Dark Messiah: Might and Magic

Hey there

So I bought this game about a year ago and have had it laying around, I've never properly played the game and am currently installing it. Is it a good game? As the reviews all seem to be pretty mixed, some giving positive and others giving relatively negative reviews. Has anyone here played it? And what did you think of it? The multi-player aspect sounds pretty good, so I'm looking forward to trying that out.

Thanks.

I thought it was a really good game. The combat system basically killed my oblivion experience as it's far superior. I can't really comment on the magic side of things because I've always played the sword dude. It's just action-packed, head-chopping goodness!

The multiplayer is alright. I played it for a couple of days then my interest went elsewhere. I think the single player experience is better.

Like sniffy says, fantastic head chopping fun.

Definitely not worth missing out on.

i loved the single player of this game well worth playing, the combat is a lot more fun than playing oblivion, it also dragged me away from oblivion. Well worth it.

Game was a lot of fun from what i played, but after a while the game went **** up on me, stopped loading, and even when i was lucky enough to get it to load the performance wasnt as it once was, which was a shame

Definitely good fun, MP not so much, all the great things about the SP are not in the MP. Oh and also; worst ending ever.

In my top ten of recent games that I've enjoyed playing.

Yeah great sword combat, wish more rpg's copied the combat. The magic was OK but the swords was where it was at. Could even go stealth and that wasn't all that bad neither.

It's fantastic when you pull of a multi enemy combo, at one point I remember cutting an orcs head of, as I turned his two mates were going up some stairs to take me on, I kicked the first guy who tumbled down the stairs and he then knocked into the other dude. I followed them down the stairs as they tumbled together and then plunged my sword into both of their chests as they recovered from the fall.

Only bad thing is when I re-install the game to play it recently it was constantly stuttering and no matter what I did I couldn't solve the problem. Oh well, still good times when it worked.

Think that's a dual core bug, might need the AMD CPU driver.
