Rating: Summary: Awesome RPG Review: This game is one of the best games I have played in years. Although it starts out slow, once you play for a few hours you will be totally ingrossed. My parents thought I was stupid to play it because the graphics were not up to date, but does that really matter? The graphics were adaquite and the sheer size of the game itself overshadowed the few bug it had. There is so much to do that it will keep even the most experienced RPGers busy for at least 75 hours. The biggest problems are that charactes can partially come through walls and the grid boundris are very exact. I reccomend this game to RPG and non-RPG fans alike.
Rating: Summary: Best RPG ever :) Review: This game is simply a masterpiece, and probably the last truly great game released by the now laughable 3D0/New World Computing team. By todays' standards, are the graphics appalling? Yes. Does it really matter after about five minutes? Not a bit. Truly, if this game were released today with all our awesome technology, it would still be a bugger for even the fastest of GPUs, simply because you encounter hundreds upon hundreds of monsters as you go through the game, not to mention the fact that the setting of the game is mind-bogglingly huge.I wish I could say more about the plot elements of the game but there isn't too much to say without spoiling what comes next. It is a really engaging story, and although you might feel limited by the choices you get in the first part of the game, in the end it serves as a great lesson in understanding the game mechanics as well as understanding how incredibly far from square one this game will take you by the time you complete your last quest. Anyway, it has been many a moon since I played this game (summer of 1999) but it remains far and away the most riveting gaming experience of my life so far. There have been many many prettier games than this one, several that I consider truly classic, but none so memorable and totally enthralling. I went to work everyday thinking about this game and very likely hurt my relationship with my girlfriend in my absolute need to load it up for hours on end every day. And, I don't even PLAY RPGs! So put that in yer pipe and smoke it, bub.

Rating: Summary: Best RPG ever :) Review: This is the best RPG I have played so far. Graphics may not be up to todays standard, but the gameplay surpasses anything that is out there. There are so many little touches that make it stand out. Things I like about the game: - freedom to move where I want at any time, doing quests in any order I want, the way quests are executed, and the layout of the quest dungeons, making potions, concepts like reputation, fame, skills, aging, teachers, expert/master grade, guild memberships, day/night cycle, many specialized stores, possibility to fight at the Arena when I'm stuck in a quest, and so on. I guess many games contain some of these, but I don't know of any game where all of this have been executed so close to perfection. Highly recommended! And it works perfectly on XP too! ;)
Rating: Summary: A must get game! Review: This is the bets game ever! With pleanty of monsters, maps and weapons it will keep you playing well after you win. Might and MAgic 6 never gets old. I have been playing this game for 5 years straight!
Rating: Summary: A Nice Time Killer Review: Until MM 6, I was basiclly unaware of the entire series. Blindluck alone led to the purchase of this game, as I was bored, standingin the store, complaining senselessly about the lack of available RPGs. Eyeing this game, I bought it, determined not to leave without some kind of trophy marking my journey. While this is not as in depth as I would have liked, the story and background was very intriguing. King Roland vanished in Kriegspire after a bold and decisive defeat against the Devils, who arrived on the Night of Shooting Stars. Can you lead this band of rugged adventures through the perils of Engoth and save the day? The interface is simple and yet allows for some complex tricks, something I thoroughly enjoyed. The characters are shallow, but the total variety of items/armor/weapons and quests makes up for it. I spent far too much time in Dragonsand, repeatedly hunting out those Relics and Artifacts from Dragons, but still I feel as though more time should have been spent, for I never found them all. A good buy and a nice way to kill time, no doubt I'm hooked on this series for a while. END
Rating: Summary: Might and Magic 6: Mandate of Heaven Review: What a game! I've played ALOT of RPG's over the years, and this one ranks up there with the best. Terrific graphics, easy story line to follow, quests to complete and learn from, formidable foes to challenge your skills. Stay alert, because just when you thought you could rest and catch your breath, WHAM "where did that thing come from?" The CD for this game never comes out of my drive, I love it. You play at your speed, no pre-set time set or agenda. You go where you want to go, not where the game says you have to go next (ready or not). I strongly recommend this game to all skill levels. A true D&D type PC game.
Rating: Summary: The best role-playing game I've ever played Review: With so many games throwing eye-candy at you to disguise poor content, Might and Magic 6 is a refreshing change from the trend. I've been playing Role Playing games for years, from the "good ol' days" of pen and paper Dungeons and Dragons to the advanced possibilities of todays huge computer games. The graphics are adequate; it's the gameplay that will suck you in. With several character classes to choose from, the combinations for your party are staggering. Hundreds of quests make for hundreds of hours of gaming. Level advancement is swift, and the variety of skills you can learn really makes this a robust game. Quests get progressively harder as you advance in the game; stay on your toes! If you can only buy one game this year, this should be the one!
