My first RTS game on my 52 game challenge... This one I did not play the campaign with, though one is available, as my girlfriend only wanted to play a bunch of multiplayer games with me. Age of Mythology is pretty clearly in the Starcraft/Warcraft vein of the mid-90s of RTS and it sticks to it by the numbers. You choose your civilization and as you advance through to the different ages your units and buildings upgrade, then you build some armies and beat up the other guys base. Pretty damn standard, right? Yes, with one very cool twist - TITANS!! Many games use the word 'titan', some use them well (I don't think I'll ever forget my first titan sighting in EVE Online) and some do not (Destiny I'm looking at you) and AoM is very much in the former - as your civ ascends to the very top of its height it may summon a single Titan unit - each has a different one, and the two I summoned were from Hades and Gaia. Hades brought forth Cerberus, a three-headed dog-man who stood 10 times the height of every other unit who emerges from a portal to the hells. These titans then stomp across the entire map (you can even see your enemies titan, because they're so huge!!) and are next to impossible to kill. From a balance standpoint I'm sure it's a nightmare but from a game feature pov? I fuckin' loved it. While I do see why my girlfriend is so fond of the series it does feel a little too by-the-numbers as I mentioned so I don't think I'd ever choose the classic RTS like C&C or Warcraft over this one. I had plenty of fun with it though watching my girlfriends titan flatten my town :D
