Fans of the earlier Heroes Of Might & Magic PC games, however, will be shocked at how dumbed-down their beloved strategy game has become on the PS2.

No longer 2D or turn-based, HOMAM on the PS2 isn't as deep as might be expected, but it's fast, easy to learn and the battles are incredibly fun.

The graphics are not jaw dropping, but as is the case with most strategy games, this really doesn't matter. In the end, it's the quality of the gameplay that counts.

Beautifully underrated game. It's actually a remake of King's Bounty for DOS. It's very faithful and succeeds in every way.

Mal foutu, un portage de la célèbre licence à la va-vite sur PS2. Très vilain et trop simpliste, voilà qui ne va pas réconcilier la console avec le tour par tour : tout y est incroyablement bâclé et peu reluisant comme une vieille poubelle qu'on a pas vidée depuis 3 semaines. Baltringues de héros !

Stratego meets Braveheart in this entertaining and simple game.

Heroes distills the great battle sequences from the PC version and delivers them in a fun, relatively deep game that’s good looking, moderately fast, and that doesn’t falter particularly badly in one area.

A renter. Even a close source to me who is a long time devotee to the series seemed a bit uncertain as to whether or not he was impressed with the game.

I haven't seen such lame animations since the early days of Sega Genesis. This is supposed to be the PlayStation2 for crying out loud. How difficult is it to do create some cool fighting animations?

While some hardcore gameplay fans may appreciate the purity of this experience, the plot and lack of characters is so glaring, I find it hard to believe even so-called "hardcore gamers" won't find it annoying.

If you love this series on PC then stick to it there because the essence of what makes HMM is just hinted at on PS2.
