This game is a good classic in the series, but i dont agree with all other things, the others have said.

I have been a long time fan of HOMM, and have played all the games, from HOMM 1 to HOMM 5, just despite some expansion packs. Before the HOMM 4 came out, this was a great game, actually it still is, and a funny experience all way through, but i dont agree with the things people are saying about, that this game is far more better than HOMM IV and V.
This game improved on quite many things, but the sequal improved on just as much. Also HOMM V is a good game, though there where less improvements here, But number 5 reminds very much of this game, so i dont understand why so many people hate both HOMM IV and HOMM V.

This game is great in every way, with the exception of the graphics, which look a bit old, even from 1999, but i dont think that people should hate the sequals, just because of, that HOMM IV let your heroes fight in battle, and especialy do not hate HOMM V, just because that it hasent been developed by the same developers, and produced by the same producers.
