Average Rating:
Rating: - Good game
I prefer the third version of this game over the fourth, personally but it is still a great game. I just prefer the graphics and gameplay of the last game better than this one.
Rating: - It's okay, but not as good as HOMM 3
This is the complete set of Heroes of Might and Magic 4 with both expansion packs: The Gathering Storm and The Winds of War.
This is thought to be the weakest game in the series by some and possibly the second best by others. Most people who play the HOMM series agree the 3rd is by far the best.
That being said, Heroes 4 is a pretty good game; capable of consuming the hours of your life at huge chunks at a time. The emphasis in this installment moved from the heroes armies to the actual heroes themselves. Moving from the side lines to the battle, the heroes make yet another piece on the battlefield to conquer and strategize.
The two expansions are, unfortunately, some of the worst expansions ever made for a game. At the time, the parent company 3DO was going under and needed to make some quick cash so they pumped out these two expansions asap. Missing any sort of real animations or plausible story which made the series to this point, most serious Heroes fans skipped over these two titles.
