When Might and Magic 6 came out a year ago, its graphics were generally dismissed as being dated but serviceable. No, I'm kidding. In fact, the graphics haven't changed at all. And what was dated but excusable a year ago is downright, inexcusably ugly now. Mountains magically appear out of thin air.
Buildings turn into masses of unrecognizable pixels at close range.
Monsters and NPCs alike are uninspiringly two-dimensional sprites. Other than that, Direct3D mode is actually inferior to software mode in most respects. Perhaps this explains their foul temperament. MM7 is not one of these games. No, MM7's plot seems more like the product of a very bizarre third grader's hyperactive imagination.
