Dark Messiah of Might and Magic (Xbox 360)

I've never been a massive fan of the 'Might and Magic' series of RPGs. It's a series that has produced a considerable amount of duff games, yet it's just kept on going, desperately trying to get it right. Well, I didn't think I'd say this but, by god, I think this may be the one. A first person fantasy RPG, first comparisons will inevitably be towards the classic Oblivion, with its incredible graphics, limitless open world, huge scope for character customisation... and rather clunky gameplay/combat, but we were able to forgive that in light of all the other fantastic revolutionary elements.

I quite liked this game. The demo on Xbox Live is a little misleading, seeing as though the layout of that particular level is different, the power ups are different, and the Rope Bow was scrapped completely.

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements Developer: Arkane Stuios Publisher: Ubisoft Rated 15 I was a fan of oblivion and was told that this game was very much like it but it had a better combat system, and after seeing my friend playing it on his pc a while ago I decided to rent it on the Xbox 360. The single player campaign sees you playing as a young man named Sareth and lets you choose from warrior, archer, mage, and assassin character classes where you must play through the nine story chapters. It sounds like a fair amount to play but they are mostly brief and the game took me about 8 hours to complete, ...  Read the complete review
