One final venture into the lands of Myth II
Well, I may be biased because I have been playing Myth TFL and Soulblighter for the better part of the last 5 years, but I found this useful mainly for all the large projects stored on the CDs. I am rather lazy in the upgrading the computer depart, and i have a small HD which I couldnt really waste space with conversions i didnt play that much. This offers all the biggest and best covnversions on 3 cds that I found fairly easy to navigate. You get Myth2 also, which is cool. I recieved 2 free copies because some of my work is on it (yippee!). Check out Dreamseedz and Dreamseedz multiplayer for my magical little maps.

IF you are new to Myth, this is a wonderful deal, because it is cheap and comes with all the most popular projects right at your fingertips. By today's standards (2002) the graphics are rather dated, but it is still an incredibly addicting and entertaining game.

Waste of Money
"Myth:The Fallen Lords" and "Myth II: Soulblighter" are both excellent games that I would recommend to anyone.

But "Myth:Worlds" is such a poor product that I am actively telling friends of mine to skip it.

While the conversions and pulg-ins that I have DLed off the net in the past have been good, this mass collection of such items is so badly presented that it does not deserve to hold a price tag.

Companies love to throw together these bits and pieces associated with successful games, and then toss them onto the market to make a few extra bucks. The thing is, they place little or no effort in producing suitable manuals for installation, or setup screens to make things easier for the consumer. If I am nice enough to spend my money on a product, I expect the manufacturer to sell me something I will enjoy... not a confused mess that leaves me guessing as to how to install what, where, and when. What is worse, is when they are so lazy as to direct you to the particular plugins "manual" for further directions, and that manual is simply a copy of the old DL instructions from when the files were on the net, which are not really applicable here.

Compliations like this should include clear instructions as to how to install and run the various files. Also, explain just what the various files are and do. Is it that hard for the manufacturer to take the time to write a few pages doing so? I know the objective here is to milk as much money as possible out of the consumer, but come on.

If a company is going to be this lazy, and is going to try to take advantage of a game's popularity in this way, they simply do not deserve to cash in on what is only a lack of effort.

Another helping of a great series...
"Myth: The Fallen Lords" was a true classic, and "Myth II: Soulblighter" was a worthy sequel. "Myth II: Worlds" offers Myth fans a way to continue enjoying a great game by gathering maps, mods, and conversions along with the original "Myth II: Soulblighter" scenario. The Myth engine still holds up well, so the games look good and play great.

Granted, part of the material in "Myth II: Worlds" has been freely available for download in the past, but it's getting harder and harder to find. Most of the maps and conversions are professional quality, so I don't object to paying for them. But the price is a bit steep if you have "Myth II: Soulblighter" already.

If you haven't tried the Myth series yet, you really should try "Myth: The Fallen Lords" first. It's a fantastic gaming experience!
