4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of original gameplay for your buck, October 26, 2006
By 
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Dark Messiah of Might & Magic (DVD-ROM)
So far I love this game. I played the single-player demo over and over, constantly finding new ways to dispatch the orcs. Do I snipe them with my bow? Do I kick them off the ledge? Do I stealth-kill them? Do I throw oil near them and light them on fire with a flaming arrow? Do I kick them into spikes? Do I cut the rope holding the pile of logs and let them get bashed? Do I bash their heads with barrels and boxes? Do I melee them with my sword? Do I freeze and shatter them? And honestly, there are still more ways just in that one area.

And now I'm playing through the full version.

Arkane has finally broken through the "FPSes can't have good melee combat" barrier. The way they integrate the combat, the physics, and the environment makes this game a lot of fun. The RPG elements add to this as well, giving your character a lot of customizability.

So far only two things have annoyed me: the bald wizard dude's voice acting, and the slow-down experienced on my pretty decent computer. I never expereinced slow-down like this in any area of Half-Life 2. The first real level, with the cyclops attacking, made my computer slow into a slideshow several times. I have all their "recommended" requirements other than a 256mb video card. I have a 3.2gHz processor, I have a gig of DDR2 RAM, and I have a 6600GT 128mb video card. It's the Source engine. I think it should run better than that. I guess I'll have to lower my settings.

I didn't experience any of the problems that the 0 star guy below did. I have no idea why he had such problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great, absorbing, and FUN game, November 5, 2006
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Dark Messiah of Might & Magic (DVD-ROM)
If this were a game forum, I'd note these short reviews and pass on by. But on an open SALES forum like this, I feel compelled to give my impressions of Dark Messiah--impressions which are quite different than the others posted here.

I too have played every single Might & Magic game that was released over the years (all the way back to the original M&M) and every Heroes of Might & Magic (including the recent HOMM 5). That Dark Messiah doesn't live up to Jon Van Caneghem's original vision strikes me as an over simplistic and erroneous judgment. I will agree that if you're looking for a continuation of New World Computing's M&M flavor (no pun intended), in my opinion that hasn't been around since Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven was released in 1998, and some would argue since 3DO acquired New World Computing in 1996.

I think Dark Messiah dovetails well enough with the M&M world and lore--which is plenty big enough to draw from--but far more importantly that it holds up very well as an exceptional game in its own right. In other words, that it is FUN. Graphically, Dark Messiah is gorgeous, it sounds marvelous (despite some occasionally less than spectacular voice acting), and the story and immersion-factor are superb. Dark Messiah is certainly an action game first and an RPG second (a distant second), but if you enjoyed such FPS/RPG hybrids as System Shock and System Shock 2, the Thief series, Deus Ex, etc., I can't imagine your being unsatisfied with Dark Messiah. It's got loads of action, personality, style, and fun.

As for bugs: I've seen the large number of problems that some people have had with Dark Messiah not running or not running well on their machines. I have certainly had that experience over the years with many other games too, but not with Dark Messiah. For me it has played flawless for about 15 hours now. The graphics are smooth, the sound is excellent and without stuttering, and I haven't encountered one crash or even a slowdown yet. If you're concerned about Dark Messiah working on your PC, you may want to wait for the patches to arrive. But as for myself and a good many others, I can tell you with confidence that from where I sit Dark Messiah is a smashing success.
