5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Strategy Game; Highly Engaging, January 19, 2001

Are you looking for a great strategy game, where tactical skills are tested? You've come to the right place!

For RPG gamers and real-time strategy wargamers, Myth is a must-have. The game is available for both PC and Mac, which will give Mac wargamers something to cheer about.

The game is set in a fantasy-land, with you as the commanding general. Your skills will be needed to battle the evil minions that plague the land. Each scenario is a direct advance from a previous scenario, so the continuity of the game ends up feeling more like an RPG than a simulation or wargame.

The game controls will take a little time to get used to, but once mastered will enhance gameplay. For true wargamers, the strategies you employ are vital to your army's success. You can manipulate one soldier, several soldiers, or all soldiers in any combination. You have dwarves (who throw molotov coctails at oncoming fiends) and archers who act as a first line of defense. Protection of your troops is, in this game, just as important as making sure your enemies are sliced and diced. You have ten formation options, which can greatly enhance your army's effectiveness.

The game is very playable, extremely exciting, and not easy to win. Becasue it plays in real time, there is no way to pause and regroup (Pause? yes. Regroup? yes. Do both at the same time? Not really). Your army is vastly outnumbered in many of the scenarios, and it will take your cunning ways to out-maneuver and out-flank them.

The game has a few pleasant surprises (maybe not for your army, but YOU will be intrigued by them), which make the game that much more fun to play. This is a game to buy and keep!

3.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE OF SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY, November 14, 2001

This is a great game, however the newer systems will not be able to run it. I have a P4 with WINME and the game crashed every time...I could not even get into the game to play. The box states that the game is compatible, but personal experience has taught me otherwise. Just beware.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best PC game ever, November 22, 2000

By

This review is from: Myth: The Fallen Lords (CD-ROM)

This game is unbelievably immersive. Complex controls easily overlooked by it's infinite replayability. Cross platform (PC/Mac) multiplayer games is revolutionary and new 3rd party maps are constantly being released (some on par with the original Bungie maps.) In short, this game is in a category of it's own. And since it's been out for 3 years, you just can't beat the price. GET THIS!
