The creators of Age of Empires brought us Age of Mythology! Then after that, they made the expansion pack. Years later, Age of Mythology and the X-pack was put in one box and was called “Age of Mythology: Gold Edition”. And a while later, I got the game. Now, you should get the Gold Edition, it is worth the $30. But on with the review!
You start as 4 Civilizations (3 is added in the X-pack). 3 Major gods are in each civilization. Each god has different powers and abilities. And to advance in many ages, you must pick a minor god to advance to the next age.
Greeks:
Zeus
Hades
Poisidon
Egyptians:
Ra
Isis
Set
Norse:
Loki
Thor
Odin
Atlanteans:
Gala
Kronos
Oranos
Those are the major gods that you can pick. And that isn’t just that; you can get a ton of myth units: minotaurs, scyllas, scorpion-men, Anbites, and more. And did I not tell you that minotaurs and cyclops can throw men?
Several god powers are in your hands! From lighting, earthquakes, to tornadoes and meteors. They can be used once (Atlanteans can use some powers twice or more.) Tornadoes are my favorite because when they enter a city, the devastation is heart-breaking for the enemy and their allies.
100 scenarios, online play in Ensemble Studios Online, and a map editor cannot bore anybody who is willing to play hard. Although I won a victory online after I bought the game because I was used to playing that hard. I like playing Ra because the pharoh and his priests can empower buildings and if you are attacking, the chariot rush is pretty good, and if you like defending, you should make elephants because a small number of elephants can hold out a large number of humans. Teamwork is very important to win a game, and did I not tell you that when you have an island, to put towers and forts on every part on the island. I lost my titan gate because I didn’t save it. And what are titan gates? Titan gates and special and take a long time to build, and when it finishes, a powerful titan will be freed and they can turn the tide of battle! A single titan has 7000 hitpoints! But you can only create one! And really defend it because you could lose it to enemies. Always build heavy defence when building a gate, and when playing online, expect attacks.
If you are a RTS man who needs some chocolat for their ice cream, then AoM: Gold Edition is the chocolat of ice cream.

This game is great! The graphics are relistic while holding a mythic feel. The enviroments are beatiful, and it is a shame to chop down trees, kill animals, and build up the area. Battles are fairly easy and the AI doesn’t fight often… perfect to new RTS gamers. The campain is well done. The cheats are too powerful for anything but the campain, however. For example, WRATH OF THE GODS gives you powerful god power. God powers are powers you can use once (with a few exeptions)which perform a number of results. The four culters are Greek, Egyptian, Norse, and Atlantis (which is only in the Titans Exspansion Pack)Overall, this is a great game.

This item was made by micoshaft, and Ensemble studios (EOS). EOS was the online multiplayer engine that ran all the fun. Well they went out of business, so Ubisoft is now the ones that are selling the game.
When Ubisoft released the game, they shipped every single copy with the same CD KEy, thus making the online multiplayer useless.
I called Ubisoft, and they are out of product keys to re-issue, and Microshaft AKA little India, is not covering this game anymore because it is out of their 5 year window of support.
Ontop of all this I received the $9.99 jewel case edition that you are debating on buying this one or that one… they are one in the same.
IF, and only IF you get the actual product that is pictured above of the Original box will you receive the correct product to get online with, because it will be a unique CD Key… (not included in this product…grrrr)

This game is amazing. It normally wouldn’t have caught my eye, but my younger brother was addicted and wouldn’t stop pestering me until I gave it a try. As it turns out, I liked it so much I had to buy my own copy. The controls are very fairly easy to get a hang of, which lets you concentrate more on your stategy, attack and defense.
The campaign option lets you play through an interconnected series of at least 30 mini-missions(don’t know exactly off the top of my head)which leads you in turn through the Greek, Egyptian, Norse and Atlantean lands; each with unique Gods/Goddesses, heros, and mythological creatures. You also get a limited number of “God powers” (lightning, meteors, earthquakes,etc) granted to you, depending on which God you decide to focus on with each advancement.
The Titans expansion included with this game was a bit disapointing with that campaign being way too short (with only about 10 missions). I finished it in only 2 days.
*By the way- the previous reviewer said there was no online play for this game, which isn’t true. I have played online, even the back of the box states there is online play(which is free).
