I be a big fan of m&m; 6 and 7 -lrb- and all the previous one -rrb- , but it become painfully obvious after 2 minute game time that New World make zero effort to make a new game . simply put , this be m7m7 with a few new , and frankly annoying , new change .  the first change involve the idea of the entire party sprout from one central character -lrb- but not do as well as Baldur 's gate -rrb- . this be marginally interesting .  the second difference be the new character class . the Vampire , Dragon , dark Elf , and Troll be add . now whoever though that the Vampire should replace the paladin -lrb- the fighter\/cleric motif -rrb- must have be high . the one tolerable part of this idea be the new spell specific to each race . frankly , though , its less than wonderful .  the aus seem to have improve slightly , though its weird that walk on a certain point guarantee that Pirates will appear from nowhere and attack . also , the storyline seem a bit more cohesive .  all and all its a decent game -lrb- purely due to its have use such a good base design -lrb- aka mm6 -rrb- . frankly , the designer should look at the original Might and Magic -lrb- still the best of the series -rrb- , and try develop a game with a bit more think and a bit less formulum .  it be worth buying , but do not expect anything new or wonderful .
