  • Summary: Spending even a short time with the game quells any doubt that it's anything but an excellent sequel and a first-rate strategy game in its own right.

    This might be one of the few games that can be trully called 10/10. not 9.99/10 but trully a 10/10
    There are many reasons but for the game to be 10/10 it must have replay value.
    You can play this game. Play for 40h straight, replay everything in campaing, play random maps, modded content. If you like this game it never get's boring. Hard to imagine this sentence in modern games

Even as I now rather play the King's Bounty series instead, as it's more tactical focus suits me better, I still have to bow before the game design and production value of this game. Even now (2014), fifthteen years after the game release you can play it and be utterly immersed into the world and gameplay mechanics. It's just a masterpiece. Expand

It is nothing short of spectacular and it really seems like a labor of love. The game mechanics are easy to learn and intuitive. The artistic style is beautiful and fits the game fantastically. And the music is magnificent and atmospheric. HoMIII was built on the framework of HoM I & II, but it is polished beyond what those titles offered (though they are great games as well). Over the years I have introduced it to many of my friends and it remains the only title that received unanimous praise from all of them. I have invested a great deal of time into the game and it remains the title I always return to. I recommend Heroes of Might and Magic III wholeheartedly, and it remains to this day a momentous achievement in the gaming world (well...by my standards). Expand

    Well.... this game was different.... it felt like I was helping a intellectually disabled person progress to the next objective. Really itWell.... this game was different.... it felt like I was helping a intellectually disabled person progress to the next objective. Really it felt like the game was only half finished. Some parts were okay... but it's still honestly a let down. I don't understand how this game even left the studio? I think some people did favours to get this one through. Anyway, play if you MUST though spok doesn't like you in this game. Expand
