Playing this as I child I was both entertained and intrigued for more knowledge by this game. There lots of hammy acting like any fmv game, but the game is pretty, has an interesting premise and is very accessible due to your friendly, witty and slighly annoying ai helper. I have played the game through several times and it is not to be missed. Whether this or exile is the best presto game is hard to say, but of the pc journeyman project games this is by far the best.
The final might and magic game, lacks the charm and scope of the old games. A smaller world to explore, fewer less crazy monsters and loot. No apparent relation to the old games and a lack of polish. If you want you can reset the dungeons because of the weird save system where each dungeon gets a file, which incidentally can also help you out if the game bugs out. Try 6 or 7 instead.
When I played this game many years ago it was a pretty but frustrating as hell. The game has one big problem, most actions in the latter part of the game are timed. This combined with the 360 look functionality made it hard to find what to click before the time ran out, which often was only seconds. You will probably need a walkthough to complete the game. As far as I remember you usually checkpoint not to far back when you die. So you don't have to save all the time. Anyways the gameplay is very discouraging.
