    Another Ubisoft Masterpiece

    Fifth installment of  HoMM saga is compilation of all best features of the previous games with all new graphics engine that packs quite a few eyecandies. It doesn't take a very strong PC to run, and it really looks beautiful even on medium settings. But the strong part of this game isn't it's graphics but it's incredibly addicting gameplay and interesting story. It isn't too much to say that story has a lot of twists and turns so that it doesn't become dull or boring throughout the course of a very long campaign. Campaign consists of 6 chapters( every chapter has 5 missions) and each chapter is played with a different hero. Game mechanics are easy to learn and the interface is simple and functional. That doesn't mean that the game is too simplified in any way. There are three difficulties for all kinds of players, so that people who are playing HoMM for the first time won't be overwhelmed 

    by aggressive AI. On the other hand HoMM veterans can test their abilites on harder difficulties. The only down side is that there are some missions that are really tricky on all difficulties. All in all this is a really great game that you should definitely play.  Also if you are a big HoMM fan keep an eye out for HoMM Kingdoms - a browser based version of this awsome game. 5 thumbs up!!!!!

With New World Computing, the developer behind the series, going out of business, the future of the Might and Magic series was in question. But then Ubisoft announced that it secured the rights to the Might and Magic series and that Nival Interactive would be devel...
