This game added some interesting game mechanics to the HOMAM3. Most of them spoiled the game. Also the graphic of the game gets very old compare to the very nice and still lovely graphic of the 3rd one. If you played the game back then, you need to byu copy to your game collection. But if you are new to HOMAM world you should definetly start with 3rd one.
This game is one of the few. Was excelent when it was released 25 years ago and it is excelent today. The gameplay, balance, game mechanics, music and even thegraphic are still the world class. If you played it back then, you most likely love it, if you havent play it you shoudl definetly go for it. This is the masterpiece.
