After I played Age of Wonders II, it made me want more of this type of gaming experience. I have played all of the Heroes games and find them very challenging and fun, so more games that are like these I like to dive into. The story in the game was interesting, kept me wanting to play more and made it difficult to stop until I actually completed a mission (which sometimes took days). There was a large gap of playing time in between AOW II, but it was easy to pick up. Some of the missions were too challenging and I had to lower the difficulty level, but it was still enjoyable to finally get to the end of the campaign. The only part I did not like was the fact I played the wizards in the initial part of the game, but there power was not showcased when the final mission came to be. Otherwise, it was a great experience and I would purchase another sequel if it would be created.
