the Heroes of Might and Magic Series are very addictive games. They [draw] you in and hours fly by like seconds. Your prescious time gets wasted extremely fast. Even though the game is very enjoyable, the way you get addicted to it makes it lose one star.

What a disappointment

What a disappointment. So far most of the rest of the Heroes of Might and Magic series has been great. However, this particular one brings nothing really interesting or new to the series. From what I've seen so far the big deal that has been made about it seems to be that you can now use your heroes in combat and strategy. New creatures, new maps, etc. not much else.

The AI is horrible, the computer cheats constantly, gathering massive armies in short spans of time that are either impossible or difficult to counter. The cd doesn't ship with a finished multiplayer mode, and 3DO has promised a patch to make this available, but I am unsure if it ever came out. The soundtrack is pretty typical for this series, nothing impressive. All in all, if you want to play a good Heroes of Might & Magic game go back to 2 or 3, after all there's not a huge difference in the games.

Odd Differences

Well, I was looking at screenshots published on Gamespot, and I noticed that there was something strange. In some images of the buying screens, it said something like: "Cannot be built if Golden Pavilion is built." What's the deal here? Is the game going to restrict what you can build? I think this is a very important factor to consider. Also, the graphics can be confusing. It is just a bit too colorful. Otherwise, (if one can say 'otherwise') the game looks like it will be a lot of fun. It has a certain element of Age of Empires to it (the adventure screen), and I am not sure if this is an improvement. It seems there will be very different spells, learnable abilities, etc. so those of you who want the same game with better graphics had better think about sticking with Heroes III Complete...

Thanks All,
The Nitro

There is simply no way I can express how excited I am about this game's release. I have been playing HOMMIII for the last couple years and I'm not sure how it can be improved upon. New characters, new towns, new magic, heroes involved in combat? It would take significant effort to turn away fans of the series. I have confidence in 3DO. I expect to find this technological crack as overpowering as HOMMII.

The best game ever...

Once again scammed by another software company, have been playing Heroes for many years buying all the latest games and enjoying play with my fellow Hero players. My new computer came with Windows XP which heroes does not support and claims that on their site. They cannot offer you an update or grade to the games you have to make it compatible with XP because coding is too involved. So instead they force you to buy a new copy Heroes 4 that is compatible with XP but at the same time they take away Mutiplayer capabilities. Whats with that? Now I cannot not enjoy playing the game with friends on-line (Peer to Peer). Oh, Oh I get it. The upgrade for Multiplayer use will be available in Heroes 5 at [price] a pop? Reminds me of a operating system they forced on me with my new system..............Thanks?

Just horrible compared to HMM3

I loved HMM3 and its expansion packs, as well as Chronicles games, so naturally I was looking forward to HMM4 expecting it to be a great sequel to HMM3 and a major improvement in terms of user-friendliness, (just as BG2 was a great improvement compared to BG1). I was bitterly disappointed, since the game is slow, the interface is much worse and inconvenient to use, and the whole thing looks just terrible. Complete waste of money. I hope 3DO will come to its senses when it's time to for HMM5.

This is a great version of the series although I have been told the new one is AWESOME! If you like Heroes and just want play, get it. If you don't mind spending the money, get the new one if your computer can handle it.

WOW!!!
