There are only a handful of games I'd give a 5-star rating. Might and Magic VI and VII are two of these. Excellent story, non-liniar progression and interesting skill-based combat make for an interesting game. The graphics are obviously rather out-dated nowadays, but that definitely doesn't stop me enjoying the game on its own merits every now and then.

If you're keen to try an old-school free-roaming RPG, I really couldn't rate this game higher. The Mandate of Heaven is top-notch too, if you can get your hands on it.

All of Might and Magic's later games are one and the same with slightly different plot-lines that always come back to the tried and true, sellout, rehashed “Saver of Universe” deal. It's an okay game which oddly enough I was very drawn into. It leaves you yearning to complete it despite any detracting factors.

Fantastic time-killer when I was younger but I will say that it doesn't quite stand up against the many other/better RPGs these days. So if you're on a bit of a nostalgic trip, try this out. You may like, you may not. It's a love hate chance with this game. And if you do like it, you'll definitely enjoy it's predecessors, if you've got the patience to stand a little monotony.
