Dark Messiah of Might and Magic Elements (Xbox 360, 2008)

i like everything about the game,great quality,graphics,and story line.the price was great on ebay,and the game is hours of fun

This game is great, very long, good story line. 4 Different Players to choose from, so when you beat it, try it with someone else.

Demo seemed intuitive, at least like I could extract a few hours of enjoyment from it.
Sadly, there's no satisfaction.
Anyone who enjoyed oblivion STAY AWAY.
No depth, no substance, just a terrible idea.

I bought this game on a whim. While I've never gotten deeply into the Might and Magic series, the in-game screen shots looked pretty and fun so I went for this one. The controls have a learning curve and I have a gripe because you cannot change the control scheme on the Xbox 360 version. However once you get used to them (for me by the end of the first boss fight), the game becomes very fun. While the game plays a lot like Oblivion without the smooth and fine tuned controls, if you give it a chance you will be really surprised by how involving the story line becomes. You start off a young adventurer in the "practice" stage where you learn controls and get a feel for how the game plays. Once you pass that however, the story line erupts into a all-out onslaught with the first town you visit getting ravaged by a massive cyclops and his pesky impish undead minions. Before you know it you're a consoling the beautiful daughter of your aristocrat friend after he gets slain by one of these undead beasts, wiping the floor with an entire boat full of bad guys, seizing their ship and sailing to a remote island in search of a mystical treasure that will somehow save the world.

It all sounds cheesy but honestly, the game is a blast and the story line just keeps evolving with excellent character development and sweet cut scenes.

Game is definitely worth a rent and if you can get past the lousy controls, get it and enjoy the sweet story that unfolds in your hands.

Good game a little short though. It plays a lot like oblivion except it's more focused on the storyline than oblivion is though. It does have side quests to find items for those that like such things.

Pretty good game. Graphics and control are good. Gameplay is fun. Nothing ground breaking, but still a fun game.

I held off on this game until it had been reviewed thoroughly by many of the more reputable game sites. Having got the game at the new retail price of $29.99 was a good investment since that is all that it is worth. There are a ton of map glitches where your character can get caught up on and many of the character animations are just horrible. Having said that, the game is fun if you can set aside the problems and is definately worth playing. The enemies get very repetitive and the graphics are nothing to write home to mom about but all in all it is an average game. I have played alot of RPG'ish type games and I really cannot compare it to anything I have played in the past. If I had to give you a rough idea I would say a mixture of Two Worlds and Oblivion as in the game play with all of the problems of Two Worlds. If you haven't played Oblivion, pay the extra money and you will be a thousand times more satisfied.

Awesome game. It took a few days 4 me to beat. I usually beat a game in a day, this one took longer. Great game, exciting detail.

I bought this game because I love dungeon and dragon style games and this one had some really great screen shots. What I didn't like about the game is the way the game play is. You can't see your whole character, all you see is just the hands of them. It would have been nice to have a feature where you have the whole view of what your character looks like. Another thing that bothered me about the game is the writing/dialogue. The writing/dialogue is so small I can barely read it, and I don't know if there is a way to enlarge it. I haven't really played the game a whole lot yet so I really couldn't tell you what I like best about it yet. Overall, so far it is a good game with great graphics. I would recommend renting it through gamefly or a video store before buying.

this is so soso little first person sword shield type sortta rpg i like playing it online when there peeps to play with this game is old so not many online so gettin back to what iam saying this game has it troubles but when you start playing kicking sword fights and magic using the bow and arrow you will have a good time like i said online is the best part of this thrill fighting another player clangin sword freezing some one to beat them up is great the level are to me huge with many thing to see and many places to finish a opponet or ambush. in one game this guy was shooting arrows at the people below on a pillar on the roof of a castle and i walk up on him and kicked him off he died instanly to me this was funny and hearing him scream all the way down was a wow moment so to me rent this if you can but if you find it for a deal buy it

This is a great game for anyone, like myself that is really into RPG games. Great graphics and great story line.

I bought the game because I like role playing games. I like the graphics and story line but the game play, such as controlling the character, is awful compared to the 12 games I have on my PC and have played at least three times each. I will stick to buying role playing games for the PC and buy my grandchildren games for the XBOX.

this got old withing 10 min. At least when i got bored in Oblivion i could walk around and kill peaple, here, if you are caught doing anything illegal the game just fails you and loads a checkpoint. not very open-ended
