Summary: Take up the gauntlet and win!
Review: I watched a friend of mine play the demo version of this game and within an hour I was totally hooked. After completing the demo for myself I rushed out and bought the full version. Until I played HMM3 I used to ridicule turn based combat, I thought that it was totally unrealistic and that it slowed down the flow of events. Well this game changed all that for me, battle becomes an intellectual challenge, a sort of graphically superior Battle Chess. The fights often end up being better than the disorganised melee that Warcraft II battles can degenerate into. Many was the time I started a fight with an enemy only to be shocked by size of the forces aligned against me. To be able to claw your way back from almost certain defeat to a glorious victory is a major buzz!There's a lot of pleasure to be had from selecting a hero and slowly building up their experience, knowledge and magical powers. Likewise you become almost sad when you have to sacrifice some of these heroes to save the others. The cut scenes are truly cinematic in quality and set the scene really well. The main map graphics are clear pleasant but nothing outstanding, about the same quality and viewing angle as Warcraft II and no 3D graphics card is required. During the battle scenes the character graphics and animation is excellent, see your foes reel in agony and collapse! HMM3 sound is the best I have ever heard from any game with superb spot effects, beautiful orchestrated music that occasionally stirs the blood and draws you deeper into the game. You'll probably need a decent sound card to appreciate it fully. The only minor irritation I could find was the slight feeling of being hemmed in. With Warcraft and Command & Conquer you are free to build structures anywhere on the main map and you can adapt your defences to the terrain. In this game additional structures are provided for you depending on your levels of cash and other resources. These new structures never appear on the main map and can only be seen by entering a castle. I take my hat off to the designers, artists and programmers who created HMM3, it is a highly recommended experience.

Summary: Heroes III: the greatest PC game in history (?)
Review: I've been pretty much addicted to this game since it came out the better part of a year ago. Some gaming sites and mags (e.g., PC GAMER) gave this game very good--but not superior--reviews. But unlike these reviewers, I don't buy the view that just because Heroes III is in principle very much like Heroes II it is not a superior game. This may be fallacious reasoning, but I know Heroes III is a great, great game because I do not get addicted to anything less than great, great games (i.e., StarCraft, WarCraft II, Alpha Centauri, Duke Nukem 3D, and a few others). I could go on and on about how fun this game is to play, how enjoyable the different spells and monsters are. And with the add-on (well, there are two of them now), Heroes III has infinite replayability. From the p.o.v. of a strategy gamer, this is one of the top ten best games of all time. (My big stack of Ancient Behemoths will kick the butts of a million of your wimpy Quake monsters!) Seriously, any fan of strategy games should check this one out, pronto, esp. since the price has dropped so low.

Summary: Excellent game
Review: Overall Play - [*****]5 Stars. I found that playing in single-player mode after a while became dull, but, playing with 4-8 ppl in "Hotseat" mode was one of the best times I've had on a computer game. The numerous races, heros, spells, skills, creatures, artifacts, and maps make this game one of the best I've ever seen. Artwork - [*****]5 Stars. The artwork is astonishing as they incorporate real artwork and great drawings [look at the Elven race's dragon cliff, that is a real photo of a cliff with drawn in caves and dragon animations]. The hero designs are sometimes amusing and are well done. The spells and symbols inside the spellbook are very very well done and add a level of realism. Graphics - [***]3 Stars. The spell graphics in battle suck. Take the spell Armeggedon...you expect a big "boom" from the symbol and description in the spellbook, but it just throws red meteors across your screen =[. They could have made the battle graphics better...but...the graphics while running on the "map" are pretty good. Overall play outmatches graphics so much though, it's almost irrelevent to talk about them. Sound - [*****]5 Stars. The music inside your town is actually pleasent to listen to. And your race determains what music will be played which I thought was pretty cool [i.e. Celtic music is played inside Elven towns etc etc.] Battle music is Okay, the normal "thrilling" music in most RPGs. Hope this review was helpfull. Thx for reading =]

Summary: Excellent Game!
Review: Overall Play - [*****]5 Stars. This game is so addictive while playing with friends. I found it rather dull in all of the single-player modes, but playing with 4 or more people in "Hotseat" mode is very very very fun. Comes with a Map Editor so you can create your own maps with ease compared to the StarCraft editor .And with so many races, heros, artifacts, spells, and skills, this game is one of the best rpgs in along time. Artwork - [*****]5 Stars. The character/hero artwork is well above par, and the town artwork incorporates real footage [check out the dragon cliff that belongs to the elf race...that looks like a real photo]. The realism of the artwork puts you right in the game. Graphics - [***]3 Stars. The spell graphics in battle aren't done very well [i.e. Armeggedon spell], which could have been done much better. Still the gameplay outmatches the graphics. Sound - [*****]5 Stars. The music in your town is actually good, and accomponies your race [i.e. kinda Celtic sounding music for the elves etc etc.] Battle sounds and FX are Okay. Conclusion - Buy this game if you want to have a real good time with your friends [took myself and 3 of my friends 6 hours to finish one 2v2 game], but don't hope for much after you've beaten it a few times. Cya and have fun

Summary: Argh!
Review: This game is good...up to a point. Like the bots in Quake 3, the senarios are either very easy or very HARD. I've also noticed that when you start a mission, if you enter the cheat that reveals the whole map, you'll notice that the enemy always has more than TEN chests of gold and at least FOUR artifacts right within easy reach! All this while YOU have to scrounge by to surivive in the early game! Later on, when you control vast armies, which would make Waterloo look like little kids playing War, you'll run into computers which will, naturally, have armies approximately three times larger than your own. The game CHEATS! Trust me, you'll be screaming in rage too when you enter the scene with twenty of your best units and find that the computer has seventy of his. At least it's not as bad as HOMM2, which had one mission put you up against more than 200 bone dragons!
