Best game. Ever.
Platform For Display: PC
Edition: Gold
I regularly play this one on the network with my 11 years old son. This has been going on for quite some time and I don't see that stopping any time soon. This is the last in the series of the "Age of empires", the Microsoft real time strategy game series which also spawned "Age or kings" and "Age of conquerors". This "Age of Mythology" (AoM) was the first of them to fully utilize the modern 3D graphics. For those who are not sure, real-time strategy is a class of games where the players start building an economy on some terrain by gathering resources and assigning them to constructions or units. Each player starts with a town center and a few villagers who can gather food, wood or gold and build different structures, each with its characteristics: you need houses to expand your population, you can create soldiers in the barracks, you need food to create new villagers at the town center, your forge can improve weapons and armor in exchange for some gold etc. The beginning of the game is usually pure economic growth and environment discovery, and then you realize you are not alone on the map. Depending on how the opponents behave (whether controlled by the computer or another player) they will be more or less aggressive - some build strong defenses, others will raid your towns at the first opportunity. This means there is not one good way to play; the good players do develop a personal style but also learn to adapt to changing situations. Unlike the seminal early 90s "Civilization" by Sid Meyer, real-time strategy games are not turn-based but all actions develop concurrently based on the orders each players have given to their units (military or not) and how the simulation unfolds. Timing is of the essence, and the game ends typically when one player has eliminated his opponents or constructed and protected a marvel for 10 minutes - a long time in these fast-paced games. AoM supports many fun variants. Age of Mythology did not only add a dimension to the graphics of its predecessors, but to the game-play as well: not only do the various civilizations have different units and characteristics, but the technological leaps known as "age changes" borrowed form earlier games give the player a chance to worship an additional god who in return gives the player a divine power, the opportunity to develop different technologies and the possibility to create new mythical units at the temple. The original game featured three civilizations: Egyptians, Greeks and Vikings, each with an assortment of gods and monsters. Extremely fun and educative. Then came the "Titans expansion" (included in this edition) which did improve the game-play and added the possibility to "free" a 30m tall Titan that can the be directed to go wreck havoc in the opponents' fortresses. This much was very funny. The expansion also came with a new civilization, and here I am a little less thrilled: the Atlanteans are a different version of the Greeks, different enough to really change the game, yet I would have much preferred the Mayas or the Indians for they both featured very rich folklore and mythologies. I could have seen praying to Gilgamesh, Vishnu, Kali, Quetzalcoatl or the Pachamama. Not so - I guess Microsoft didn't want to hurt the sensitivities of the cultures who still believe in these mythologies and I can respect that. Learning this game is made easy by the expansive tutorial. It is not necessary to go through the whole of it although it can be fun if you are playing on your own. You can also set the difficulty of the game and learn in the random map - the real thing: one of maybe 30 types, mountainous or covered with forests, sand deserts or islands, some with a specific goal (conquer the big island, capture and hold the center monument, start without a town center...). People will typically first enjoy the building and not like too much when enemy soldiers show up, so I would advise avoiding this class of games for kids younger than about 10. This is better for teens and above, although compared to what kids watch on TV these days this is very tame. This game might be construed as promoting aggression and war, but it is really more about learning the rules of a game and finding a solution to winning - it does not have to be through complete annihilation of the others as with Command and Conquer Generals (a good game too). AoM also feeds the need for culture of my 11 years old son - I had to find Edith Hamilton's "The Mythology" to quench his thirst for the actual stories. Ages of Mythology is all in all probably the best game ever, especially when playing it with friends over the network. Fun : ***** Educational: ***** Lifespan of the game: ***** (hundreds of hours and counting, over many years) This edition contains both the original game and the "Titans" expansion. It also comes with all supported languages - you just have to pick the one you want at install time. This is great as my kids are bilingual French-Spanish and their English is still quite limited; they still could lend the game to English- and German-speaking friends of theirs.

Works on Windows 8 and 8.1!
Platform For Display: PC
Edition: Gold
Absolutely FANTASTIC game. I had these a few years back with a really bad computer, but they broke. SOOO I had to get a new one. I learned it doesn't work on my new computer, which runs on Windows 8.1. After looking around a bit, I found this edition. It claimed to work on Windows 8 and 8.1. What do I have to lose? So, bought it and installed it. AoM installed perfectly and worked right off the bat. Titans however, installed and had some issues. Kept saying "Insert Disc". Disappointment. So, I uninstalled it, then reinstalled it. Same thing. I did it again, and POOF. It worked perfectly. If you are having issues playing either of these, uninstall and reinstall. Keep trying this, and eventually it will work. About the game: If you are a big time fan of RTS (real time strategy) games, or a beginner, this game is great. It even rivals Starcraft, another amazing RTS game. AoM (just to be clear, this is Age of Mythology, hence "AoM") holds your hand a bit in the beginning, just to get you used to it. But, as the campaign progresses, the game does get pretty challenging. Every unit has its own strengths and weaknesses. For example, many cavalry units are built for fighting against archers. Hoplites (main Greek ground unit) are built to go against cavalry. There are many little specifics like this. The campaign is fairly strong, skirmish is great. HOWEVER, I have heard that online play is not supported by this version. I have never been much into online AoM, so I wouldn't know. Just keep it in mind, that this may not give you a whole lot of an "online experience". AoM is still a fantastic game though. GET IT. You will like it too.

With persistence, it works!
Platform For Display: PC
Edition: Gold
I was super disappointed because I couldn't even play the Titans expansion and was about to return it. It wouldn't open at all because it kept asking me to put in the CD, but it was already in there. Apparently, after some research, I found out it ONLY recognizes a CD drive as "Drive D", which is ridiculous because most people have multiple drives, so the disk drive is usually E or something else. This is even more stupid because I used Drive E to install it, but once you try to open the program, there's just error messages asking to put in the disk (even though it's there spinning in the drive). But, with persistence, the online "manual patches" will work. What you do is you install AOM first, then download/install the patch version for AOM Patch 1.10, which you can get online, like from CNET. Next install Titans, and download/install the Titans patch 1.03. Then you go to the file where your AOM folder is installed (like C;/Windows programs (86)/Microsoft Games/AOM, and open the folder and click on the Titans icon (the face) from there. DON'T use your desktop shortcut the first time. Then do the same for AOM by clicking that icon in the programs folder, drive C (but do Titans first). After that, everything will work!! :-) SO, overall, AOM is good, and Titans is great. But AOM is short on campaigns. One thing that sucks about the AOM is that right when you are in the middle of winning a huge battle, it tells you, "You are Victorious!" and then freezes the game permanently. WTF?! You can't even use or enjoy your "God powers" because it freezes you out of the game at the best possible moment, or right before you are about to unleash your "powers". This can be really annoying because you just spent two hours building up to that moment. Ugh. I don't recommend "supremacy mode" for this reason. Also, the graphics are just ok, they are a bit dated, but it's not too bad really because of the overall charm of the design of the divine characters, scenes, and units/buildings, etc. Make sure you update the game options to your correct screen resolution for optimum results. This software is, in fact, quite old, but it's pretty good-looking all things considered. Overall, it's too bad that Microsoft gave up on these games because they were so cool and had a lot of potential for development and still have a lot of fans many years later. If you are curious, I have a 2013 Lenovo Ideapad gaming laptop with Windows 8, so with the above fix, you CAN make it run on a similar or newer PC system. I have no idea if it works on Mac. I would also not recommend buyng AOM alone without the Titans expansion because Titans, for me, is way more fun and the better of the two.
