![]() | "Not The Payne He Used To Be" Jun. 29, 2009 |
![]() 8.5 Very Good Very challenging, deep, and addictive gameplay, mission design, unit animation, multiplayer potential, easy on your hardware; Voice acting, story lacks the needed drama, music gets repetitive, some minor camera issues in movement mode (can't scroll the map while my hero is moving - didn't find a fix for it).

The longevity and the true value of HOMM 5 will be tested once throngs and hordes (pun intended) of HOMM fans get their hands on the game and start playing some multiplayer matches. If you ask me, HOMM 5 has a bright future in those regards. You simply have to have the willingness to learn and give this game a chance. If you do this, you will be rewarded with an amazing strategy experience.

Finally, the musical score (which was a big thing in HOMM 3) is somewhat underwhelming. It does get a bit repetitive after a while. On the other hand, the animation of the units during battles is excellently done, so it will be a real pleasure to watch your high-end sluggers unleash their fury on the enemy.
In its own right, Heroes of Might & Magic 5 is a good game, and it's a definite must buy for fans of the series. Even those who are new to the franchise and have an affinity for turn-based strategy games with a lot of depth should give it a try. Surely, there will be a lot of fans who will inevitably compare this iteration to the third game down to the very last detail, but there is no possible way for a group of people with one goal in mind to please everyone and their notion of the direction the series should've taken.
The good news is that Heroes of Might & Magic 5 does deliver a satisfying gaming experience. Let's hope the sales do it justice too, which would ensure that the series would live on.

| Very nice review 2L especially on pointing the good and down-sides of the game. Im not a HOMM fan but i can say the very least that this, off all games in the series, is worth its price (finally, now i can die happy). All i can say is: GRIFFIN ETERNAL !.......now back to my bottle of coke and 10inch filth covered mouse, hmm wonder what days it is. |

| "some minor camera issues in movement mode (can't scroll the map while my hero is moving - didn't find a fix for it)" YES! That was the biggest annoyance I had with the demo. Other than that, I enjoyed it. I don't know if I really like this kind of game, but I found the demo quite fun. |

| Very good game but sadly, like most strategy games, takes up too much of my time. | ||

| I have try out the demo, and I dont like that they have take out the nice control of hereos in combat away. I think it is sad that they have take out the thing about go around with no heroes in your army. That one I uses to put spys out in the area in heroes4. So the two best things in heroes4 they take away... The bad thing is heroes4 was the buildings. That building some sucks most was the money building some did only give 1000gold on max. So make a big slow in the game. They have made the building system better in heroes 5, thx for that. But take away the other good thing, take away the chance that I buy the game... |

| Havent played 1 or 2... But 3 is great, 4 sucks... So, how is 5 compared to 3? | ||

| Let me put it this way: 1 - never played 2 - very good 3 - not bad 4 - ive had more fun with a bottle cap 5 - amazing (repetitive music, bugs etc are hardly a motive NOT to play) |
