Hero\'s of Might and Magic review

Don\'t bother

Ouch.

I rented it today and its going back tommorow

For starters I can name an easy dozen PSX games with better graphics

and gameplay is just lame

I can\'t even stomach giving this one a chance

Didn\'t 3DO make it?

Does anyone else see something severely wrong that 3DO has 4 games out for the PS2 already? Not to mention 3 of them are friggin\' Army Men games!!!

Though, I must admit, I have been tryin\' to get my friend to buy the game, just to see how bad it sucked (and for a good laugh).

On a sidenote; could you be more specific Ddaryl? What is lame about the gameplay? I read a review in GameInformer (I think) that said it was a pretty cool game. Don\'t quote me on that. But, I do remember one of the magazines saying it was worth a chance.

1st this is Heros of Might and Magic, NOT Warriors of Might and Magic, bith are out on the PS2


1st you get to pick one of 4 characters. All with slightly different atributes



You buy some troops. Peasnats, Archers, etc...  You are this horse and you gallop around on a map till you bump into another character. This  puts you in battle mode

Battle mode is a chessboard, each of your troops can move differently depending on class, and attack differently again dependant on class

You and your enemies are represented with 1 character. If you have archers Peasants and soldiers you will have 3 Characters on the chess board. If you have 10 archers 100 Peasants and 20 soldiers you will have 3 characters on the chess board representing each character class.

When you attack or enemies attack a -1, -3, -5, -10 will appear above the head of the character thus showing you how many hitpoint or troops you lost or damaged.


Basically you move choose who you want to attack then watch

You  will build  up magic strength in the game and stuff and armies as well, but with out graphic splendor or multiple characters on screen to show off these troops , and lack of any real visual delight... WHO CARES !


Overall The graphics are so piss poor MGS, Vagrant Story FFiX on the PSX look as good or even better.


The game is nothing special definetly nothing Next gen about it. Attacks and SPells are  as generic looking as can be. Strategy may come into play later on, but the early taste is jsut plain

I might goof with it again tonight before I take it back tommorrow  but I\'m not sure I really can stomach even trying

The game is that bad, well 3DO must overhaul their graphics engine and start all over.  

Didn\'t 3DO make it?

Nope. Apperently some developer caled "  New World Computing" developed this game. But obviously it didn\'t make a difference.

Anyhoo, Daily Radar gave said this game was a hit. I believe you ddaryl when you say this games sucks but maybe it\'s not a game for everyone. Then again Daily Radar is totally devoted to PS2 and usually tends to make the best out of every PS2 game so your probably right.

ahhh. My bad man. I thought you meant Warriors: Of might and Magic.

Sorry, about that.

I rented it today because Ring of Red was a cool strategy game and DR said this was a cool Strategy Game


To me this game was built on a budget that will make a profit if every rental place in the US buys 1 copy and a few stragglers by a copy

I h8 it too. This game blows. It\'s down there with RoR and ZOE for me, and everyone knows hove much I h8 them....

yeah the game sux bad, i mean really bad. i said it was the worst game for ps2 in "the worst ps2 game" thread. It sucked so bad i went back to blockbuster and asked for another game.

This is a rediculous comment

RoR is a damn cool game, so is ZOE.

Maybe not AAA but no way in hell you could possibly even consider these games in the same ballpark at Heroes

I sure do. I don\'t think they are worth the plastic they were pressed on. I h8 them so much I want to kill the developers, AND their families.... heh....

No kidding! I love ZOE...... and what the hell-o is RoR?

RoR = Ring of Red

Both ZOE and Ring of Red are solid B games

Heroes is an F

ETHUGG are you talking about Warriors of Might and Magic or Heroes of Might and Magic

1 different Games. Heroes is bad for a PSX game let alone a PS2 game
