PC Gamer scores Myth III: 58% { Lophan }
I haven't seen this reported elsewhere, so here ya' go:In the January 2002 issue of PC Gamer magazine, Myth III: The Wolf Age was reviewed and received a score of 58%. Now, one would think that they blasted it, but in truth the reviewer lauded the improvements and bemoaned the shortfalls. Here's a quick quote from reviewer William Harms:
I feel sorry for the folks at MumboJumbo who had to deliver Myth III to their overlords at Take-Two in a brutally fast 11 months. If the developers were given more time, they might have produced something special, but as it stands right now, this game is a mess.With the talk that Take-Two may be acquired by "our pals" at Microsoft, perhaps a "corrective" installment could be in our future. It would be sad indeed if Take-Two dropped the ball twice on the same project and kept the tools to fix this game out of the hands of the public.
