I am a huge fan of the Might & Magic series. Played them all to death. (Currently replaying M&M 6, 7 and 8 for the 15th, 18th, and 21st times, respectively.) The only one of the entire series that is a total let-down is this one. I made the mistake of buying it when it came out, thinking that it would be a great experience. Wrong! The 3D is terrible and you have to walk EVERYWHERE. There are no coaches, you cannot Fly, you can take a boat, but it's limited. The graphics for somethings are lovely, but for the creatures, it's... well... abysmal. They should have gone with what they had going and updated the 2D graphics instead of attempting 3D with this horrible mess. It is, by far, the most boring game I have ever played. Truly bad. The enemies don't re-spawn for ages, so you are forced to trek forever an a week to reach new places, just to gain new levels. Lord help you if you're in a section past your skill level, because you'll be wiped out faster than you can ask what happened. Badly organized, rushed through production, no decent storyline, quests you really don't care about.... I could go on, but why? The only people I would recommend this game to are those who absolutely MUST have every single M&M game for their collection.... but I warn those people: this is awful. I wish someone had warned me. Even as I write this, I shudder as I recall the first town and the first quest you get in the nearby countryside. Worst game ever!
