I remember when this game was about to come out. I was SO badly looking forward to the release. It got here, I loaded it up on my Pentium 3 750mhz beast, spent two hours patching video cards and system drivers, and craaaawwwwled through the first 10 hours of this friggin nightmare of a game. I must admit, I never finished it. In fact, I didn't play ever again. Something threw me off about this one. I don't know if it was the pace of the turn based combat, the tedium of moving so very little through such a massive game, or just the fact that I had very little patience in my collegiate, weed-soaked, delirium. For 3 bucks though...this one may just get tried out again. I'll let you know if this time is different. If you have the patience, I'd say go for it for sure. Can't go wrong with that summer price.
I've been a lover of this series since Might and Magic 3. But, the World of Xeen is the true kicker on this one for me. I have very fond memories, yes most are very nostalgic, of this game. However, the amount of game play, the depth of RPG awesomeness that this package provides, is absolutely undeniable. This is true character building and micromanagement in a package that is classic, but was quite ahead of its time at release. Enjoy this folks, this is a perfect game for a windows based tablet, or just a nice winter day with a Coke and some pretzels on your desk. Hope you love it half as much as I do.
