    I am truly spellbound by the splendor of this game.

    If you love deep, complex strategy games and fun online multiplayer action, you can't go wrong with Heroes of Might & Magic V. What it lacks in technological flash it makes up for in smart, well-balanced gameplay.

    And, unfortunately, despite extra time on the grill, Heroes V's ribs are tasty, but still a bit undercooked. [Aug 2006, p.48]

    One of the best sequels so far. Gain of good looking without loss in Heroes climate. Only Heroes III is still better than this one. To arms brothers! Theres a game that is worth playing! ( something unusuall these days).… Expand

    To be honest, I'm really disappointed. It's just a much worse HoMM3. If it just had a HoMM3's world, units, castles, heroes, and a map would be much better (it sucks to get lost while rotating camera because it's just too many thing on the map and it's hard to see anything), it would be a great game. But it is not. We've a boring, small maps, where 3D is just unnecessary, awful castles and units (Dungeon, what they have done to you?), not to mention a really sucky campaign. I had played a little and this game died for me.… Expand

    PATHETIC! You gotta wait for the editor, SIX MAPS!, and extremely cheesy graphics, I think this is seriously the end of heroes, no one can stand up again after two KOs. Heroes 4+5 are the end, thank god for Heroes 3 though....… Expand
