There is a fairly brief review of version 1.5 of the Mac version of Heroes of Might and Magic V at Macworld. After a plot summary and a general description of the gameplay, the article focuses mostly on the pros and cons of the Mac port and the Cider technology (which prevents the game from running on anything but Intel Macs).

"It’s perhaps worth considering that Heroes of Might & Magic V was TransGaming’s first public effort to “ciderize” a Windows game, so there has been a learning curve involved—it hasn’t helped that the earlier build of HOMM V was plagued by bugs that affected the Windows version, and that obviously affected the Mac version too."

Six months after the release of the Mac port, we can wonder if the Hammers and Tribes expansions will ever get ported to this platform. Doubtful I'd say.
