Summary: MM6 is my favorite Role-Playing Game
Review: I love this game, way more than I liked newer games with better graphics, like Diablo or Baldur's Gate (even though I did like Diablo and Baldur's Gate). What's so special about it?
1) In other games, I sometimes felt as if I were slogging through a level. In MM6, something is always happening. One goes up in level quite often, so there are new spells or better skills or new weapons or more armor or some goodie or the other every time you turn around. Most of the monsters have a least a couple of goldpieces, so nearly every critter killed gives you something. This makes the game very addictive -- just get one more level, and you can get that skill you want; just kill five more monsters and you can afford that armor. What? It's 4 a.m.?
2) One can play battles in real time or in turn-based mode. I have truly miserable hand-eye coordination, and many video games are simply too hard for me and thus not fun. This game lets the dexterous play in real time, but the turn-based option lets those of us who are nondexterous play, too. I wish every game had a turn-based option! Also in this vein, you use your characters' skills to attack monsters, not your own, so you don't have to line up a blow with a sword or an arrow from a bow or a fireball from a wizard -- you just tell your charcters whom you want them to attack, and they figure it out. You figure the strategy; your characters handle the hand-eye coordination. That's why they're the adventurers, and you're sitting at a computer. :-)
3) The party is large enough that one gets to take advantage of several different types of skills -- you can have a fighter, a mage, a cleric, AND an archer -- but they move as a unit, so the game doesn't descend into the chaos that some other RPG's do.
4) Many recent RPG's seem to be so concerned with realism that they've sacrificed gameplay -- just as one example, I've played RPG's where archers are always having to run back to town to buy more arrows, even if they buy 500 at a time. In MM6, there's some concern with realism but more concern with gameplay. If you have a bow, it's assumed that you have arrows to go with it -- you never have to buy any. There are some space limitations, but no weight limitations, so if it fits in your space allotment, you can carry it.
5) The Mandate Mania website (run by a fan, not the official site) is one of the most helpful game websites I've ever seen. They give LOTS of information, and it's very well organized.
6) I could go on and on, but this is long enough. :-) The game is fun and charming, reasonably easy without being dull, and has lots of skills, quests, places, and items.

Summary: An awsome game
Review: I thought of it as a great game! It kept me busy for a long time. I think that everyone would love this game. But, there were a few bugs in the game, but I avoided them. The graphics may seem strange, but they are easy to get used to. And there are so many areas to go in, it amazed me. It also gives a "historical" review of each item. I am also a fan of the Might and Magic series, so it impressed me.

Summary: Excellent game! Great Value!
Review: It's been a very long time since I have played this game but it truly is one of the best RPG's I have ever played. The graphics aren't the best, especially compared to todays standards. But if you can look past that then you'll find an amazing, well balanced RPG which will consume MANY enjoyable hours from you. It's not an easy game, but it's not impossible either. It will challenge you from start to finish. And for ... (at the time of this review) it would be crazy to pass up this great deal of a game. A word of note: This game is better than Might and Magic VII and FAR better than Might and Magic VIII (do NOT buy VIII). VI is definitely the BEST of the entire series. Buy it, you wont be disappointed.

Summary: An Outstanding Game
Review: Might and Magic 6 is an outstanding game. It may even be the best game that I've ever played. It gave me years of fun as I tried to beat it. I finally did, and even with the strategy guide, it was a challenge to say the least. It will challenge the best of RPG players. That is a guarentee!

Summary: Perfection
Review: Might and Magic 6 is the best computer game I've ever played. The plot is highly creative, the difficulty is a perfect balance of easy and hard, and it requires dedication and work. Any true RPGer willing to dedicate him or herself to training his or her four characters until they can conquer anything the game throws at them will greatly appreciate this game and will be very glad that he or she purchased this video-gaming masterpiece.

Summary: Impressive Improvement
Review: Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven was an extreme improvement over its prequils. It's the first Might and Magic game to have an actual 3D world. Some may critisize the use of 2D sprites in the game. The reason for this is to save memory. At some point in the game literally hundreds of enemys could be in the area at a time, and to use 3D objects would take up too much memory. The thing I was dissapointed in was the roster. You can only have human characters, the ninja class no longer exists (I love ninjas), and you can't change your current pary (like in all the previous MM titles). Other than that it's very fun to play for hours.

Summary: Excellent Value
Review: OK, OK, so the graphics in this game aren't top-of-the-line, but when a game is this much fun, who cares? For your money, you're unlikely to get a single-player RPG that will last you as many happy hours as Might and Magic 6. If you enjoyed any of the traditional-style M&M RPGs before this one, you will be pleased to know that the transition to the modern 3D-style graphics has not affected the addictive flavour of the gameplay. My only complaint with this game is that the monster-sprites can sometimes project through walls when they're not supposed to, and the game relies on your "honesty" not to attack the monsters when they are defenseless on this way.

Summary: Could have been better.
Review: The graphics aren't as good as they could be, and the game gets monotonous after a while. Don't get me wrong, the game is a great idea and great role-playing, but 3DO could have worked wonders with the idea and it didn't.
