I've played through one of the campaigns in the game and I must say I'm pretty impressed. It captures the old HOMM formula well but adds some new features that in my mind make the game better those old games. The new research buildings and the command point requirements for stack size make for more strategic play. Also, small things in the battles like zones of control, counterstrikes and attacks of opportunity are welcome additions as it the idea of height buffs. All in all, a great experience and I look forward to playing this one for years to come in skirmish, campaign and multiplayer mode.
Sierra made great adventure games in the 80s and 90s. Space Quest is one of the best. My only complaint is that the VGA version of Space Quest 1 was not included in this pack. It is slightly different than the EGA version and also fun to play. Perhaps GOG can bring back the early Roberta Williams Sierra games that were made for the Apple 2. They were great also.
