Great Game 4 out of 5
Great game for LAN games or playing against the computer, not an online game at all though even though it states it has online gameplay, it really isn't worth it to buy this game if thats all you want to do.
Good for those who love the old Heroes 3 game, just like new scenery 4 out of 5
This game is very reminiscent of the classic Heroes 3 game. It moves the same way, plays the same way, feels the same way, and all. The only new things are the way things look (more graphics), new buildings, new races, and a few small improvements. Exp: You can get all of the new hires for the week to come to your castle (Caravan) instead of having to go get them. If you are a die-hard Heroes 3 fan this might be worth it if you get the other parts, but otherwise stick with the game you already have, it is not worth it without the other improvements. It also is a lot harder (The opposing heroes actually have good stuff/magic, they attack quickly instead of months into the game, etc...). The scenarios are near impossible after a while. This is not a problem for me because I loved the random map generator better in 3 any way.
If you are new to Heroes of Might and Magic it is a great game if you like turn based strategies and a medium/slower pace. Get a guide if you have not played it, this will help you to understand the point (the guide that comes with it is not that informative). Be willing to just explore and save a lot so you can go back and fix your mistakes.
Ubisoft did it again! 5 out of 5
I bought this for my son and husband. They have played it everyday and thoroughly enjoy it. This is what my husband does during offseason for the NFL!
Looking to purchase another expansion for this series.
One more time... 3 out of 5
The final chapter of HOMM5, this game is just about as much fun as the other 2 games. This is a stand alone game as well, so the other games aren't needed to play this, though it is one big story so having played the other 2 helps make this games story more understadable.
This time, you have an ORC faction for this battle, and alot of the units are pretty cool, though you have too many units that can do damage to your own as well, no matter how you line them up. And the AI in the computer knows how to make you do that.
The missions are hard, but you do get to choose your level of difficulty (just like on HAmmers of Fate), which is good because this game can drive you nuts. With 16 missions, you will have many hours of gameplay as one of the downsides is repetious play. That is pretty much the worst part of the HOMM series.
Most of the missions are very cool and they have fixed a few bugs from the earlier games and added enough new units, artifacts, and other items to make this seem fresh.
Enjoyed playing this series, though wished this game would have been a litlle better.
Long and Boring 4 out of 5
It is very cheep, but for an obvious reason. I got all the Heroes of Might and Magic V for about 25 dollars including shipping and handling, and I never played it much past the first few missions. It was very easy to beat even on the hardest difficulty, it just took to much time to do. I found myself just building up huge armies and slaughtering my enemies within about 4 game weeks for every single mission. I must say some of the characters are rather interesting, and it does bring back some of my old memories of other turned based fighting games like Final Fantasy 7.
