Godlike soundtrack, very below average game

This game is only worth buying because of the wonderful soundtrack composed by Paul Anthony Romero which added the main part of atmosphere of the game. Only buy it therefore as cheap as possible. Might and magic IX was this kind of title which always has his problems. I got this version to work with the help of dgvoodoo under Windows 10 64 BIT. It never really worked under 98 or XP. I played it until late in the game but got the hang of it due to brainsick puzzles and nosferatu enemies in a dark area. My party had a high level but no chance against them. I wasn't willing to level up the party anymore because the game totally sucked at this point. At a special stage in the game you will have to make suicide with each party member to reach a new area in the game!!! What a weird and sick story decision. If I had known this before buying the game I would have skipped it. Shall this document the later fate of 3DO? The story of the game isn't worth mentioning it. I really liked the colorful cartoonish style of this open world. The jupiter litech engine is shining. The collecting mania worked so far and some magic spells were cool. The enemy models were drawn with lifeblood. Count it all together and it couldn't save this title.

Dissapointment

Got the retailbox when it was released. It teached me to get info before buying even if its a cool franchise. Loved part 3-8, and I'm still convinced that this piece of crap (excuse my language, but M&M9 gets me really emotional) was the last and biggest nail in the RPG M&M franchise. Plus Side: Whenever the hype of a game without known hard facts begins to get me I dig out the box and stare at it as a bad reminder.

Frisbee anyone...?

First of all, I have played all of them, yes even going back to MMI all those years ago. I'm looking at the retail box of MMIX on my shelf as I type this. Makes me wonder what would have been if they had been able to finish the game, instead of publish and hope it saves the company. Such a great license, so much lore, to end with a whimper instead of a roar... a waste. Buy the other 8, and avoid this one. Save yourself...

Good prealpha MM9

I've completed this game multiple times and still it looks pretty good. It cannot start on Win10 out of the box, but there is fix for it. If you never played M&M series do not start with this one, if you played 6-8 parts - feel free to try it, but be ready to some bugs. Basically it is prealpha of the game that could be.

Fun game but so hard to get it to work

It worked well on Windows 7 (it did crash every once in a while but I dont expect much on an old game). Windows 8 was such a huge hassle to get it to work but it did work for a while. Windows 10 it has not worked at all. I did get an incident/request submitted but they were not able to resolve the issues. I get the small window for a quick second then it closes out no matter what compatibilty settings or other settings I choose.
