Customer Reviews of Myth 2: Soulblighter
Confusing Camera? HARDLY!!!! I am amazed at how some people hate the camera control in this game. When I first played Myth I, I was sure that the freedom of the camera would become standard in every Real-Time Strategy game. Sadly, only Myth II took advantage of this cool camera. Sadly, almost every RTS these days has a stationary camera, locked above with no way to zoom in or out, or get better angles. For me, this ruined Warcraft III. I hated being a static observer, not able to enjoy the game because of the lack of camera control. Warcraft III is still a fun game, but Myth II still stands above all.
P.S. - Try playing the tutorial three or four times. It should help you acclimate to the camera's controls
P.P.S. - If you liked Myth II, don't bother with Myth III. It's a lot worse
aw yeah
This game kicks azz
Your army fights evil armies up and down terrain. 360 pan of the action allow many angles. The controlls are simple 2 button to rotate view and mouse to select troops. Some throw bombs some shoot arrow some chop with sword.
This game is one of finesse, since you troops move at different rates and can be separated[bad for slow moving troops] Enemies are numerous and results of chopping and gerandes is bloody.
learn what a yrkridia and a trow are :)
Strategy , lots of strategy!
Myth 2 is a great real-time strategy game. It has a good story line and challenging solo player levels, and a large number of multi-player (competitive) playing options. The game is set in a quasi-medieval human-centric world familar to anyone who has ever played dungeons and dragons or read Tolkien or any other sword and sorcery fantasy literature. The story is a little less coherent or immersive than Myth: The fallen lords, but there are a number of features added to Myth 2 which make it just as (or more) enjoyable.
In the solo levels you battle the forces of evil in an epic campaign. The different missions occur in a variety of settings each with it's own goal. You get to control human soldiers and archers, berzerkers (think braveheart), dwarfs (who throw explosives), and warlocks. Your enemies include zombies, spear throwing flying souless, exploding pus corpses, tough pig beasts, giants, ghols (kind of a cross between monkeys and dogs), and other creatures.
What makes Myth so fun? Maybe the answer to that is to identify how Myth is different from the other combat & strategy games.
Firstly Myth is a "Real-Time" strategy game. There are no turns where one player makes a turn then the next player responds, everything happens in real-time - simultaneously. The battles are what Dungeons and Dragons battles would be like if you didn't have to keep rolling the dice, consulting charts and calculating numbers.
Unlike first person shooter games like Quake or Unreal, Myth puts you in charge of several units/troops at a time. You can give your troops orders independantly or have them work together, but you have to think about more than just one character, as you can have dozens of troops under your command at any one time.
Unlike combination resource building/strategy games that emphasize long-term planning and in which a single decision made early on can have disastrous consequences much later on - so that battles are more the result of how many and what types of weapons you have accumulated rather than on how good a commander you are, in Myth, the focus is on a player's strategy _in battle_ and immediately before battle.
When playing competitively against other players each player has (generally) the same mix and numbers of troops so that winning a game is not determined by who has accumulated the most toys, winning depends on using various types of units effectively, using terrain to your advantage, knowing when to fight and when to retreat, how to use troop formations, set traps, etc.
Although Bungie no longer provides the free bungie.net game server for Myth players to play with/against each other, you can still play Myth on a local network, directly with another player over the internet, or through use of one of the newer free Myth Game Servers (mariusnet.com or www.playmyth.net).
Myth 2 is very addictive fun. Myth is an old game at this point, but I would still recommend it. Die-hard fans still play the game regularly online and fans still create new competitive maps and solo missions which keep the game fresh. If you do get this game and want to play it online, you will need to download the latest update to the game which is available for free at www.versiontracker.com. [You still need to BUY the game, the free update only updates the game, it does not work on it's own] You can also find lots of Myth related info and strategy guides at the Myth Graveyard - mythgraveyard.mything.org
