	GameSpy.com - Review
		Mythic's second expansion to its popular MMORPG expands the world outward and downward, and is a great ride for those at a high enough level to see it.
		The most striking aspect of the new environments is how skilled Mythic is at art direction: While the new engine looks good, the new areas look much better than can be attributed to the engine on its own.
		The pseudo-Egyptian desert land of Stygia, the underwater dungeons with their reptilian defenders, and the other new zones that exist in identical formats in all the realms manage to create such a unique sense of place that they expand the world not just in size, but also in scope.
