rastlin80: I've only really played part 3 which I played a lot, and actually still play. I didn't get the first 1 when it came out because I though I would be let down after playing 3 so much, but since some people hear like 2 as much as 3 or better I think i will give this one a try too.
You're right! I've enjoyed every single HoMM game, because each one brings new ideas, not revolutionary ones, but enough to change a little bit the gameplay and to renew the interest in the game. And frankly, I'm happy when there are good graphisms, but if the game is ugly but excellent, i still play it! So even if HoMM or HoMM II are far for the standards of games these days, i still play them with a lot of pleasure.
