Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I played Heroes III earlier this year at a friend's house, and I was hooked.I was about to buy the Mac version when I saw that 3do was finally coming out with the expansion set for Mac.The only flaw in this game is that it sucks up your time.If you are not careful, that "one more turn" can keep you up until the rooster crows and it's time for work.
The game is a nice combination of role-playing and strategy games.I prefer turn-based games like this to real-time games like Warcraft, as it is based more on strategy and less on dexterous mouse-clicking.This game is also great for multiplayer, either online with Game Ranger, or the hotseat version with multiple players taking turns on the same computer.The only caveat is that the first player seems to have a better starting position in most scenarios.
The only critisms of this port would be the lack of the map and scenario editors which are available in the PC versions.While there are plenty of scenarios and the randomly generated maps are challenging enough, it would be fun to create your own.The other is that the manual, which should have been printed and not just included on the CD so that you can use it while playing the game, is not comprehensive and uses the tired scam of trying to get you to spend more money to figure out how to win the thing.
That said, I can't think of a better game to buy for the Mac.This one was well worth the wait.
