M&M9 - Don't Bother

DO NOT waste your money on this title. Very dated graphics and load times absolutely cripple this game. This is 2002? Well this title looks as if it is right out of 1992! I have been playing for about 4 hours, totally bored. I swear half that time was waiting for load times. Mind you I am playing on a P4 with 64MB Nvidia card. Utter [junk]! Wait and buy Dungeon Seige and Warcraft3. My rating of one star is being kind.

Going down hill fast....

I don't know what 3DO is thinking with this line of games. The first six of these games aren't bad and are some of the classics of the genre. However, once seven came along, there were some very dramatic facelifts to the RPG. Baldur's Gate and Torment came out around the same time and really added some needed depth to the RPG. The M&M series is still stuck in that same old rut of level, new spell, new dungeon, new level, etc. etc. So that leads up to the newest installment. They have finally improved over the 2D graphics of five years ago with a 3D model that looks like it should have come out 4 years ago. The characters and voices you can choose from are pure cheese, similar in a way to Wizardry 8 (However on the whole that RPG is much better). Then there is the game itself. Wandering through monotonous realms slashing this and blasting that. Fundamentally the same system of levels and skills are in place in the previous installments. There is no depth to speak of, and I found that I had to force myself to keep playing after awhile due to mounting boredom.
There is nothing new here. And what few improvements that have been made should have been made to the series several years ago.

Unbelieveable

After all the innovations over the past 15 years, Might and Magic still looks the SAME! If you like the game play of Might and Magic, you will enjoy this game, however, I can't seem to get past the fact that the graphics look as though they were created on a Commadore 64. The graphics and type are blocky, like first gen games.. for those at 3D0, PLEASE PLEASE invest in a new engine that isn't 10 years behind your compitition!!

Sorry guys... this game crashes and burns!

I've played the last 4 M&M games and have loved them all. I have also played all the Heroes of M&M games and think they are excellent. Basically, up until last night, I was a New World Computing fanatic.

That is until I played M&M9... I won't go into the details but the graphocs are the least of the problems. It's lost all sense of immersion and is extremely flat, buggy and boring. I honestly can't believe it. This probably spells the end for this otherwise fantastic series. NWC should really reevaluate the team that produced this product.

However, Hereoes of Might and Magic 4 is excellent!!!

what's going on?

I've had to come online to double check I had the right game - I thought maybe I'd learnt my roman numerals wrong or this was a counterfit version - I say this because when I started playing this game I immediately thought OH no, I've got the earliest version of MM not the latest!! I loved MM6 and 7, the inventory was great and the graphics while not the flashest were enjoyable, and the layout easy to use, like mixing potions and using the maps. This game is seriously limited - it's like everything you could do has been taken away. On top of that it glitches out left right and center. I'm bummed, I was looking forward to getting stuck into a new game and I've been landed with this budget junk. You'd be better off to drag out the old MM games and play them than put time and moneyt into this.
