Here's their summary: Since finishing this review, I haven't played M&M IX. Not even once. This is a first for me. Even M&M VIII, which I thought was a duller, shorter version of M&M VII, kept me more engaged. The only time I felt the old need-to-play assert itself was in the M&M IX's dungeons, which used to be only mildly entertaining in M&M games. Combat is much improved, and a real challenge, now. However, every other activity has been reduced to a chore, against a frustratingly attractive but noninteractive background. Generic is a good word for this game. It's got reasonably good balance, fine graphics and exciting combat, and the old sense of humor is still there in out-of-the-way places (Robert and Douglas, Ludwig Van's Beet Hoven, etc). But the wild imagination and pull of distant desirable goals -- to walk on water, to fly over inaccessible mountain peaks, to visit far off cities only hinted at in the early game -- is gone. Certainly playable, M&M IX just isn't memorable.
