In all seriousness, this was the only King's Quest game I enjoyed. It may be awful for series purists, but this game was not unfair at all. I had lots of fun just exploring. In fact, top Sierra bod Ken Williams has publicly admitted that people don't want point-and-click adventures anymore, they want Tomb Raider, they want Quake, they want games in which you blow things up and where the most taxing puzzling element you'll come across is activating a switch by shooting at it with an enormous gun.
Hence Sierra's complete change in approach to the latest episode in their long-running King's Quest series. The 'cutesy' element inherent in the series so far which has charmed some, and reduced others to lengthy puke-orama sessions, has more or less disappeared completely. The new lead character Connor is a far more believable hero and his approach to puzzle-solving is to 'get physical' with his environment by twonking things with the various weapons at his disposal in order to trigger events elsewhere.
It's not entirely dissimilar to the Zelda games on Super Nintendo, except obviously in glorious 3D.

KQ8 for its part is an action-based adventure game with minor RPG elements. I've got to say at this point that I had this game presented to me when I visited Sierra in Seattle. Roberta Williams was there. If you don't know who Roberta Williams is you've either never played a Sierra adventure game in your life, or you've just been born.

The King's Quest Wiki tells many sad stories concerning the eighth entry in the series, including the reason for the lack of a Roman numeral - Roberta Williams didn't want people to associate this travesty with the earlier, good games in the series. Okay, I paraphrase, but the fact remains that this game isn't very good, and Sierra knew it.
It abandons everything that the King's Quest series had - interesting stories, challenging puzzles, and the beloved main characters of the royal family of Daventry. Instead, Sierra decided that, since adventure games were on their way out just ask Lucasarts, right? No, I'm not kidding. Mask of Eternity features a brand new main character, who can run, jump, and fight with melee and projectile weapons, and a first-person perspective that's about the only way to use a crossbow reliably.
