Dark Messiah of Might and Magic Preview

GameSpot has posted yet another hands-on preview of Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, this time focusing on a section of the game called The Dead Man’s Trail.

The Dead Man’s Trail portion of the level kicks in after you’ve reached Menelag. It turns out that the bad guys got there first, and you arrive in time to see him take a mortal blow. Even worse, a ghoul grabs the crystal and jumps out of a window, and the chase is on. The Dead Man’s Trail isn’t a proper trail; rather, it’s the pursuit of the ghoul across the rooftops of Stonehelm. The goal is simple: Catch the ghoul before he can escape. However, this isn’t quite so easy, as the nimble ghoul leaps from rooftop to rooftop, forcing you to do the same. Sometimes you’ll have to quickly analyze the environment to figure out where to go next.
