Might and Magic II: Gates to Another World


Genre: rpg - dungeon

Publisher: Electronic Arts

Year: 1991

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

On screen map is super helpful, but would be nice if it showed you where you've been. Same old turn-based dungeon crawler formula. At least this one doesn't use the awful mouse cursor like some of the SNES titles. Good for this sort of game, but I cannot stand dungeon crawlers. Get away from me.


Level Design Score: 0

Level Design Notes:

There's a design? It's just an endless hallway with random battles. No thanks.


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

Has a tiny bit of personality in the NPCs and enemies, but your party don't even get mug shots. As bland as can be.


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

No animation other than the enemy sprites. Looks pretty good for this sort of game.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

Music is someone going nuts on a harpsichord. I didn't mind it for a couple of minutes but then it got on every one of my nerves. Sounds are way too loud and mostly just sound like dropping a big box on a hard surface. Nothing special or interesting. I think I'd prefer silence.


Overall Score: 17

Review ID: 1074
