anyone who rates this lower than 5. This game is AWESOME! Anyone who says, "It gets old," would have to be told a lot that they get tired of things easily.
Anyone who says, "The graphics are cruddy," has an old computer. (no offense or anything :] )

I recommend this game for...ah, let's see...EVERYBODY WHO LOVES FUN!!!

Excellent game [Posted on 2007-09-26]
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.

The good and the bad [Posted on 2008-06-21]
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.
