Gamespot
Final Score: 8.4

"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..."

PC.IGN
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..."

"Most of the changes seen in Myth III are incredibly subtle or have very little impact on actual gameplay, and for obvious reason: Mumbo Jumbo hired a number of fans within the Myth community to help develop Myth III and ensure that it does nothing to drastically disrupt the Myth legacy. In fact, Mumbo Jumbo has used these same people as an initial quality assurance team..."

GameSpy

"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..."

PC.IGN

"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..."

 

<% Dim aFactoids(7) aFactoids(1) = "Elevation is important. Units benefit from being positioned above enemy units. Archers, particularly, can take advantage of this fact to obtain battlefield superiority." aFactoids(2) = "Myth III is a prequel. Myth III: The Wolf Age actually takes place roughly 1,000 years before the previous two titles. The game is now set in 1421 AE (it still takes place in a fantasy world)." aFactoids(3) = "Mac fans can celebrate. True to the series, Myth III: The Wolf Age is planned for release on both the PC and Mac, with the latter to follow a couple of weeks behind the former, according to the publisher." aFactoids(4) = "25 single player levels are included. In a recent interview, MumboJumbo's Mike Donges indicated that one can expect 20 or 30 hours of gameplay from the Myth III single player game alone, with multi-player adding significantly to this." aFactoids(5) = "Units galore. Myth III: The Wolf Age adds and refines numerous units, now bringing the total count to over 40. Enjoy most of the classic units alongside new additions such as the Gower Hearthguard and the Smiths of Muirthemne." aFactoids(6) = "Brute force vs. solid tactics? Myth III: The Wolf Age makes a conscious effort to improve the tactical value of intelligently using appropriate units against suitable enemies." aFactoids(7) = "One, two, three... Myth III: The Wolf Age is actually the third title in the Myth series, originally created by Bungie. MumboJumbo, Myth III's developers, aimed to build on a solid foundation of the previous titles, while refining and enhancing the story and game play." Randomize i = Int(UBound(aFactoids)*Rnd)+1 %>
