Eurogamer informs us that they have written a review of Heroes of Might & Magic 4. They seem to be rather disappointed with the game, since their rating is just 6/10 - and their summary reflects their low score:
Heroes IV might offer prettier graphics than its predecessors, although the unit animations are still laughable in many cases, but the gameplay is, if anything, a step backwards. Mission balance is still a mess, the designers still can't write decent dialogue, multiplayer support has gone AWOL, and battles can be incredibly frustrating now that your heroes are just another battlefield unit, wide open to attack. The old Heroes magic is still in there, and it's sure to provide a reasonable challenge for hardcore fans of the series, but it's not the leap forwards for the series that we were hoping for. |
