Exciting and Addictive
I've lost my crossed swords! I'm a plain shield again, a victim of collusion between two players who caught me in a murderous cross-fire. With Giant Myrkridia on either side pummeling them with exploding projectiles, my poor warriors were doomed no matter which way they turned. Too, late, I realized that I should have taken to the high ground earlier, gotten a little more range for my dwarven bomb-throwers, and maybe wreaked enough damage to minimize my point loss. If you've tried Myth II on-line, you know what I'm talking about. The game was "Body Count;" the setting was the "Badlands." The goal was simple and brutal: kill as many of the other players' creatures as possible, while minimizing your own losses. Depending on how you do, and the ranks of your fellow players, you will either gain or lose points, sometimes a lot. Your rank depends on points, and your self-esteem depends on your rank. How I envy the princes and emperors who flaunt their exhalted status, disdaining the lowly swords and shields who make up the vast bulk of the players. Sometimes one will allow you to team up with him, giving you a simpler task, while he goes off to trounce the enemy. Several times now, in "Flag Rally," I've undertaken to guard the home flag while the senior partner endeavors to capture the enemy's, knowing that any points I get, or lose, will be soley the result of his prowess. But how else can I learn the tactics and strategies that will allow me to progress? If you haven't guessed yet, it's addictive; it's, in fact a sub-culture. As a parent of now fortunately grownup kids, I hate to think of all the home-work left undone, the books unread, the basketballs undribbled, and the girls undated because of "King of the Hill," "Assassin," "Hunting," or the several other variations that Myth II online offers. Combine this with several map options and the ability to play alone or as part of a team, and you have a combination that will suck you in big time. As my wife said, it they had had this years ago when we were dating, I probably would not have had time for her. True, so true! So, I say, young men, for the sake of future generations--indeed, so there will be future generations--stay away from this game" Leave it to my generation; leave it to me, "Hirtus Vetus", the "Old Goat!" --Hirtus Vetus for Skirmisher Online Gaming Magazine

A wonderful multiplayer experience
This is one of the better Strategy games that I have played since Warcraft. This game has the ability to have up to 16 different individuals playing at the same time which makes it a great multiplayer experience. It is available for windows, but if you are a linux fan like myself, you realize that it is not so easy to find linux version games. This is one you should definitally have. If you like Warcraft, Starcraft, Command and Conqeuor, or any other strategy role playing style of games then you will love this port for linux. If people buy and use linux and its games, then developers will make more linux versions of popular games. Thanks for reading my opinon.

Myth 2 review
Myth 2 is actually the best game I have ever played. I got Myth 2 about 2 years ago. And over those 2 years I have bought about 6 new games and I still think Myth 2 is the best game I have ever played. Its the only game I play. Its multiplayer is the main reason I play the game. you can play up to 16 people at a time. And the maps you download are the funnest. One map is so good, Its the only map I play.
