| Might & Magic 9 Review @ Just RPG |
|
The last article from Just RPG today is another trip down memory lane to <a href="http://www.just-rpg.com/default.asp?pid=498" target="_blank">review</a> Might & Magic IX. Some of our regular visitors are fans of the M&M series and I can almost hear them sigh as I report the score of 55% and these opening comments:<blockquote><em> Why do people take a relatively well-working formula, then obliterate it almost completely? I refer to Might and Magic 9, a game released a while ago by 3DO, developed by New World Computing. A good game gone bad, MM9 is a perfect example of what NOT to do with a good thing.</em></blockquote> |

Well, I would still sorta like to play it but I don't want to pay more than $10 for it. |

I think the review and the negative opinion is justified but the tester forgot to mention that M&M9 has really great dungeons. They are much more interesting than those in the previous games, I think that's the only thin NWC did better in this game. |

yeah, MMVI and IX had the best dungeons, never played the others though...if they could just get the other things right with the game besides the kewl dungeons and make a new might and magic game...

i hope they will learn from this and make their next M&M more in-keeping with their established tradition. somebody has to pay for bad design, and it should have been the lead designer for this project.
EDIT -- that is, if they ever make the next one. |

I think they will, as Ubisoft has already purchased the series. |
