I have owned this game in one form or another since it first came out and have never gotten further then 2 broken hours into this game. No matter what I do the game is glitchy and runs choppy if it runs at all. Most of the time the game freezes on start up taking 5-25min to get to the menu when it does load. Then the loading agian between zones and rooms and interatction is super choppy and I feel there is alway a delay in command interactions. I am a huge fan of the Might and Magic series and have them all installed on my computers so I always have something to play. And this franchise is always new in game play with the combination of choices you can have. SO even though I can't play this game with out stressing on the glitching I hold on to this game in the hope that some programing Genius, Saint or fanatic will work on fixing this programing once and for all. For every one else reading this review definitely get the previous 3 installment to this game you wont be disappointed. I have loved these games for over 15 years.
