At the end of a battle, heads and limbs are everywhere, not to mention buckets of blood. I played 5 missions of Myth II before I realized I was playing in software mode, and it still looked good. But when I put the game in 3D mode at full resolution the graphics were outstanding. Weather effects like rain were really good too. The berzerks look like a bunch of Mel Gibsons from the movie Braveheart with their painted faces and yes they have Scottish accents.
Sound effects are excellent, the sound of arrows hitting armor or flesh are realistic.
The swooshing noises when a group of Berzerks start cutting up on some undead with their swords are really neat too. When you win a mission, your troops clang their swords together and cheer. Absolutely the best value in the store right now. These games have proven to be among the finest rts out there, with excellent interface, gameplay, and graphics. Original Myth needed D3d support.
