Zelif: If I can, I would have to reccomend staying clear of it. It was made when ubisoft took over and they pretty much butchered it. The controlls are bad graphics were no where near as looked after as in the 3 before it(they ran on the same engine) and the amount of bugs really was a right old pain. 1st movie clip would get stuck.... certain quests bugged out.
M&M X (or shall I say Dark Messiah) Would be a better pick but still didnt give the same feel as the older ones gave.
reaver894: /me agree's with this 100%
Heh, I never would have guessed my pick would be so controversial. :)
I received MM6 about 10 years ago and never had the chance to play it to completion, but I enjoyed every bit of it and have it installed to start playing it again. Since then, I have wanted to grab up all of the MM games, but it does become a matter of "how completist are you willing to be?" when one of games in the series sucks so badly (I have also checked out other reviews since posting my guess). Your warnings have been received, so at least it'll be a more informed decision.
Dark Messiah is another I would like to see on here, but I'll let my current guess stand.
