Interesting and sometimes very challenging campaigns , very long game play, excellent soundtrack (probably the best in the series), strong RPG elements and, for me, beautiful graphics are the pros of the game. The cons would be sometimes very unfair difficulty and lack of some mechanics introduced in Heroes 3 (eg unit upgrades). For a HoM&M veteran this game is solid 3/5, just a good TBS. To me though the game's soundtrack and grpahics create an amazing atmosphere and bring the good old "one more turn and I'm going to sleep" experience. This and the nostalgic value this game has for me makes me add an extra star to the rating. Still, I think that unless you are a true die-hard fan you can skip this instalment of the series.
