Nice first campaign, and a new faction that boosts value to this expansion.

User Rating: 8.1 | Heroes of Might and Magic III: Armageddon's Blade PC
One good thing overall is the introduction of a new faction, the elementals. Those who played the first one may be thrilled about it since the elementals in the first of the trilogy could only be summoned or recruited in neutral creature dwellings.

The first campaign, Armageddon's Blade, is the most exciting and satisfying campaign to play since it involves the assembly of a powerful artifact through the scenarios and you get to unleash its powers at the last mission. It makes re-playing an old game rewarding and refreshing as well. The rest of the campaigns are interesting as well, including a wizard (titans) faction that doesn't have mobile enemies, just powerful dragons that block your way. Own time, own target. Nice.

The graphics are the same, even the music doesn't change at all, perhaps a new theme for the elementals, but it should suffice with so much new content to allow Heroes III to be fun again.
