User Rating: 10 | Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Shadow of Death PC
By Quintapus | Review Date:
Although Heroes IV made some interesting gameplay improvements, Heroes III is a far better game.

Gameplay: Addictive and enjoyably slow paced, at least in single player.
Uncomplicated gameplay has great strategic and tactical depth that allows you to defeat more powerful armies. That is if you are really good. (10)

Graphics: They are beautiful. (10)

Sound: Wonderful soundtrack, however sound effects can get a little annoying after awhile. Still, it's a 10.

Value: Hundreds of hours of gaming! (10)

Tilt: The only game to earn a perfect 10 from me.

The Good: Each town is unique and fun to play. Some might think one town is more powerful than another, but they just don't understand how to change their tactics to make each one's abilities work for them. The towns are perfectly balanced.

The Bad: Every town has the same set of randomly generated spells. This game will suck your life away, in a good way.

Bottom Line: Heroes III is a classic and is my second favorite game ever, after Thief.
