Gave this a three star for the sole reason that if you want to get into a Heroes of Might and Magic (HOMM) game, definitly go for 2,3, or 5 as they are much more polished and much more enjoyable to play. Although if you're like me, the nostalgia factor makes this a great experience to play. I must have put hours into this game when i was a young kid, and i still play this game with my girlfriend to this day, and in my personal opinion the cartoon style graphics are by far my favourite of the series. Compared to the other games though, the content in this game is lacking, with the inability to choose your own faction, not being able to play allies, and the biggest thing for me is that the maxiumum AI or human players is only 4 reguardless of the map. Where HOMM 3 has a total of 8+ which gives much more interesting abd challenging situations. Either way, if you're a person who likes classic games then this is a must, But if youre looking for the best HOMM experience look towards the other games.
