It's like this: each M&M since about number III has had to shrink still smaller and leave out still more of what gave the M&M games their special savor (particularly the uproarious sense of humor), just to finally get out the door. The last "big" M&M was VI, and it was such a change from what went before that the oldtimers of M&M players never did accept it.
New World Computing has been concentrating on their Heroes of M&M strategy games, set in the M&M environment, and selling a lot more product of that type. M&M IX is the smallest, least funny, least MM-like, of the last four NWC CRPG's. And it has both a number of bugs and some poor design choices in the interface that make it difficult to do some things.
The patch doesn't cure everything, but does fix some game-stopper problems. Is it worth $40? Yes, probably. But not to the same extent that made Wiz8 be worth $50. Also like Wiz, this M&M is most likely the last in the line.
