This is how HOMM V should have been, a very very brilliant remake of a game that invented its own genre. It will make you want to play just a bit more, do just one more battle and when it's done, you'll pick another character and replay and to top it off, the dialogues are great too. The graphics can be too colorful for some, however it goes to show that how much effort has been put into this game. Apart from the rare crashes when saving I didn't come across any bugs, well there was this one when I fell off the floating island and ran round in lava but hey :) As for sound, all the effects and troop sounds are detailed down to the hyena's laughter (annoying as hell) and the slush and plop of the alchemist's back flask. The music although repetitive doesn't bother you much even after 100+ hours in the game I still haven't completely muted it. I just wish it had a random map generator and multiplayer.
