5.0 out of 5 stars Really helpful, February 10, 2008
This review is from: Age of Mythology: Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets (Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets) (Paperback)
My 11-year-old son, a huge fan of Age of Mythology, says it's "really helpful". I think you have to be pretty into the CD-Rom game to care much about the info in this book, but if you're as devoted as my son, it helps you play the game more effectively.
