Just to clear things up before you start reading: I've played the original Heroes of Might and Magic 3 for over 2500 hours.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow. Just wow.

It feels like Ubisoft loves to mess with their customers. Maybe that's the reason they keep doing it over and over again. Or are they just trying to beat EA for being the worst company in the gaming industry?! I guess we'll never know...

- No random map generator. Long term motivation? NOPE! (Yes, I know that there is a map generator available, but it's not the randomized one I'm talking about.)
- One fraction is missing.
- No LAN support.
- Both DLC's/Addons are missing.
- [Bug] You have to click for every single moving point of your heroes. Having (e.g.) 100 moving points available will result in 100 clicks you have to make.
- [Bug] Beside that, the map will reposition itself after every single step, so you have to "re-aim" 100 times as well - ON EVERY HERO, ON EVERY SINGLE DAY.
- Considering the before mentioned things the price tag of 14,99 € feels like a huge smack in the face (I paid 9,99 € for HoMM3 Complete, including 2 discs).

+ Overall better graphics, although the "old" version wasn't looking that bad tbh.
+ Support for high resolutions.

The only thing that would make this game more ridiculous would've been the integration of Ubisoft's beloved 30 FPS cap to make the game look more "cinematic".

Conclusion: I was hoping to finally get my hands on a visually more appealing version of Heroes of Might and Magic 3. and I got f'ed hard. I really don't recommend anyone to buy this, unless Ubisofts comes up with some updates.

Thanks, Ubisoft.

Its a shame 3DO had to go bankrupt. Although Heroes 4 wasn't their best work, it was still a good game. Imagine what this series would look like if they still were in the industry

Did you know that there's a free addon for the gog.com available original version of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (which itself costs several dollars less than this Steam version, and additionally includes all expansions) that adds support for high definition resolutions while also introducing features not seen in this version and fixing bugs that are seen in this version? Factor in the original version of Heroes 3 being cheaper than this version and you'd have to be crazy to go with this.

You can get the addon here: https://sites.google.com/site/heroes3hd/

You might also like to take note of the free, fan-made expansion and update Horn of the Abyss, available here: http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=39830

Ubisoft WTH? I'm done with you I will never buy a game from you again. Like last year did not buy a game from you it was FAIL after FAIL.

There really was no necessity to play the game for more than 0.2 hours to find out the things I mentioned in my review, since I've played the original Heroes of Might and Magic 3 for well over 2500 hours.
