"Let's play this wonderful game online!!!"

GAMEPLAY - The gameplay for this game is alright. You click where you want to move in battle, type stuff in to talk to friends, click the mouse for what category to select. This game's fun is unbelievable! You battle against people, and find certain items! This game's difficulty is what you want it to be. It ranges from Normal, Hard, Very Hard and Impossible. Impossible is literally Impossible! If you want a major challenge, choose either Very Hard or Impossible. The gameplay get's a nice 9.

CONTROLS - The controls of this game is great. When you're in a battle, you click where you want to move. If you want to move somewhere on the map, just click. If you see a red arrow, that means you have to wait until your next turn to move for the over world map. If you see an X while in battle, it means you can't move there. You'll have to wait until your next battle turn to move there. In battle, you can select if you wish to see how far you can move, the hex grid, and where you are moving. If you click on the enemy, you can see it's status left. You can click on yourself to see your status. If you hit the spell book at the bottom, you can cast a spell. You can choose to have an auto battle, surrender, retreat, etc. in the battle. On the over world, you can see what other castles the enemies got if they are a computer, if they got an artifact as a bonus, etc. There are a lot of things to do in the over world and battle just by clicking the mouse. The control's get a rank of a 9.

STORY - The story of this game is to defeat all your enemies, find the grail, find a certain Artifact. You also have to defeat a hero, conquer a castle, defeat a certain enemy and accumulate a certain amount of resources. There are all sorts of stories. The story rank is a nice 9.

SOUNDS - The sounds in this game is great. You hear great sounds in the background and in the castles. You can hear a lot of sounds like swords clashing, and the voice in the campaigns. The sound also get's a 9.

MUSIC - The music is this game is nice. You hear music depending on your location, as if you are in the desert, grass or even the dirt! If you are in a castle, it is a different music theme. If you're in a campaign, another different type of music. This is practically the best part of the game, because it get's a 10!

VIDEO - The only video in this game is the campaigns and when you win/lose the game. It is all good, but I would of liked more video parts. That is why it get's an 8.

RE PLAYABILITY - You should replay this game a lot. Only the campaigns are beat able, and there are quite a bit of them. You should replay this game until you are sick of it.

RENT OR BUY - Buy. It is a great game, but I would buy Heroes of Might and Magic Complete, which includes Heroes 3, this game and Shadow of Death.
