Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven User Review
For a game that was designed for Win98, this is STILL a fav. All RPGers should have this game in their collection.

I have to admit that even after all these years, the MIGHT & MAGIC series has yet to disappoint me. What's even more interesting is that the SNES and Genesis versions of the earlier games were very done and well designed. This version, however, is far more complex than the other older ones, but still keeps to the original principals of the original title and series.
GRAPHICS
=========
The graphics, compaired to todays gaming, is not the best, but keep in mind this game was made back during the WIN95/98 days. It has a nice collection of 3D environments and buildings with 2D sprites. To me the graphics could have been made a little better, but hey, I still will not complain totally about it. This is not the best part of the game.
CONTROL
=========
If you are a first time RPGer and you want a game that works great, even on an XP machine, then this is one of the first games to try out. The controls are very simple to know and doesn't require a lot of time to know them. Most of the enterface is done with the mouse while the movement is done with the arrow keys. When you attack, you just click on the monster when you are close enough or if you have equipped bows.
OVERALL
========
My only pet peeve about this game is that your long-range attacks are very limited. Even if you can see the monster, you can't seem to reach them unless you are close enough for the AI monsters to see you. Plus, this game does have a few bugs that I have noticed, but nothing a little "SAVE OFTEN" tip can't cure. If you still only have a WIN98 system and you want an RPG game that really rocks, then this is a game you should get. It's really worth the buy. Adventures await those who want it.
