Might and Magic 7 - for Blood and Honour (PC)

Might and Magic VII is another fantastic RPG game from 3do. Which is quite similar to the last in the fact you have to go through the world of Erathia and complete quests which promote you and give you a better chance at completing the game. When I first got this I was a bit hesitant as I thought it would be just like Might and Magic VI, but I was supprised to find it wasn't. Although the inital character set up is similar, it requires alot more skill to pick the right players according to race and ability. Once you have sorted that out though you are put on to an island where you have to complete the first quest in order to carry on with the rest of the game. ...  Read the complete review

Might and magic VII is one the most involving games I have ever played. Yet it does have its problems. Firstly the graphics for the game are seriously outdated. The 3D world is indeed 3D yet the surface mapping and textures are down right disgraceful. The characters you interact with are also very dissapointing since they have flat featureless bodies that make it hard to distinguish between vital characters and simple NPCs. As a result the game length is extended as you try to find that damn carachter wandering about a town with a damn quest item. However the actual game play is extremely enjoyable, I found the ability to choose allegiances during the game ...  Read the complete review

I know Might and magic VII has received many bad reviews the wrong side of 50% from various magazines but I have to say I find it to be one of the best games i have ever played. Yes the graphics are not wonderful and the complicated combat and control system takes a while to get used to, but once you have mastered this all it is one of the most rewarding games ever. You have a lot of freedom from choosing your characters, voices and statistics to your actions and allegience later on and throughout the game. There is so much to do on this made up world that to find all the treasures, complete all the quests and to work through all possibilities and ...  Read the complete review

For starters, it's not really what I expected it to be. However it's still a lot of fun, when you don't mind blurry sprites, boring oneliners (goodday a.s.o.) or obscure quests. A lot therefor depends on your own imagination and learning pace. Of course, don't expect to play the game untill the end if you are not familiar with the thought behind the games (though I never did figure it out myself!). You might end up getting frustrated, needing to go back to places you have already been before. So first try to check the area you are in and then decide what to do next. This may increase your gaming pace and your pleasure. Despite all the graphical lacking in ...  Read the complete review
