Heroes of Might & Magic III Complete Reviews
| 40 of 41 people found the following review helpful  Best Mac game in years, By This review is from: Heroes of Might & Magic III Complete (CD-ROM) I played Heroes III earlier this year at a friend's house, and I was hooked. I was about to buy the Mac version when I saw that 3do was finally coming out with the expansion set for Mac. The only flaw in this game is that it sucks up your time. If you are not careful, that "one more turn" can keep you up until the rooster crows and it's time for work.The game is a nice combination of role-playing and strategy games. I prefer turn-based games like this to real-time games like Warcraft, as it is based more on strategy and less on dexterous mouse-clicking. This game is also great for multiplayer, either online with Game Ranger, or the hotseat version with multiple players taking turns on the same computer.

There are dozens of units, countless characters, and limitless possiblities with the bundled scenarios and random adventure generator. This is one of those games in which you constantly tell yourself that you'll only take one more turn before quitting... and then take another twenty turns before realizing how much time you've sunk into it.Very addictive. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful An argument for neural implants, By "vogelgreif" (United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Heroes of Might & Magic III Complete (CD-ROM) Of the strategy games, this is my all-time favourite. The graphics are fantastic, the spells are awesome, and the gameplay doesn't crash my computer. :) This game is about as addictive as it gets--I'd take it intravenously if I could. You might want to think twice about buying it if you have other interests...job, family, etc. My only caveat is that the Complete addition is the only way to get the nifty Shadow of Death upgrade (I already owned HOMM3 and Armageddon's Blade). However, after a few hours of HOMM3, the pain in my pocketbook just faded away... |
