Full of errors, based on Beta version of game [Posted on 2006-06-03]
Don't buy this. There's more accurate information online about HOMM5. This is the poorest Game Guide I've ever bought.

OK, but..... [Posted on 2006-07-19]
Overall the book is useful, but like most of Prima's game guides it is a mass of errors and typos. They really ought to consider hiring an editor.

Pretty disappointing [Posted on 2006-07-21]
With a complex game like Heroes you want some good fold out tables and charts of the different troop-types and heroes. You dont get that. The entire book is in black and white. Most of the guide is simply a walkthrough of the Campaign missions. Bleh. That would have been fine to include that but fans of this game want tables and charts in a readable format. Very unfortunate how bad this "guide" is. I regret buying it.

Only graphics were improved [Posted on 2006-08-02]
The game looks nice but except from the graphics nothing else has been changed from the previous version.You should by this game only if you missed playing heroes but do not expect much from it.

Not sure what the fuss is about... [Posted on 2006-08-03]
I read the reviews here and hesitated to buy this guide. So I went into a game store and looked at it in person. It had everything I expected it to have: monster descriptions, spell descriptions, ability descriptions, campaign walkthroughs, and even some stuff I didn't expect, like what all the "Week of..."s meant.

It's certainly a grand improvement on what the game's rulebook gives you. Now I know in mechanical terms what items like "Battle Dive" and "Shield Bash" mean, and can use them properly--not hit a button and not know how the outcome was determined.

I still don't know what a Crystal Dragon is yet, but maybe it will turn up. :)
