Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Succession Wars

Heroes of Might and Magic I has already been deemed a classic by many, winning strategy gaming awards from almost all the major gaming press. Now, in Heroes II, you get more characters, more artifacts, more terrain types, two new character classes (Necromancer and Wizard), nicer graphics and 6 rather than 4 person multiplayer capability. The graphics are great, the music is great and the gameplay is extremely addictive -- consider yourself warned. Heroes II is destined to be a classic. If you want to get a feel of the game, try the demo for Heroes I for the time being, and realize that Heroes II is even better. This game will sit on my current system's hard drive along with X-COM: UFO Defense and other classics for as long as the hard drive lives.

Scenarierne i Heroes of Might and Magic 2 er store, varierede og utrolig udfordrende. Desuden er histroien god, og det er absolut ikke et spil, man gennemfører den første måned.

Even though three years have passed since the mighty Lord Ironfist passed away, the succession war between his sons is still running. The prelude to this tragic story began when the Royal seer died in a boating accident, just before he could designate who among the two sons of Lord Ironfist would become king. His successors weren't any luckier. They all died in similar curious accidents, one falling from a window, another slain by a dragon, and the third poisoned. Accused by his brother Archibald of the four mysterious deaths, Roland fled the castle, which provided Archibald with the best time to influence the new Royal seer. Not surprising, he later proclaimed himself King.

Heroes of Might and Magic II is een spel waar ik alles voor laat staan. Het heeft niet het adrenaline pompend effect van Doom of de schitterende videopracht van de Wing Commander reeks, maar het heeft des te meer spelplezier. Het is een verslaving, zoals een goed strategiespel zou moeten zijn. Een aanrader voor elke turn based strategie, fantasy of RPG-fanaat.

In short, everything that was captivating about the original Heroes of Might and Magic has been improved in Heroes of Might and Magic II. This is a must-have for fans of the first title and will provide an engaging experience for strategy gamers entering the Heroes universe for the first time.

The original Heroes of Might and Magic was a great game for avid fantasy readers and D&D cultists because it fleshed out the pencil-and-paper universe they admired. Not only did it animate this universe, it made it strategically engaging, letting players pursue quests using carefully cultivated resources, army recruits, and spells. New World Computing has now released the sequel, Heroes of Might and Magic II, and while it still retains the same play structure as the original, the bundles of new elements in the game coupled with richer graphics and more detailed character animations should have fans of the first adventure eagerly donning their gauntlets for a second round.

There was a time, a couple of years ago, when solid, highly respectable strategy games were the PC’s staple diet. Today, good examples are a rare commodity, and Heroes of Might and Magic II fits squarely in this category.

Alle Strategiehasser aufgepaßt: Dieses Spiel könnte etwas für Sie sein! Wo viele Genrevertreter mit realistischen Gefechtssimulationen oder beeindruckender Optionsopulenz aufwarten, geht Heroes 2 die Sache geruhsam an. Man reitet rundenweise mit seinen Helden umher, sammelt Schätze und Truppen - und hat die ganze Zeit Spaß. Kaum ein anderes Programm liefert dem Spieler so viele Erfolgserlebnisse.

Wer mit Strategie- und Rollenspielen liebäugelt, vor komplizierten Regelwerken aber zurückschreckt, liegt bei HoMM 2 goldrichtig. Der WarCraft 2-ähnliche Spielverlauf und die schöne Präsentation gewähren auch Genre-Einsteigern einen guten Einblick in die Welt der Magier und Krieger. Ein Schwachpunkt ist nach wie vor die Fairneß des Computers, der die gegnerische Position und Truppenstärke frecherweise stets richtig einschätzt.
