Simply one of the best RPG's ever
Though this was designed for Win98 like 10 years ago, it ranks way higher than 95% of the RPG's available nowadays.
The graphics nowadays would be considered low-end, but the gameplay is so smooth that you can't really see any other way they could make the monsters look without damaging the amazing smoothness. Gameplay - 10 stars. Smooth, well rendered playing style and your choice of turn-based or live action mode means you can play this game in any mood, whether you feel like planning an ambush of sparks for unwilling victims, or charging around around unloading meteor showers is your choice. The quests can sometimes be very difficult regardless of what equipment you have and will require some thinking to finish them. There is a nice array of spells to play with with different classes gaining access to different spells. The combat is quite fun and has edge-of-your-seat style enemies who sometimes decide to surprise you in many ways that will always keep you somewhat 'paranoid'.
There are other things like being able to fly, walk on water (useless if u ask me), teleport and all the other nigglies that RPGs should have. Also you can have little NPCs follow you around that can give you stat bonuses, more gold etc etc.The thing I enjoyed most is trying to find all the best weapons and gear when you kill a monster (My P4 reloads save files in 2 seconds, meaning it was very easy to get the best gear) but I wouldnt suggest doing that as it ruins the atmosphere of the game - just pretend you are playing the game on a crappy P2 and loading takes forever so you couldn't be a$$ed doing this trick.
Graphics - Well, 10 years ago I would have given this maybe a 9 or 10, but times change and so do graphics/graphics cards, so I would rate them quite low. BUT, who cares? I would rather play most of the old NES games like KungFu or RC-ProAM than most of the games out now simply because of their amazing playability and Might and Magic VI definitely has a lot of that.
Sound - Well rounded tunes and sounds like the battle 'DERNER!!!" which reminds me of something out of a horror film.
Value - 10/10, 5 stars, 100% ... whatever you can possibly have as the highest vaule possible. I reinstalled this game a few weeks ago and felt absolutely obligated to write a review on how good it is. Buy this if you can or find it somewhere (you know what i mean), do whatever you can to get this game because it is PERFECT.
