Using familiar elements of classical mythology, Age of Mythology casts
players as one of nine unique civilizations from ancient Greek, Norse and
Egyptian mythologies. Players can reinforce their armies with mythological
creatures like Cyclopes and Minotaurs or call upon the mighty powers of gods
such as Zeus to rain down lightning bolts on unsuspecting enemies. Age of
Mythology also incorporates Ensemble Studios' trademark features from previous
Age of Empires games, including a compelling economic model, a massive army and
battle system, unequaled artificial intelligence, random maps, intuitive
gameplay and extreme attention to detail.
Age of Mythology's 3-D engine delivers impressive graphical detail in a fully
3-D environment, including beautiful waves and water, lifelike rolling terrain,
realistic sunlight, and lush forests. In-game cinematics create a seamless,
story-based and character-driven campaign which features 36 scenarios. In
addition, the game features incredible special effects with astonishing levels
of detail, including waterspouts, infernos, snowstorms, tornadoes and
earthquakes. Age of Mythology will be available this fall for an estimated
retail price of $49.99 (U.S.).
