ActionTrip has slapped up its review of the 'Winds of War' expansion pack to 3DO's/NWC's 'Heroes of Might & Magic IV', rating the add-on at 70%.
Here's a clip:First things first, we get six new campaigns, with the sixth campaign locked until the first five are complete (sound familiar?). Then, we also get 25 official scenario single-player maps developed by New World Computing and more than twenty maps developed by the most talented fans. Is this enough? No? Well, let's continue... HoMM IV: Winds of War also brings three new level four creatures: Catapult (Life), Frenzied Gnasher (Might) and Mega Dragon (Chaos), as well as five new heroes, each of them leading one of the basic campaigns: Mongo, Erutan Revol, Mysterio the Magnificent, Baron Von Tarkin and Spazz Maticuss; a Witch King and a friend of Megadragons, and my favorite character. This is plenty of new stuff as far as most players are concerned. Of course, for the more talented fans, the expansion pack also brings an advanced Campaign Editor which will let you access all heroes, items and creatures, etc. |
