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.
