Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor for Windows

Pros: Solid fantasy RPG gaming...
Cons: ... with quite a few negatives

Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honour is another in the popular 3DO range of RPG games. The storyline starts off quite promisingly, with accounts from both Elves and Goblins of sea people bearing strange devices coming on land. To the ...

Pros: Interesting Story
Cons: Out of Date Graphics, Where is the sound-track anyway? Quests are simple

This was my first try at any of the games in the Might and Magic series. I was not sure what to expect, and because it was the first one I've tried, I can't compare it to any of the other games in the series. I have yet to buy Might and Magic 8, but I...

Pros: NIce Blast from the past with good music
Cons: Poor monster graphics

I am a seasoned veteran of Role Playing games on the computer having played many on an old Amiga (Such as the original Might and Magic series) and then many games such as Baldur’s Gate and Soulbringer on the PC.

Feeling nostalgic and seeing...

Pros: Great music & character screens, Arcomage sub-game is great!
Cons: Repetitious battles, poor graphics, and weak plot!

UPDATE 7/22/00 (SEE LAST TWO PARAGRAPHS!) What is D and F??....Disappointing and frustrating! I really should preface this review by telling you that I came into Might and Magic VII AFTER finishing Baldur's Gate and Tales of the Sword Coast....

Pros: Great story, character development, monster roster and Acromage.
Cons: Old graphics, very poor soundtrack.

A note to everybody who was disappointed with this game - had you played all the games in the series, you would have known what to expect. You would have known that Might and Magic comes in trilogies, which use the same engine. That means that the...

Pros: Minor improvements over M&M VI
Cons: Weak graphics and tedious game play

This is one of the few RPG games that I just got fed up with and finally deleted from my computer. When I bought the game I thought that there was supposed to be a marked improvement over M&M VI. Was I ever wrong. The graphics for M&M VII are...

Pros: Wonderful illustration on the game's box, Arcomage, soundtrack.
Cons: Everything else - and the store I bought it at didn't allow returns.

OK, I've split this review into two parts. Part 1 is the review as I originally wrote it. I really am not sure if I was drunk or suffering from sleep deprivation or what...I have no way to explain it, frankly. But here's the thing: even after I've sat...

Pros: Wonderous music, great graphics, perfect story, long playtime.
Cons: Slightly hard to get hardware support.

You wait, hiding in the bushes, then, he sees you. Red, glowing eyes, and a club in his hand, he lunges at you, in hopes of taking your belongings!

You pummel the goblin into the ground, and turn the tables upon him. This is much like Might...

Pros: Pretty graphics.
Cons: Repetitive

The Might and Magic series seems to go in evolutions.. The first ones used the same basic premise (Think Bard's Tale/Wizardry interface), even though it got considerably prettier as the series progressed. Then they switched to a more 3-D interface, with...

Pros: Excellent interface, storyline, gameplay
Cons: Skills system makes progress difficult

I have played all other M&M games and I did enjoy M&M7 quite a bit. It was a vast improvement over Might and Magic VI in playability. All keyboard controls were re-assignable, and several options were added to enhance game play, such as the...

Pros: Graphics performance, Arcomage subgame
Cons: Graphics quality, storyline, setting

Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor is the latest in a long series of Might and Magic titles that reach back to the heyday of 8-bit computer RPGs. I'm going to be honest and tell you that I wasn't a big fan of this series. They generally had an...

Pros: Same old Might and Magic
Cons: Poor AI .... and Same old Might and Magic

What should you look for in a role-playing computer game?
1) AI (artificial intelligence) of the game
2) Graphics
3) Storyline
4) Interface (graphical or hotkeys)
5) Character development

How do this fair with MM...

Pros: Highly addictive, great character development, continuity of the series
Cons: Still has a flawed engine, futuristic aspects that don't fit the game, could use a little more thinking and less mindless slashing

I'm a long time fan of the M&M series. I have my complaints also, but I guess that's normal for anything.

This, like the others in the series, is a highly addictive game. It doesn't take as long to finish as its predecessor, M&M6. If...

Pros: Good Plot, new options, good music,months of fun and excellent gameplay
Cons: Jumpy graphics

When MM7 came out i was so excited, because i am an MM series fan. I rushed to the computer store and bought it. I came home and started playing immediately, but not before i saw the intro which was amazing. I made a party that had everything but...

Pros: Adequate graphics, good character system, fun
Cons: Might and Magic 6 already had all this

The answer to the question posed by my title, and probably by most prospective buyers: not much. Go read my review of Might & Magic 6, as basically all the same things are true of this game. If, like me, Might and Magic 6 was a lot of fun for you,...
