    What it lacks is the elegance of the original design.

    The new combat system is an almost unmitigated disaster. [July 2002, p.73]

Guess its that peopleI really dont get why people say its the worst game in the series. Personally i think its almost as good as HoMM 2 or 3. Guess its that people didnt like all the new concepts like moving units without a Hero, and having Hero fighting in combat. I think it worked good, people just hate changes.… Full Review »
