well having finished wiz8 recently, i bought might and magic nine, looking for a continued role playing goodness.

but what i apparently purchaced was a big turd in a pretty blue box.
M&M9, despite bieng much more recent than wiz8, looks absolutely crap in comparison!

for starters:
the box contained 2 cds... in cheap paper covers! couldnt even give me a jewel case!
1 cardboard instruction manual. yep. thats it. the REAL manual was in PDF format... no nice manual like wiz8.
when in the game, you are stuck to 800x600 resolution.
graphics are 3d, but look crap. trees look fake, houses are very plain square cubes, bugger all shading, nothing like the nice stain glass windows in the monestary or the shiney floors in the arnika temple!
character creating is pretty limited. small range of skills.
paper doll avitars are crappy too. hell even the might and magic 6,7&8 ones are better!
and to top it off combat is feeble.

ouch!
within 1 hour i was back to wizardry 8, creating new characters!

warning to all RPG players out there.... AVOID might and magic 9!
