Its not good, if you are going to play it you are required to download the fan patches or you won't even be able to complete the game.

It's kinda playable with the patch, but it's certainly not good. If you are really starved for this kind of game, why not?
I bought it at release (just lol@me), quickly gave up when it turned out to be complete garbage, then revisited it later with some fan patches and almost finished it (stopped before the last dungeon). I actually had some fun the second time around, but the game is certainly nothing to write home about. I would not spend more than $5 for it.

I finished it right without any patches, so its possible, but man it was kinda... missing things.

It's not that bad. Ugly, certainly. Not as good as the other M&M games, sure. But definitely enjoyable anyway if you like M&M-like blobbers, let's not be over-elitist. Its main fault is being a poor M&M game, not a poor game.
Also, while the game is not as good as the others in the series, I still liked its magic system better. Having each spell being built out of two or three different magic schools is the way to go for me. Clerics, for instance, still make for the best healers by far, but wizards can now heal a bit too. It's not game changing in any way but it's really nice.

Well the patches make the game playable? I mean i don't know what to say. There are a few points within the game where the game can just stop and you might not be able to progress the main story.
Some items, dialogue and even spells don't work the way they should.
There are also some things that can crash that have somewhat been fixed in the fan patch (maybe some script errors in the background?)
Its been a while since i played it. So i can't remember all the details.

I played up to the 2nd act while ago and don't recall encountering any bugs. Honestly playing the game just made we want to play the old school M&Ms. LOL

What to like,there was no real exploration,the game was far too balanced,you never felt that you actually gained any power over some enemies. You had to clean everything to keep up with the levels,also fuck that xp system(uncontentious = no xp). The world was small and it wasn't MM world,it was some new HoMM shit. The whole battle system was centred around drinking potions while the other games you could never touch a potions. I really hate using potions in games,the only potion that i ever used in BG was the the one for extra int so i could get all the spells in my spellbook. In MM i use only perma stats potions.

I finished it without any issues! Really liked it. Not the best in the series (obviously), but enough spins on the classic formula to make it interesting.

So MM9 which is pra-alpha at best and had to be fixed by modders is far better then 10, which was playable from the box?
I am considered one of the top-4 Might and Magic fans here, but even i thinks that 10 is way better then 9 in this regard.
