While admittedly beginning to look a little dated, this is nevertheless a worthwhile game from the Might&Magic series for all fans like myself who love them. Innovations include a five character party you can change around at will, each with their own skills and levels, so even if you are at a low level it is possible to "recruit" higher level characters quite early on should you wish to. With more than enough turnbased fighting and quests to occupy you for a good while, the in-game game of Archomage which you can play at the taverns for fun or complete as a quest if you win at all the taverns, proved surprisingly addictive. If you like MMVI and MMVII then this is definitely the game for you, more of the same, but still different enough to be interesting. Due to all the different characters available you will probably also enjoying replaying the game several times with different parties.
