Watta Game [Posted on 2004-03-24]
I found this game to be very excellent.Howeveer, I must warn you that it is very addictave and will kep you up until the wee hours of the morning. Considering how fast the game movves on computers, I find that its graphics are very sophisticated an dthroughly enjoy every aspect of the game! I love the turn-based part because it allows you to multi-task and to play as a familly. I highly reccomend it!

This game is very fun but definetly is old. If you want the newest game out there then this is not for you. I Loved this game scince i got it in 1998! Very Fun.
Great Game.

The ultimate turn-based strategy game [Posted on 2006-03-02]
I got the demo for HOMM3 before it was released, and I played the same small scenario over and over again, waiting for the real game to come out. I agree with what another reviewer said, that we turn-based fans don't get a lot of good games to enjoy in a RTS world.

But this is definitely one of them. One of the best features of this games is the multitude of different creatures. And they are all actually different from each other, not just the same creature with different graphics. Most of the creatures have special characteristics that actually affect the tactics of combat. You'll still discover new strategies every now and then after you've been playing for months.

Also, look forward to some great character development. You'll be able to hire several heroes to lead your armies, each one unique, and you'll be able to customize them by chosing which skills they will acquire or how you'll distribute your precious artifacts among them.

The chess-like combat system is also a strong plus that has fortunately been inherited from the previous HOMM's.

Sadly the same can't be said about the sequel, HOMM4. I bought it as soon as it came out, but sold it shortly after, going back to my good old HOMM3. The new one just doesn't have the same "magic".

One weakness of HOMM3 is the excess of spells. If you're the type of player that likes more spells than you can count, you'll have a ball. But there are so many useless spells in this game! I am a definite veteran, and there are still some spells that I've never used. Seriously, who ever uses "Remove Obstacle"?? How about "Quicksand"?

But this shouldn't give you second thoughts about buying this game. It's like Star Wars, episodes 4, 5 and 6: several years later, it's still the best there is.
