Video Game Reviews of Heroes of Might & Magic 5
Customer Review: Best HOMM Installment Yet!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first heard that Heroes V was coming out, I was a little skeptical. The third installment was so much fun, but the fourth was so disappointing. This is just what I hoped they would have come out with. They got back to the basics of the third installment, and just made it so much better. Not only is it in full 3D, but the scenery of the the towns is AMAZING compared to anything fans have seen before. The creatures and heroes have definitely received a major upgrade. Not only is this a plus, but the battles are also very fun due to the new battle system.
For those of you who complain "It didn't work on my computer, it lags in graphics" deal with it. By a new computer, and stop whining. You are supposed to be leaving a review for the game based on the game, not your computer.
Anyways, the storyline is detailed and about the same length as previous installments. If you don't want to jump into the campaign, you can always jump into the multi-player maps. The only criticism I have for the multi-player maps when playing against AI is the lengthy time it takes between turns.
When it comes to the battles, they are much more exciting visually and strategically. The only problem I found with the battles was during a siege a hero can attack a creature even if there are walls, which doesn't make sense. Also the turns for which creatures can attack jump around often. There is no clear order for which a hero and his/her creatures attack.
I would recommend downloading all the patches from Ubisoft before you play the game, which fixes a lot of minor bugs and things.
Overall this game will keep you interested and entertained for hours and hours at a time. It's very easy to really get into. This game is a must buy. This is the best installment yet, and if there is another one in the works I doubt it will top this one.
