Great sequel!
User Rating: 8 | Heroes of Might and Magic V (Limited Edition DVD) PC
For those of you whom are fans of this series, this is a must buy! The graphics are simply beautiful, while the game itself has only gotten better. There are now far more creatures to fight, create, and persuade to join the ranks of your armies! Creature upgrades are here to stay, and you will find more options for each race to enjoy as you play through the campaign. This game is surprisingly addictive, as you will find yourself obsessing in order to create an army that could not possibly be defeated! The most major change from the prequels would be the development of your armies' hero. Gaining levels will give your hero many more options than before, making spell learning and casting more diverse than it had been in previous games. Also, your hero takes on a role more as a general in your battles, as opposed to the "field marshall" status from previous games: that is, your hero is no longer an individual unit to be moved around the battlefield. Your hero will sit back, casting spells and attacking as his or her turn arrives, and participate in the battle more as the overseer from behind the ranks. An interesting touch, and one that is not better or worse than previous title (simply different). Otherwise, this game does everything that a sequel should do, and is certainly a good game to own.
