I always have have mixed feelings about the 'Heroes' games. They are a combination of 'Civilization' and RTSs like 'Starcraft' with a turn-based combat engine thrown in, I really enjoy the building and exploration parts. However when I get ready to start conquering, most times I find opponents who are ten times more powerful than I am. Most Herons maps require either a quick rush or a 'build combat force only' tactic. This is especially true on Large and eXtra-Large maps. If loved previous Heroes installments this one is more of the same. If you've never played Heroes before it's harder to recommend since the gameplay is monolithic. Fortunately you can pickup other editions such as Heroes III dirt-cheap. I encountered no technical issues playing this game.

Heroes of Might and Magic is a very involved game, using sorcery, mystical creatures and knights. You need to discover new lands for yourselves, and before the enemy does. With your own special Hero, Castle, and Creatures, you must claim these lands, battle monsters, and use your meney wisely to grow in power and wealth.
A fantastic game for a rainy, long day.

After playing Heroes of Might and Magic 2 for years I was excited about Heroes 3. But, after I got the game I thought it was just Heroes 2 all over again. All that was really done to the game was add several creature, take away a few creatures, mix the towns up a little, and slap better graphics on it. Though I must admit that it was just as fun (and pehaps even more fun) than Heroes 2. One of the greatest things about this game is the plot and story (much better than Heroes 2.) If you're thinking of buying this game, and don't have Heroes 2, then know that it can be very addicting. If you do have Heroes 2 then only buy this game if you want better graphics and a few new creatures then go ahead and get it.

Heroes of Might and Magic III is the best Heroes game yet! #1 was okay, but it lacked upgrades, and #2 was great, but this leaves it way behind. With eight castle types, each with fourteen different creatures (seven normal and seven upgraded), sixteen types of heroes (two from each town), and three sides (good, evil, neutral), you'll have hours of strategic fun. The battle engine remains the same, where you and the army you form attacks other armies, towns, or just wandering monsters, in a turn-based fight. Now, though, certain soldiers have special powers over others. For example, Angels and Devils have hatred toward each other, so when one attacks the other, they inflict almost triple damage! Other hatreds include Giants/Titans and Red/Black Dragons, and Genies/Master Genies and Efreeti/Efreeti Sultans. The way you form armies is you build your towns, and you recruit creatures from their dwellings (Note: not all creatures are generated from towns, some you must find elsewhere). You build your town by finding resources and gold, then buying structures. You can recruit many different kinds of soldiers for your army, including Dragons, Giants, Griffins, Minotaurs, Vampires, Cyclopes, and Hydras! Some of the ways to play are 1) doing a normal stand-alone mission where you are given objectives, 2) doing a campaign, where you do many missions that tell a story, 3) creating your own mission in the map generator (a very cool touch), or 4) playing either 1 or 3 in multiplayer mode. The depth, graphics, and fun of this game are endless.

This normally takes a long time and is purely strategy-based. There are at least 50 different creatures you can fight with, each with special abilities and statistics. You send "heroes" to bring these creatures around the map to gain resources, experience, artifacts, and other treasures. Then you use your cities to make more creatures. Generally, the idea is to wipe out your opponents in stunning, turn-based battle sequences. The heroes are generally few and they often just explore and wipe out uncontrolled creatures, which may flee, attack you, join you, or offer themselves for hire. The games take a long time depending on the map, at least 3 hours. You can make scenarios, and the editor is pretty friendly. I recommend this game for people who want a slow-paced, strategic challenge.
