I was such a huge fan of the whole M&M series. The Heroes of M&M are still some of my favorites, and while I loved M&M early on (especially the ultimate Xeen combo, 4&5 together), I lost some interest after 7-8-9-10 added little to the amazing \'3D\' world that 6 provided for us. I keep hoping they\'ll rejuvinate the series with a back-to-basics approach. I love the graphics and eye candy, but get that great old style party system and simple equipment, combat system going. Throw in a compelling storyline without millions of little \'nothing\' quests, and get rid of all the frigging red-herring items and quests they\'ve added to the game and this might just be a game worth getting.
