Hi there!
Ah, this sure looks miles better than the first Might & Magic:
Good to see that New World computing did their homeworks in the art department. There's only one year between the first two games of the series, but the difference is amazing.
This entry in the "Playing..." series nails another two firsts: This is not only the first time ever I'm playing a real sequel to a game featured previously, but it's also the first Super Nintendo game.
I've been jumping a bit into the cold water with this one, since unlike usually with such complex RPGs, I did not read the manual first. I thought after playing the first game already and with the controller being limited to just four buttons I should be able to handle it on my own
So far this first night has been good. Just as with the first game, I expectedly spent the time almost exclusively with "staying alive" and levelling up my characters, so now they can move some squares around without dying.
The graphics are superb and so is the audio. The controls are smooth and not overly complex or tedious, so I think it's safe to say that trying the SNES version was a very good idea. In case you've been wondering about the screenshot above, yes, there's indeed a german translation available
Wish me luck when I'm descending into the first dungeon tomorrow...
Greetings,
Manuel
