Heroes of Might and Magic V is an enjoyable game. It has been awhile since I played a Heroes game – I hardly played IV, though I did play III more than that. From everything I’ve read and been told, the game is like a ‘best-of’, combining the good parts of III and IV. Well, Nival did a good job of picking what to bring over and wrapped it all up in a gorgeous 3D engine. They’ve made some new introductions to the series, namely the initiative system. Heroes, while not jumping out into unfamiliar territory, is still a good game.
