GameSpot falls in line with the -so far- very positive reviews of Heroes of Might & Magic 4, rating the game at 8.8 out of 10 which equals "great" on their verbal rating scale.
Here's a teaser:
Heroes IV does an even better job of being this addictive. This is true, thanks to its well-designed maps, which are all jam-packed with treasures, resources, artifacts, and event-triggering buildings that can do all sorts of things, including temporarily strengthening your heroes, giving them quests, and letting them recruit new creatures for their armies. And despite the fact that Heroes IV has no multiplayer options to speak of, there's no shortage of maps to keep you busy. The game itself has six full campaign games, lots of individual scenario maps, and a full campaign editor that lets you create your own custom scenario maps (and connect them into a custom campaign if you wish). You'll also find a typical game session packed with different options to choose. You'll have to choose the composition of your armies wisely, as well as choose from a great variety of skills that your heroes will learn as they grow stronger.
