Summary

CRPG fun in its purest form, but nothing else...

The Good

Fun gameplay, good story, multiple game sructure and endings, well done cutscenes, good light humor, fantastic music... and well, the best game concept to deliver endless CRPG fun in all the quests through the game, never in another game you will feel so much fun in leveling up (just some more skill points... ;) and a toned down difficulty for the enjoyment of a wider gamer society.

The Bad

outdated graphics, dull sound effects, ridiculuous AI (but it can be counted as a good thing as it tones down the difficulty), supposed 3D-acceleration support is plain bad and essentially the same as Might and Magic 6... the toned down difficulty may displease some hardcore CRPG fans...

The Bottom Line

Simply the best game in delivering the most CRPG fun to hardcore CRPG fans and casual players alike. The multiple paths you can take in the game add in some variety and replayability, and its low difficulty won't frustrate the gamer. However, this game is essentially the same as Might and Magic 6 except a new (and very interesting) plot and some minor improvements. Overall a good game to enjoy and lots of fun but definitely not a classical...
