Summary: Heroes Of Might And Magic 3
Review: This game is very fun but definetly is old. If you want the newest game out there then this is not for you. I Loved this game scince i got it in 1998! Very Fun.
Great Game.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My favorite game of all time
Review: This is simply the best turn based fantasy game ever. The races each have their own strenghts and weaknesses but balance very well. Worth getting for any fans of strategy games.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Strategic, Slow, and Long
Review: This normally takes a long time and is purely strategy-based. There are at least 50 different creatures you can fight with, each with special abilities and statistics. You send "heroes" to bring these creatures around the map to gain resources, experience, artifacts, and other treasures. Then you use your cities to make more creatures. Generally, the idea is to wipe out your opponents in stunning, turn-based battle sequences. The heroes are generally few and they often just explore and wipe out uncontrolled creatures, which may flee, attack you, join you, or offer themselves for hire. The games take a long time depending on the map, at least 3 hours. You can make scenarios, and the editor is pretty friendly. I recommend this game for people who want a slow-paced, strategic challenge.

Summary: Top calibre turn-based strategy
Review: When I first played Heros of Might and Magic (the very first one), I was unimpressed. I had played Warlords, one of its contemporaries, and Heroes I lacked the depth of its competitor.

Fast forward to Heroes of Might and Magic III. What a phenomenal improvement over its predecessors! The art is breathtaking. The music is worth listening to even while you're not playing. The number of units available is staggering. The gameplay is balanced and addictive. In no other game do I succumb to the "just one one turn" syndrome so easily. In addition, the relaxed pace of a turn-based strategy game is welcome, especially after all the real-time strategy games that cover the aisles, walls, and floors of software stores.

And if the maps and campaigns that ship with the game aren't enough to satisfy you, New World Computing has included their map editor to allow you to make your own maps. There are several sites on the net dedicated to archiving other people's creations.

I've been a fan of Might and Magic for 10 years now and this game is easily worthy of acting as the franchise's flagship strategy offering.
