Might and Magic 7 - Review

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 9 / 10

The 7th installment of Might and Magic continues the TRUE RPG that Might and Magic was in the previous games. No the 3D grapics are not like the Newest programs, but for a good Role Playing game this is one of the better ones. No need to spend big dollars on a Pentium III, it plays fine on a Pentium 200, or AMD or Cyrix CPU. I personally prefer the first-person grapics of this type of game over the top down smaller characters in some other games. In this game you play as multiple characters, and can have others join your party, not a Single character as in some games. This game also has turn based play, which is prefered by previous players of the other Might and Magic games. IF you want total real time game play buy an ACTION game, RPG's in my opinion require turn-based play to be enjoyed properly. Total Action games might as well be played on CONSOLE machines(Playstation, N64,etc.) , otherwise you are not using any of the features available on a PC system. I hope 3DO continues to write games like Might and Magic 7.

Obsessively finished it and immediately started replaying it

It is similar in many ways to MM 6, but I loved MM 6. Character class development really matters in this game, and I found enough variety in trying to survive various battles that I didn't just sit and click the mouse through every fight.

I played this game on windows 98, and (as the other reviewers said) it was a wonderful game. Unfortunately, the following is very important:

IT IS NOT SUPPORTED BY WINDOWS XP. Some have had succcess getting it to work many cannot. Including myself (sadly).

Other then that, i highly reccomend this game.

My version of the game of the year

This is the best game I have ever played. Right when I played the game it became my new favorite. In story line I give it a 5 out of 5. You start out on an island for a contest that Lord Markham has put together. Graphics gets a 4.5 out of 5. The graphics are more like being into a live picture. The only thing I don't like about the graphics is you can't see your characters.
Overall this game is worth your precious time. BUY IT!!!!

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.

Another Great One

I've always loved the Might & Magic series and this one is no exception. I love first person, turn-based-party games. I have been dumb enough to periodically waste money on some of the various third person games out there like Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights, but I hate third person and cannot get into it at all. Might & Magic does not have that problem.

This game, along with MM-6 and MM-8 are pretty much in the same format with a few tweaks. That is fine with me. I have become so engrossed it them that I have played all three of them at least three times each. There is no other game that even comes close.

Despite the crudeness factor, I love the graphics. The spell system is just right, and I don't mind all the monster bashing. The story kept me engaged each time I played, even knowing the outcome the second and third time around.

I just wish someone would continue the series in the same format with maybe 3-D graphics but the same game play and all the rest. I give a hats off to the Might & Magic Tribute people who are doing it on their own, since no company seems interested in doing it.

Highly recommended.

5 stars for the music alone! Incredible compositions!

I really only played this game for 4-5 hours back when I first bought it years and years ago. Ever since then, I've kept the 2nd CD handy for my listening pleasure. It's great to sleep to, great to relax to when you're doing anything from chillin' out to working on the computer, etc. It's very, very well-composed. It blends so many various musical elements that I haven't heard blended as such before. So many themes can be heard throughout... elements of Irish, Scottish, classical/baroque, and just full-on ambience with the use of voices and many, many instruments. One of my favorite tunes on here starts with a very intriguingly haunting chromatic piano part with overlayed violin and cello's coming in with a beautiful minor progression that sounds like it shouldn't fit but absolutely does. The result is a disorientingly beautiful piece of music that builds into a grand change fit for a great movie (ala Braveheart).

An audiophile will hear that the instruments are obviously synth-created but the samples sound great and real enough to more than get the job done. This is great music to get lost in. There's depth to the compositions and many layers to pick out during any given passage most of the time. The usage of the instruments isn't repetitive, either. Sometimes, the drums have a very wet reverb applied to them and certain instruments sound as though they're recorded dynamically with different mic positions in different rooms.

So... from what little I played the game, it was fun but the 5 star rating comes from me rating this game SOLELY on the listening enjoyment of the music! I've had this game for somewhere from 8-10 years if I'm not mistaking and even at this very moment, I'm enjoying the music even MORE than I have before. Definitely worth it just for the music alone!

Good storyline, Too many monsters. 3.5 stars indeed

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.)

Best of Hack 'n Slash

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.
