I liked the way characters who survived one battle were able to take part in the next. The scenarios also are laid out in an entertaining, progressive manner. Myth is good as a single-player game, but it has support for Internet multiplayer games using game variants to keep things from getting boring. Bungie did a particularly good job with the game's interface, which is very logical and easy. And the addition of a good tutorial made getting into the first scenario a cinch.
Myth really has only two weaknesses.
The first is the character AI is pretty stupid, so you'll always have to keep a close eye on things or your boys will soon be toast. But Myth is a good step forward for this kind of gaming, and one worth checking out. Vox Day, a syndicated game-review columnist and novelist, designs games for Fenris Wolf and GT Interactive.
