We never received a playable preview and after we saw the initial demo it would be the last we heard of the game, until it shipped. After a few hours of Heroes of Might and Magic, however, I started thoroughly enjoying the game. Each new quest for a castle and major battles against a powerful army would bring cheers and high fives for my son and myself. The bigger and more powerful the enemies, the more I explored, built armies, and fought for experience points. It's just too slow in the beginning.
Heroes is different from the PC version, no doubt.
The Cg movies are neat and the menus are good, and it's a pretty stripped down case of functionality. 7.6 Graphics High resolution images but medium to low detail on textures just bring this up to hum drum. Character models, however, are awesome. 7.5 Sound Grunts and moans are occasionally misplaced, but other than that, the ancient Arthurian music is quaint and harmless. 7.0 Gameplay Even though much of the strategy has been wiped clean, the core battles, adventuring, and collecting are still here and good.
