• addictively great but still has bugs

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This is a really great game. The mythology aspects could have been done in a frivolous way but instead they really add an entire new dimension to the game play. The campaign also has a neat range of challenges. The update fixed most of the bugs but I'm seeing one remaining bug that is really causing me difficulties. The Ai doesn't always respect the walls. Sometimes units walk right through the wall. Usually just a unit or two but in this last game it acted as if the wall just wasn't there. This really messes up the game play. :( If they could just fix this bug it would be a perfect game.

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Yes, AoM was crash prone on my dual G5 2.0/9600, but this update has fixed the problem. A great game, and I hope the expansion pack gets ported to the Mac.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I'm going through the campaign right now and am really impressed by the variety of the challenges. The graphics are pretty and the gameplay has been refined over the earlier ones in the series. My only complaint are occasional bugs that result in heroes being stuck and unable to move. Since they're so important, this can wreck a session. Othat than that, totally worth getting. No crashing bugs. Playing on a Ti-Powerbook under 10.2.8. Cheers!

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I've been lucky I guess. I have a Quicksilver Dual Gig running Panther and have not experienced the dual processor crashes others have reported. I've played almost all the way through the single player campaign, and haven't had one crash. Overall, I'm enjoying this game very much. I was/am a big fan of the Warcraft series, and find this to be a similar, but nice change of pace.

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />enchanting graphics and improved AI, gameplay and interface. Most of the annoying stuff is gone and full on improvements in just about every aspect of this title brought to vibrant reality. I've not experienced one single crash under Panther or 10.2.8 (at work) on any hardware configuration which isn't something I could say about Age Of Empires 2 when it was delivered at v1.0. I have no idea why this title is misbehaving for those other folks but I would try easing the graphic settings and see if there's a relation to the crash. Just a thought. I'm so happy with my early Christmas present this year! :)

• Crash and Burn...

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Installed on Thursday night. I'm averaging 1 crash per game, which makes it very frustrating. I have a G4 dual 500MHz, 1.3 GB RAM, Panther 10.3.1 and the wireless mouse. I have Age II and UT 2003 also from Macsoft with no problems at all -- there's got to be a patch coming soon, as this is unacceptable. I'm also a little disappointed that Macsoft doesn't even have a support page up on the MacSoft website for Age of Mythology - the FAQ is also out of date on many of the topics by 1-2 years. However, they were quick to offer patches for Age II, so hopefully they will do the same for Age of Mythology. In the mean time, I would recommend saving often.

• I hate having to write titles in.

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I've played for a few hours and have not experienced any of the said problems. The game's loads of fun, and I'm glad to see MacSoft ported it. My only request would be to have a feature in the game that automatically disabled the MacOS X screen saver hot corners; when wanting to move the camera southeast, my screen saver comes on!
