    4 Stars Magically Mighty! 31/05/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Awesome graphics, some nice new features

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some of the changes from HOMM IV aren't for the better, GLITCHES!!

    Those who read my previous review on Heroes of Might and Magic (HOMM) IV, will know that I'm a big fan of the series and have been since I was introduced to HOMM 2 several years back. Well, some time after the release of HOMM IV I noticed that it was no longer on the shelves in shops (not too much of a problem as I already owned it by then), with the apparent reason being that the makers 3DO had gone bust. This left me to mourn the end of my favourite series of PC games, but, after all hope had long since vanished, Ubisoft picked up where 3DO left off and have now released HOMM V. WHAT'S IT ... more

    4 Stars Those Pesky Demons Are At It Again... Review with images 25/01/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Superb graphics, atmospheric sound, balanced game play, tons of creatures and depth...

    Disadvantages Disadvantages ... requires an enormous time commitment, cut scenes leave a lot to be desired...

    Heroes of Might and Magic V is a massive game which keeps the spirit of earlier games in the series and a virtually identical interface, but it's presented with more style and much more impressive graphics. It stars off with the marriage of Emperor Nicolai and Lady Isabel - but those pesky demons in the land can always be relied on to try and ruin things, and sure enough along comes an evil beast to break up the happy couple. With Nicolai taking the battle to the demons far away, Isabel is much too feisty to just sit around and wait for him to return, and sets off on a journey to gather an ... more

    5 Stars My opinion of this game 15/11/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Graphics have really increased in this version

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Time consuming

    I was delighted to hear that the new heroes of might and magic game was coming out, I am particularly a big fan of the game. I bought this game at my local GAME shop, for £30. The game is a strategy game, the one where you take turns to play with the computer or another player online, you create units in castles, and use them to battle oppenents and capture towns This game has some amazing new features: Graphics: Graphically, the game is superb. Everything from creatures and heroes to the environments themselves looks great and is wonderfully animated, it is the small things that make this ... more

    3 Stars Might and magic for survival Review with images 12/09/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages cutscenes, presentation, sounds and music, characters

    Disadvantages Disadvantages similiarities to other games, not easy for beginners, sometimes cartoonish

    Heroes of Might and Magic series had never attracted me to it until I got to play the fifth of the series. Talking about this game, this seems to be caught between different genres, as this is not exactly a Role Playing adventure and it has more similiarities to a strategy game, a turn based one. The game even has two expansions already, Hammers of Fate and Tribes of the East which is currently under development. This game from Ubisoft isn't the best game to be released, but its certainly addictive and got some factors which could keep the kids more interested in the game, and it begins from ... more

    3 Stars A great legacy's first mistake. 08/09/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great music, powerful city views

    Disadvantages Disadvantages 3D take on many graphics didn't fit, bad story

    The Heroes of Might and Magic series has always been something of great joy for me. A die hard fan all the way! With that said Ubisoft which has a rather good reputation to bringing out good games, has somewhat let down this round. In order to understand why this one was somewhat lacking, one must understand where the others were excelling. The fourth and third HoMM held luscious 2D sprite work which in an age of ruthless 3d modelling was a remarkable relief. UbiSoft decided to drop all that and go with models, but sadly the models were... rather poor in quality. Dumbed down and awkward moving ... more
