Chessboard style fighting and RTS like map. Pretty average turn based game, but I do admit, it's pretty addicting.

User Rating: 7 | Heroes of Might and Magic V (Limited Edition DVD) PC
Storyline: 5 - Probably one of the most mediocre and basic RPG storylines I have ever played. Boring typical story of good vs. evil only this time its confusingly switched around.

Graphics/Physics: 6 - Pretty typical graphics, heck its not that much better than graphics 10 years ago but most RTS games aren't graded on graphics.

Sound: 6 - Typical sound too, nothing stood out at all. On alot of the cut-scenes the mouth didn't at all match up with the voice sound.

Environment/Maps: 7 - Not bad mapping and environment. Maps and resources spread out evenly along with the battles. While on the map, the enemy never seems to advance on you except for the one time that couldn't be worse. The game likes to kick you while your down.

Game Engine/Scripting: 7 - Different style fighting, its "chess-board" fighting which can be rather annoying after the 30th time you fight the same type of creature in a very slow manner. Game crashed twice while in the middle of a battle both times were critical battles. Annoying slow loading screens at times.

Interface: 8 - Very confusing at first but after about 5-10minutes its easy to figure out where at what everything is. Good selection and value of skills and abilites, these play a big role in the game.

Menu: 7 - Kind of bland looking menu but offers a lot of different choices on campaigns and how to play.
-----------------------------------------------

Overall: 7 - Chess-Board style fighting and map laid out like an RTS. Pretty average, nothing too new in gaming, but I do admit, as long as your not losing its pretty addicting, this game certainly grew on me. Castle siegeing also turns out to be rather fun just make sure you have enough ground support to take a large army on.
