What our customer's say!

"Best HOMM Installment Yet!", When I first heard that Heroes V was coming out, I was a little skeptical. The third installment was so much fun, but the fourth was so disappointing. This is just what I hoped they would have come out with. They got back to the basics of the third installment, and just made it so much better. Not only is it in full 3D, but the scenery of the the towns is AMAZING compared to anything fans have seen before. The creatures and heroes have definitely received a major upgrade. Not only is this a plus, but the battles are also very fun due to the new battle system.


For those of you who complain "It didn't work on my computer, it lags in graphics" deal with it. By a new computer, and stop whining. You are supposed to be leaving a review for the game based on the game, not your computer.

Anyways, the storyline is detailed and about the same length as previous installments. If you don't want to jump into the campaign, you can always jump into the multi-player maps. The only criticism I have for the multi-player maps when playing against AI is the lengthy time it takes between turns.

When it comes to the battles, they are much more exciting visually and strategically. The only problem I found with the battles was during a siege a hero can attack a creature even if there are walls, which doesn't make sense. Also the turns for which creatures can attack jump around often. There is no clear order for which a hero and his/her creatures attack.

I would recommend downloading all the patches from Ubisoft before you play the game, which fixes a lot of minor bugs and things.

Overall this game will keep you interested and entertained for hours and hours at a time. It's very easy to really get into. This game is a must buy. This is the best installment yet, and if there is another one in the works I doubt it will top this one.



"Shouldn't graphics get better??", I have been a big fan of all the Heroes games. I came in at II, LOVED III and thought there were some good improvements with IV....And then came V. I was really hoping for better graphics and it almost looks like a lot of detail was lost in making this a "3D" game. The graphics actually look worse then the previous games. The creatures are less detailed and look more cartoon like. The towns look poor as well. I don't see any improvements in this new version. I only see a big disappointment.

"If you're a fan of the older Heroes this probably isn't for you.", As a HUGE fan of Heroes I, II, III and even IV, Heroes V came as a big disapointment to me. For one there is no autosave which was great with the others. The game had great graphics with the factions but I wasn't too thrilled about the creature graphics. I have a big problem about creatures that aren't proportionate. It's ridiculous to have arms and legs that are twice as large as you torso or hands that are bigger than your body. I know this is fantasy but come on. There were also very few maps; hardly enough maps to put out on a game. Overall, I hate the game. If the other Heroes had played like this I would have never have liked them and I've been playing them for 10 years.

"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", me:

I started with heroes 2, played a lot heroes 3 + shadow of death, played a lot heroes 4 despite the memory leaks and crashes.



What's good:

New 3D graphics engine, camera controls allowing zoom in, angle change, really COOL town screens (esp. Haven), great combat screens, in general the graphics is great.

Great sound/music.

Interesting new skill/secondary skill system.



What's ok:

gameplay is mostly like heroes 3. story is ok.



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.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"The Greatest Heroes", Wonderful game to play gaving you hours and hours of fun. Love the way you can change your view and move around the map!!! Great fun for anyone who loves games!!!

"no no no NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", I have never been so angry!!!!!!!
It is easy to see that this game has lost its former owners, because the people who have made number 5 has no idea waht they were doing.

The story is one big questionmark, and the more you play the more confused you get.
There is nothing that tells you where you are, or what happanded afther the last gamen and the rockening.
where is Emilia or Halfdeath?
There is no clue.

The graphic and the creatures look great, but the people who developed this game have totaly forgotten about game-play.

"Not happy.", I got the game along with the expansion. After downloading all the patches and actually playing the game I realized the RGMs seems less customizable than in HOMM III. Also, the loading time between turns is stupidly long. In the other HOMM's on your first turn the AI turn was almost instant...in HOMM 5 it took almost 60 seconds...for the FIRST turn. I wasn't happy. Also, the camera controls didn't impress me either.

Positives: Graphics are cool, voices aren't bad, cool new features.

I ended up sending it back.

"False Advertizing", I send this game back because it was advertized as E for everyone when it was really rated T for Teens. It was my 10 year old son who had wanted it. It was also not noted that this product will not work on your computer unless you have a new type of graphics card. So... if your computer is a few years old, don't buy this game.

"Almost perfect in my opinion", There are a few glaring bugs in this game that the developers are trying to fix, but I'm afraid its too little too late. I'm a bigtime strategy fan, including turn based. I've played games like Disciples 2, and found that even though this game was totally different than what I was used to, I found it to be very fun. I would say to wait for a combo deal with this and the addon, or see if they are put in the same package, because the addon really completes this game (in the sense that it seems a little half baked)

Bottom line: If you like strategy specifically, then get this, if you're a casual gamer, then do your homework reading reviews and such to see if this is a game you really want.
