5/30/2023 0 Comments Myth ii soulblighter music![]() ![]() Bungie claims that, with a good set of speakers, you could play the game by sound! While there is no in-game music, there are a lot of in-game sounds, all 3D sound if you’ve got the equipment. The music is top notch, and you may actually want to get the soundtrack. The stars may seem unimportant or unnecessary, but because one unit (ghols) can pick and throw body parts (a fairly important attack), it is very necessary (it is actually the reason the 1st game didn’t have the no blood option). This replaces the blood with sparkles and body parts with stars. However, for the squeamish, the game (unlike Myth 1) has a no blood option. When I said bloody, I mean bloody! The game is full of gore, bodies, and body parts. It is one of the coolest things to see a group of thrall blown to bloody bits by a dwarf, the body parts flying through the air! Graphically, the game is much better looking than many 1st or 3rd person games, and it supports 3D cards to boot! The game runs very smoothly, much more so than its predecessor, on a fast computer – and acceptably on slower machines (believe me, I’ve seen it both ways). As you can see, it requires a higher level of thinking.īut Myth II is definitely not just some brainiac game with no flare or style. Now, instead of mindlessly clicking to build more units and then just telling them to attack, you must carefully maneuver your troops, get an uphill advantage, and then mount an attack with superior forces, all while fending off enemy attacks and keeping them distracted with hit and run attacks. ![]() Not only does it make the game stand out, it also lends itself to a higher level of thinking while actually giving more action than RTS games. This, combined with the 3D camera, make Myth II far different than other real time combat games. In a RTT game, you get your units and worry about how your going to attack and the small battles, not the large battles. What is the difference you ask? Well, in a RTS game you build structures and units and worry about the overall battle, not small battles. Myth II is a what I call a real time tactical game, not so much a real time strategy game. Now that I have an iMac, however, it runs flawlessly and looks really awesome! Now, on with the review. Though it was a bit slow on my family’s old 120 MHz Performa, it runs well in single-player, and if I turn off some options, multiplayer too. The game was everything I thought (hoped) it would be. As you probably guessed, my expectations were really high for the game. I related that little story to show you what I went through to get it. Now I’m probably gonna get flamed for saying that, but I thought it was a safe place. Fearing that someone would take it while I walked to the car, I hid it behind a Mahjong Parlor box (who ever buys that game anyway?). And – you guessed it – I saw it! I grabbed and just about walked out of the store with it, before I realized I needed to pay for it. So one night we stopped by Best Buy, not really expecting to see Myth II there, and I ran inside to check. Turns out, they said my Dad hadn’t ordered it. So, after a prolonged wait, it arrived in stores, and my peecee using friend got it. And, to top it all off, a bug was discovered in the Windoze uninstaller! Though a few lucky people got it before the aforementioned Windoze uninstaller bug was discovered, most of us had to wait for the 1.1 updated version to hit the shelves. Then it didn’t arrive in stores before Christmas, hurting sales greatly. First, the game wasn’t out by the end of November as I had hoped. But was it worth the wait? What about the bug that delayed its release two weeks? Should I get it? These questions will be answered (unless I forget some).Īs I said earlier, Myth II took a long time to arrive at the stores. Myth II: Soulblighter is finally out! It took its sweet time getting here, but it has finally gotten to the stores. ![]()
