Heroes of Might and Magic V Review

[lilDeath]

"Whatever you believe about Ubisoft's reasons for delaying the release of Heroes of Might and Magic V, you can't call the decision unwarranted. The open beta was a whole mess of might and magic, and it was rightly demurred by fans concerned the original shipping time frame wouldn't brook enough mandatory bug-squashing. Sadly, it seems an extra few months weren't enough, as the final release now proves. While HOMM5 retains much that fans once cherished about this series, its imaginative yet hamstrung shift to 3D, poor A.I., clunky interface, stingy multiplayer maps, and intimidating bug list render what could have been the rebirth of a phenomenal strategy game merely an average rehash."

Thanks lilDeath.

I think it's an accurate review, kudo's to the reviewer who seemed to play it for a bit, i got tired of it after 20 mins and it hasn't been launched since.

i think if he applies the new patch it could re-ignite his passion for it again.

I'm actually finding it quite fun and enjoyable and I've finished the first of five campaigns. I loved HoMM 2, didn't play 3, found 4 to be not as fun/enjoyable as 2 and loving 5. The 1.1 patch does fix / improve a lot (see the change log). Definetely one of the better games of 2006 in my opinion.

Ahh, a patch at last? There were a few irritating bugs to say the least!

None the less it is my favourite game of the year so far, and a good way to cool off from WoW!
