Myth III: The Wolf Age

A must-see RTS experience with a rich single-player campaign and a whopping 14 styles of multiplayer competition.

I don't use the word 'glorious' lightly - Myth III's use of 3D is possibly a new benchmark against which subsequent RTS titles will be judged.

Vastly superior to the previous Myth games. [Feb 2002, p.80]

If you can play it, focus your efforts on the campaign -- it's fun, and for the most part works as advertised. Hopefully, by the time you are finished with Connacht's tale, a patch to fix the many multiplayer issues will be ready.

Keeps the series on the cutting edge of visual excellence, but the storyline goes in the opposite direction, taking the player back 1,000 years before the first two games in the franchise.

Although this game is seemingly benign in appearance, it quickly becomes window dressing for the text portion of your missions. [Jan 2002, p.94]

This game mostly adds more of the same… unless you count the bugs, broken features, and unpolished gameplay. Those are all new to the series.
