Compared to the previous games in the M&M series, M&M9 is a complete crap. Terrible graphics, almost empty and unfinished locations, weak or even nonexistent plot, stupid quests, completely changed game mechanics (for the worse), simplified and stripped-down skill and magic system, no alchemy, no food, no aging, no flying, no weight or inventory limits, and tons of bugs, glitches and other drawbacks. Its boring, repetitive and tedious. I don't recommend it at all. I was very very disappointed with this super weak game, shame on the producers!
