DailyRadar\'s reviewer gave this game a HIT.That means it scores around 7.5 to 8. I like the character animation after watching the gameplay movies...plus the collecting weapons and armor and upgrading skills(medieval look)style of play.

But IGN gave this game a FAILURE 5.0....why is there such discrepancy??

Everything is being delayed...so don\'t sweat it. I don\'t know everything is being delayed so much. Gran Turismo is having massive delay time, but if they need that to make it awesome, they can go ahead...:)

Didn\'t this game already come out on PS1?  And didn\'t it suck?  That\'s probably why it got a low review.

Well here is another guy who likes this game.He gave it 7.3.That makes it 2 reviewers now, the other from DailyRadar who gave it a hit.
____________________________________________________________________________________

I know it’s a cliche’ but, you either love this one, or hate it. In order to fully appreciate Warriors of Might and Magic (WMM), you’ll have had to have been a fan since the series’ debut on the Panasonic 3DO Multiplayer. This game is intended for existing fans.

The game starts somewhat abruptly, with little back story except that the protagonist is being tried for necromancy, and he’s strapped above a pit (I’m reminded of Ash’s situation in Evil Dead 2.). After falling into the pit, you have to maneuver your way to the ‘above ground’. This is where the game really begins. As you play you’ll uncover more and more of the unfolding story. This game is very plot oriented.

Among the existing fan base, WMM should also appeal to the likes of Summoner fans looking to milk a little more RPG glory from their PS2s. WMM is very analogous to Summoner in most respects. Perhaps the game’s greatest feat is it’s length. This will keep even the most weathered RPG gamers occupied for a few weeks, at least.

The voice acting is a bit on the poor side, and the sound effects are weak, but the graphics are nice and sharp, though a bit choppy at times, but this is a minor problem. The game’s biggest problem is with it’s control configuration. It takes some time getting used to. After about thirty minutes or so you should have the hang of it. It’s really not that difficult, but newbies of the series will complain.

The character designs are top notch, from the slithering blobs in the sewer levels, to the flesh eating zombies in the cellar levels, to the ghosts that inhabit the underground. When the hero puts on new clothes, they show up on the 3D model, as in Summoner. As you play through the game you’ll unlock new quests that you can complete at your leisure, as in Summoner. As you progress, you’ll meet many new people, many who may join your party, if only temporarily, as in Summoner.

Quite possibly the best part of this game is the gameplay. Any fan of the
