Might and Magic 7: For Blood & Honor

Rating:
Summary: All that and more
Review: After reading the other reviews, I have to say I agree with both ends of the spectrum, this is a mindless slash and hack focused on money and experience (kind of like life - only you can restart MM7). But at the same time, I find myself sitting there for hours killing the bad guys, and trying to get that next level or skill. Sort of like a sitcom of adventure gaming.

Summary: An addicting pleaser in a proven form
Review: Although Might and Magic 7: For Blood & Honor is not very different then it's predecessor, Might and Magic 6, it is just as fun. I admit that this game doesn't do much for originality, but I don't think all new games need to be original. This game takes a winning formula and just uses it again! If you liked #6, #7 is more then worth it. If you didn't like, or were ambivilant toward #6, then For Blood & Honor is probably not your cup of tea either.

Review: Graphics are great. Action is up close and COLORFUL

Summary: Another Example of sitting on your laurels
Review: Here is a game that, rather than doing anything new after the success of its predacessor, chose to simply reuse an outdated graphics engine and make the gameplay insanely repetative. Not to say that it doesnt have any of the things that made Might and Magic 6 good in it but with games like baldur's gate and Planescape: Torment out there are much much better ways to spend your gaming dollar.

Summary: Best of Hack 'n Slash
Review: I admit the graphics on Might & Magic VI are downright ugly. They're hidious, consdering this game was released in 1999, NOT three-five years ago. The game is mostly a hack 'n slash feast, endless monsters berate you...but I love it! I've played so-called 'great' RPGs (Diablo, Baldur's Gate) and although those games are good, something about the Might & Magic series, 7 included, I like better. If you really like killing tons of different monsters, then this is a great game. If you don't, however, you could be in trouble.

Summary: Good storyline, Too many monsters. 3.5 stars indeed
Review: I am a long-time M&M devotee. I played every game of this gorgeous series. On the last M&M 6, it is put on a new high level. But in this sequel, it seems to do the same thing without new surprise. To be fair, this game is still lots of fun. I like the storyline very much--- in the game, whevever you are so careful, you MUST choose your route between good or evil, and then become the foe and the killer of the other side. This is life. And numerous quests make you always has something to do. The most disadvantage of this game is the unnecessary lots of monsters. I hate myself doing the same thing again and again, accept a guest, kill the monsters, get the item. (In fact I am not killing the monster, I'm killing my time....) If 3DO company know this, this game and the following sequels(M&M 8,9,10,...) would be far more better. (But alas, I just purchased a copy of M&M 8, and the monsters seem to be even far more.)

Review: I didn't buy the game but one of my brothers friends had the mellinum edition and gave it to me and i enjoyed the game because it was easy and yet challenging at the same time but it was still fun and was creative.
