Up until then war movies were very unrealistic, with wounded soldiers just grasping their sides and falling down. Myth , in many ways, reminds me of the first time I saw Apocalypse Now. Carnage is everywhere, a very refreshing change from the sanitized battlefields of previous games.

Most game developers have tended to shy away from showing the brutality of hand to hand combat. I am a big fan of realism and like the idea of being able to tell where a battle has taken place by the pools of blood that have formed on the ground (shades of Mel Boy's Braveheart) and this game does not disappoint. Myth goes beyond the cliché 'visual treat'. The squeamish need not applyĪny review must start with the graphics. It is one of the few instances in recent memory where reality has matched hype. I am quite pleased to say that Myth has met every one of my expectations and surpassed it. But as time marched on and more and more proclaimed Myth as being 'The Next Big Thing' I was concerned whether I would be disappointed if it wasn't the be all and end all of real-time wargaming (an affliction currently making the Starcraft rounds in my mind).

With every new taste from the hype machine the expectation for of gamers grew. When Myth was first announced and we were presented with those screenshots filled with carnage, most of us went 'cool' and smacked our lips in anticipation.
