You knew it was coming... favorite M&M game!
Now, who didn't expect this after the HoMM poll
It would be interesting to know how many people here played them all... I only played MM6, MM7 and MM8 (barely started MM8 at that)
I was unsure at first, but have to give the edge to MM7.... I'm replaying MM6 right now and although those dungeons are nice and complex, it just feels too damn tedious to spend hours clearing out room after room after room of legions of identical monsters.
I added Dark Messiah just for the heck of it.

Personally I wouldn't count DM as a Might and Magic game either, seeing as it's action rather than an RPG.
Other than that, this is tough. A few years ago, I would have said MMVIII hands down, but I've replayed it (and VI, and VII) and it doesn't replay as well as VII does. I'll have to think about it.

MM7
MM6 may have better dungeons, larger world, better plot but it has flaws - no balance between classes, skils and spells. Also too many enemies in dungeons - it takes longer to clear these huge labyrinths. Also, MM6 don't have invisibility spell.
Second is MM3 and 6 - large and difficult dungeons, good plot, interesting world.
Next are MM4-5 (connecting between two sides of one world and also sky world above one of them), MM8 (races, races skills and artifacts and also elemental planes) and at the end - MM9.
I didn't play MM1-2 or DM.

Clearly, Gaidal Cain admits his first MM game was MM8 … and if he hasn't yet played the other MM games, then for him, MM8 would have to be the best.Secret_Holder wrote:I'm surprised that some think MMVIII is the best.
I thought it was way too short and way to unbalanced (dragons anyone?)

There's quite a difference between "first" and "only", but yes, if I had started with an earlier game, I'd likely had preferred them. In a similar manner, my second favorite Heroes game is H2, even though I've only played very little of it apart from the demo, only because it was my first and I had som much fun with it.HodgePodge wrote:Clearly, Gaidal Cain admits his first MM game was MM8 … and if he hasn't yet played the other MM games, then for him, MM8 would have to be the best.

Hiya folks.
I have completed MM 4 and MM 6. I am in the middle of MM 7 and I love it. I think it has the best story and the limits on skills (+GM level) make it more replayable.
While I think the dungeons in MM 6 were better I have little desire to replay the game after beating it once. I also lost interest around the time I got lloyd's beacon, because it was so easy to get away from danger, but I did want to finish the game.
MM 4 was definitely fun but I got tired of it and didn't feel like finishing 5.
Edit: voted 7. After that I'll play 9 but it sounds like I won't be changing my vote.

I voted for VII, but it was close with VI.
I played MMI-III back in the black & green monitor days of the 80's. I loved them, but don't remember them too well.
Never played IV or V.
I enjoyed VIII and IX (hated the graphics of IX).
But I have spent more time playing and replaying VII than I have spent on all the others combined.
I just got another copy of VIII, so maybe that'll change.
