Tom Chick reviewed Heroes of Might and Magic V for Yahoo. He praises the graphics, the single-player mode ("single-player is, by and large, right on the money") and the aggressivity of the computer player. However, the lack of a map editor, the tiny printed documentation and the badly-written in-game help hurt the game's final score. The state of the multiplayer component was a disappointment to the author:

"As of a week after the game's release in Europe, multiplayer support is in an awful state. Games fall out of sync and the ghost tricks seem to break the game more than they help it."

While we wait for the Gamespot and GameSpy reviews, we will work on a summary of all the reviews we missed until now. This will give everyone a better idea of Heroes V's critical success so far.
