Readers Review by Paul
Pros:
*Great civs
*AMAZING online multiplayer
*More offensive than AOK (god powers, myth units, weaker walls
*It teaches you about mythology
*Lightning mode
*Great maps: Acropolis, Mediterranean, Islands, etc.
Cons:
*Bad plot of campaign
*Hard to tell certain units apart
*Deathmatches are really bad in this.
I love this game! It's truly amazing! Heroes and Myth Units make the games lot better. Of the four cultures, I prefer the Greeks esp. Zeus. For the others I recommend playing Ra, Thor or Kronos. For Deathmatch choose Loki.
Buy this game immediately it takes getting used to but is great once you get it. ENJOY!

What a fantastic experience and I'm still going! The best game I've got in my MAC collection. Fantastic! I've just been on for a whole weekend but with "well timed saved games" I can come back to it when ever I want. The game provides the most realistic, beautiful, and captivating world I've ever seen in a real-time strategy game.

Awesome, impressive graphics as soon as you open up the game. I have a fast G4 with lots of RAM so it should look good, don't know what it'd be like on a slower machine. Fast learning curve for AoE 2 players. Familiar but not too samey. You still feel it's a new game. It will take some getting used to your best troops being hit by thunderbolts or the enemy scouting you with a Pegasus or a sea monster wrecking your Trireme! It has more layers than AoE2 which remains a great game, but this is better.
Obviously its way too early to know if this game has the longevity of AoE2 but it looks promising.

Brilliant. It's Age of Empires 2 with fantasy and bells and whistles.
As an Age of Empires 2 player I felt immediately at home with the controls. The Gods powers do add a new dimension to it but the learning campaign and the Atlantis campaign take you through it so well that I didn't even have to open the manual during the first evening.
I hate to be predictable but I have to score it 10. Recommended.
