Review: Dark Messiah Might and Magic Demo

Hello fellow gamers,
This demo has taken me down a journey that I never thought could possibly happen this close to a games release. After downloading this "demo" that is roughly 1.4 gig I installed it just so I can see an error! I downloaded the demo again from a different place just to make sure there was nothing corrupt and yep you guessed it I still got an error!!

I was able to find the culprit that is causing this error and to fix it deals with the following procedures.. right click on the shortcut, go under compatibility tab, then click on disable visual themes. Click apply, then ok, done! Game runs without a hitch now. This will happen to a lot of people who are using AMD 64 bit processors. Since AMD has been the king for awhile now you think that they would've had this fixed already doncha think??? Now on with the review...

Pros
1. Graphics and Source engine looks very nice
2. Cutting off an Orcs head is always fun
3. The hud display is nice and easy to navigate through
4. I got it to run:)


Cons
1. When you have to tweak a demo just to run the latest Cpu's you know you got problems!
2. I would love to just squash the ssssttttuuutttteerrrinnnnggg audio bug in the source engine. Why is this thing not fixed already??????? wtf???? I have been through 2 audio cards and this ffff@@@@@king thing is still herrrreee!
3. If you thought that Quake 4 A.I. was bad the strogg are Rocket scientists compared to what you will see in this game. I had an orc turn his back to me in a middle of a fight which I just slapped him silly!
4. I got to fight the Cyclops and I was bored
5. I put 70 hours into Elders Scroll Oblivion but I would be lucky to put in 70 minutes with this one.
6. Anyone who says this game is better than Oblivion needs to go for a blood test because I would have to question your intelligence so much that you could be a father to these orcs in the game:)
7. I would advise UbiSoft to hold off on bringing this out in October because if they do it is destined for the bargain bin. Save your money people!!!

until next time...
