This game is being published by all sorts of companies now and depending on who published the game you get is how you will be able to get online. The CD key that comes with the game does not work. If you google playing this game online it will tell you how to fix it. The game I recieved was published by "value soft" and on their webpage they list a address you have to mail your booklet too and then they mail you a working CD key. I can't even email for the CD KEY, very high tech huh? Now I have to wait to play the game, who knows how long.

This is my favorite game of all time. It consumes a massive amount of time, and keeps you interested the entire time.

I play it all the time with my wife, we both enjoy it.

And remember, when playing, press "ENTER" and type in "ISIS HEAR MY PLEA" ;)

It keeps me playing, both story modes are really cool. You are able to play as the Norse, Greek, Egyeptions, and the Titans. The only down fall is you can't make your own maps. And since it comes with Titans expantion pack it is a good deal.

I used to play Age of Mythology all the time. Then with the addition of the Titans expansion a great game became even better! Unfortunately I lost/inadvertently tossed out those game disks long ago. With an ever present desire to play them again i purchased this disk set from amazon. About $25 bucks after shipping for aom plus "Bonus Titans expansion!" was a small price to pay for the hours of fun I knew I would be enjoying later. Once the package arrived i excitedly installed, started the game, scrolled past the campaigns and single maps that i had played to completion many times before,all the way down to multiplayer mode and tried logging into Ensemble Studios Online(ESO).Happily leaning back,about to sink into the world of widgets and hoplites, a window popped up that read "YOUR CD KEY CANNOT CURRENTLY BE VALIDATED" I was crushed! after a little research i was very angry to find that microsoft had sold the rights to aom to other companies and that those companies (i.e. valusoft,...)had been stamping all age of mythology games and titans expansions with THE SAME CD KEY!that way only ONE person that bought these identical sets at a time gets to play online! Ridiculous! Online was the most fun part! now i dont know where along the process that was overlooked but WOW. So unless you absolutely never want to play online, or you want to wrestle with the company that sold you the game for a unique cd key, then >>>>>DO NOT BUY<<< this set

This game plays fairly well until........you try to use the internet for a multi player game. Then, they keep knocking you off to validate your cd-key. What a ruse. I own the game. I have the cd-key and it still won't let me play. I have heard that Micro$oft issued a number of the same cd-keys so they look like invalid or duplicate keys. Still trying to resolve.

I am very surprised at all the negative reviews for this game. I bought this game several years ago and played it a little. I have recently become more interested in mythology than ever before and have had some spare time to play games so I got it back out. It runs perfectly on my system not to mention I have not had one problem playing it online other than getting my rear end whooped every time. The story lines are fun and as far as a real time strategy game it is up their with the best. I am no expert but I have played Command and Conquer Generals and Warcraft III and this game is just as good if not better than those... and it has a mythological theme with all of the gods, heroes and beasts you could ask for. If you are a mythology fan and a strategy game fan you will like this game

I have also had a problem with the CD KEY. You can call their tech support # @ (952) 442-7000

Age of Mythology is a fun, fairly easy-to-understand RTS. The ability to play via LAN with only one disc is wonderful.

My only problem with this is that the Valusoft version is among those that were shipped out with identical product keys. This means that you cannot play games via the internet without using networking software like Hamachi and playing over LAN, cracking a product key on your own (which I wouldn't recommend), or sending a letter to Valusoft's customer service to request a new product key. In order to get the product key they ask you to send the game manual.

The seller on Amazon is ripping everyone off, and the reviews aren't correct...

This game is amazing. It's by far the best of all of the Ages series. I wish they would make an AOM II.

I am in college... I still play it for hours on end with my buddies on Local Area Network... that's right I'm a super nerd.

I highly recommend this game. Try the jewel case version for $9.99 first. Titans expansion isn't that different, so for $20+ more it's probably not work it.

My old AOM was getting all scratched up and I was interested in getting the expansion. So, I purchased this package from Valusoft. After installing it, I kept getting the message "CD Key cannot be validated..." I thought it might have been some software conflict. So I uninstalled my old version of AOM with the new one. No success. Got the same message. So I it was a software issue and I followed the instructions by waiting a few minutes before relogging. No success. After a few hours, I researched online to learn that Valusoft sent the same product key codes to all its customers. This makes multiplayer game play impossible. Not only can I NOT play the Titans, since that key has been long gone, I can NOT play my old game. Basically, Valusoft just stole one game from me without providing me another. Unbelieveable. Avoid purchasing this copy.
