As a long time fan of the HOMM series I was deeply saddened by the loss of 3DO and New World Computing but was encouraged by the news that HOMM5 was to be created. If there are other fans out there who are worried about loss of the ‘feel’ of the game as it is produced by Ubisoft rest easy! The best way to review this game is to state that it is in almost all ways a direct descendent of the previous titles to the point where in certain cases I can’t help but stop and stare at map locations such as the witches hut and remember the small pixel mapped hut on what could generously called a tree! The graphics are strongly reminiscent of Warcraft 3 but more polished. The gameplay is still immersive enough to make you lose hours of your day and the overall game is nothing short of a masterpiece. Now I’d better stop before I get all emotional!
