Customer Reviews

great game, low budget packaging
I was only looking for the expansions for this game. I found this and ordered it instead however because this was cheaper than buying just the expansions. I ended up giving my original game to a friend. The game is totally complete. The expansions are great. All of the patches are already completed. The downside of this deal is that they did cut back on productin costs in every way possible. No manual is inclded and disks were loose to slide around inside the pack. There was no damage to the disks themselves though. The instructions are included on the CD's in PDF format. Also there is an included is a disk for 3 month trial for an internet security program. The expansions themselves are very excelent, they add so much more than just new maps and charactors to the game. You are getting about a $70 value when our purchase this set.

Enjoyable Title
I've played several of the HOMM games and this one did not disappoint me. I found it to be quite enjoyable and rich in graphics and story. I'm still playing it and looking forward to trying out all the different paths and options.

A good game that is not without its flaws
An in depth strategy game that is loads of fun. The only down sides are that the game takes forever and a day to complete even one map. Another downside is that the AI cheats a little bit to give itself extra resources and that the game really isn't any fun unless you play with friend(s). But if you can get some people together and play hot seat the game really shows its strength. I recommend this game for someone with friends that enjoy similar games but if you're just going to play by yourself look elsewhere.
