Smaller in area and tighter in design than MM6 makes this a better experience overall. the Skil system is revamped and balanced better. The dungeons are more logical but less big. The addition of the card game is a neat diversion as well. Overall another MM game that can offers more character development and strategy than most crpgs released these days. Also the story can be played as good and evil with fighting factions. A perfect hack n slash first person party crpg... probably the best of its type (before Wizardry 8!)
