Guide Review - Age of Mythology: The Titans Expansion

With Age of Mythology, Ensemble Studios took all the popular game-play features of the Age of Empires series, enhanced them, and released a near perfect real-time strategy game. With upgraded 3D graphics and easier multi-player capability the success of Age of Mythology meant that we'd be in store for at least one expansion pack.

Age of Mythology: The Titans Expansion keeps everything that was great about the original title; the multi-player interface, the 3D graphics, familiar "Age" game-play and enhances everything that was disappointing.

First off, there's a new civilization, the Atlanteans with it's own Gods, God powers, and mythical units. The new single player campaign is much improved over the original Age of Mythology campaign, with a dozen missions that have objectives other than attack and defeat.

On top of the new civilization each existing civilization has some added features, powers, and units. The most significant unit to come form Age of Mythology The Titans Expansion is the Titan unit itself. If you are fortunate enough to have the resources, these extremely expensive war machines can literally decide the outcome of the game, buy destroying virtually everything in their path.
