The best role-playing game I've ever played

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!

Could have been better.

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.

Excellent Value

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.

A Nice Time Killer

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

Awesome RPG

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.

An awsome game

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.

An Outstanding Game

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!

Impressive Improvement

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.

Excellent game! Great Value!

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.

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.
