The bad reviews are all out-dated: This game is great!

If you're a diehard afn of HoMM 3 you're going to love 7. It has many of the classic elements of 3 but with better graphics.

The bugs and glitches people have complained about have since been patched out. In addition, there is an Unofficial Community Patch which resolves all the other problems Ubisoft hadn't addressed. It adds unit diversity through unique abilities, failed procs are fixed, and I have had no issue with hosting multiplayer with friends.

Best of all, in online Multiplayer you can have SIMULATENOUS TURNS! That's right, no more waiting around hotseat fashion for your friends to finish their turn, human players now take their turns simultaneously! That by itself made it worth the purchase of an extra copy for my gf who is still learning the game.

Do yourself a favor, buy the game. Download the Unofficial Community Patch (installation is stupid easy) and start enjoying yourself. You deserve it.
