Customer Reviews of Heroes of Might & Magic 5
Good and Bad I'm a long-time fan of HOMM, having thoroughly played all 4 prior versions. It has always been one of my favorite games. <
> <
>Version 5 stays true to the franchise. As other reviewers noted, it builds off of 3 more than 4, but it definitely adds new elements and higher strategic complication to give it parallels to 4. <
> <
>The 3D graphics are very cool, but the new system demands can be frustrating. My computer meets the requirements, but the wait time for game saves and loads can be pretty tedious and prolongs and interrupts the time spent playing the game. <
> <
>I still recommend it, but want others to be forewarned.
Great graphics, gameplay mostly the same as Heroes 3

>What's bad:
<
><
>demanding on hardware, otherwise graphics gets laggy, most notably on the last Sylvan campaign map. Game crashes after play for several hours, happened to me several times (my installation is fully patched)
<
><
>lack of replay value, campaign map 5x6 = 30 maps, plus 6 custom maps. No random map generator
<
><
>Lack of caravans mean you spend a lot of time micromanaging your secondary heroes to funnel troops to the front line and hitting resource-giving-out places.

Slow
This is easy to install but slow to run. I have a pretty decent machine I got in 2006 but this thing just runs in molasses. I really don't get why they make something so slow that it is unusable? My advice is not to waste your money.
