"Myth III stands on its own as a great single-player game. The epic story is simply terrific, especially after the first third of the game..."

Final Score: 8.7
"So I'm pretty happy. I got the chance to jump back into the Myth mythos and check out what happened before the triumphs in the first two games. Some unfortunate set backs, whether they were by design or bug dulled the experience a little bit, but not enough to hamper my enjoyment. Fans of the series shouldn't be disappointed by Mumbo Jumbo's effort to follow in the mighty footsteps that Bungie left behind..."

"The main development in the series is its big move into the total 3D realm. While Myth and Myth II were both graphically impressive with beautiful 3D terrain and physics, they were still confined to 2D characters and limited 3D acceleration support. In Myth III, all models—warriors, monsters, trees, etc.—are redesigned and fully 3D, using OpenGL to pump out new eye candy carnage, so most, if not all, of today's 3D cards will be able to run the game on both the PC and Mac..."

"In all, there are 12 new units in Myth III and over 40 in all. This should make for some great multiplayer gaming on GameSpy Arcade, with like Capture the Flag, Territories, Steal the Bacon, and Assault. And you can play the single-player missions in co-op mode. Very nice. The game also comes with an editor that will allow you to create your own units and maps..."

"One of the biggest transitions for the series that everyone has undoubtedly taken note of at this point is its revamped engine. While the basis for the engine is actually the Myth II engine, they have completely reworked the graphics engine and made significant enhancements to the AI based on user responses to problems they detected while playing Myth II..."

"I'm heartened that Mumbo Jumbo are bigtime Myth fans. They claim that collectively, they've played tens of thousands of hours of Myth. That bodes well, and setting up Myth 3 as a prequel is an interesting idea. The hero of this game is the...well, if you haven't played Myth, I don't want to spoil it for you. Go play Myth..."
