Kstar__2 Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 i don't like strategy games, but my friend is seriously hooked on AOM, so i choose that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breton Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Really hard to say, both games are great, but still they are quite different. I choose both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Talliusc Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 never played AOM but i LOVE wc3 so i voted for Wc3. man that game is fun. once you get to the higher levels its all strategy and micromanagement, its so intense that a moments lapse or a small error spells doom for the whole game. got what fun.

JandoFett1842 Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Age of Mythology Sound Score: 8/10 The sound matches the characters almost perfecly, You'd probably expect a Mintor to have deep snorty sounds (pig/boar like) and a Colosses to talk slower with a deeper voice. Some screw ups with sound were around Norse dwarfs and sometimes a Female Villager will have a Male Villager sounds. In game music is appropirate for the game, i mean you dont expect metal or techno to be play'n while you fightin with unites from mythology. Graphics Score: 7/10 From a 2d engine in AOE2 to a 3d engine in AOM is a big inmprovement. Some of the cutseens look like stuff from the PS1 but thats becuas there using the same models as the game does. The intro cutseen when you start up the game was done buifly i thought. Mostly the graphics are just a great improvement from 2d. Gameplay Score: 8/10 Well the gameplay is basicly like the old AOE exept with myth unites and god powers. The myth unites are exelent for disrupting platoons of enemy troops and god powers work great for helping your economy or wiping out that Hillfort in the strataigic position where you troops cant get to safly. I would have to say the Greeks are the best of the 3 civilazations. Zuses is probably the best god for them, if you get the right minor god combo. User-Friendlyness Score: 6/10 Like i said, this game plays like the old AOE games. If you arnt familar with AOE, you might have a hard time starting off, but once you get going, your good. As for computer handling, it doesnt take the latest computer to run the game, but if your computer isnt at least a PIII it will lag up when you use a god power like Firberwinter or have a large battle. Overall the game is one of the best RTS' ive played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'jais Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 I've only played WC3, and truth to be told, it didn't catch my fancy. While WC2 was revolutionary in it's time, the sequel is not, and the gameplay is not extraordinary, although good. It's a good game, no doubt, but I have higher hopes for AOM.

ckcsaber Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 My fav. strategy game is Alpha Centauri. But RTS-wise, I like AOM much more than War3. I just like the setting more, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Warrior Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 I love AOM because I love the type of gameplay in it. I was a huge fan of AOE 2 and the expansion "The Conquerors" WC3 is a good game but imo AOM is much better and suits my style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Warrior Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 Originally posted by ondrahosek Are you talking about the Conquerors? IT R0X0R3D FOR ITS TIME! I HAVE IT ! Yea. I love that game. I still have it too. So many memories from it. I was in so many different elite clans and we had so many clan wars. I played that every spare minute. Sadly I don't have as much time to play it now as I would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reborn Outcast Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 A question... I wanna get AOM a ton but the screenshot on the back of the box makes it seem like the graphics are crappy and boxy... is this true in the real game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Screenshots in many games look bad because still pictures don't do justice for some games. Age of Mythology has good graphics and the God powers look amazing. It is what you would expect from a new rts game. They are in no way "crappy and boxy". They are not the greatest graphics but you don't need the best graphics in a rts game and the graphics are fine anyways. It's hard to explain but take my word for it, AOM graphics are fine, nothing wrong with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reborn Outcast Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 The only reason I say crapp and boxy is because thats the way they look on all the screenshots on the back of the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
