Heroes of Might and Magic V
Back to the basics
Written by TM from WICHITA
Sep 28, 2009
I've played many incarnations of this game. From the early days until now. If you were fond of the earlier versions this is a much better game than HOMM 4. I also feel like the stories are a more integrated part of the game now as well. Very well done.

2 Stars Given
Pros:
Great graffics. If you liked HOMM3, this is very similar. Changed names and base creatures to races.
Cons:
No custom maps as far as custom games. Crash problem MUST be fixed.
Overall, I would not purchase this product until they fixed the stability issues.14 of 16 people found this useful

Heroes of Might and Magic V
Works perfectly fine on my 2006 (black) mac book
Written by RS from MOUNT JACKSON

I've been a huge fan of the previous hero games, and this one beats them by far. When I first got the game, I only have 1 gig on memory, and it would run fine for 3-5 hrs, then it would get laggy. But once I upgraded to 2 gig memory, it runs perfectly fine. I've never had the game crash on me, even when I had 1 gig of memory. This is highly addicted once you get going, be aware.

Once You Download the Patch, This is an Awesome game!
Written by RS from Seven Hills

I have been a fan of Heroes of Might & Magic since Heroes II. This latest version is excellent after you download the patch.
Since this game is fairly mature I am disappointed the copy I just bought in July of 2008 does not have the latest most up-to-date version. I hate downloading patches! Patches are for Windows gamers! Grrr.41 of 44 people found this useful

Heroes of Might and Magic V
Fun even though it crashes.
Written by BT from Santa Cruz
Jun 25, 2008
I really liked this game. I could play it for hours and hours and hours if it didn't crash so often. I noticed it works a lot better and lasts a lot longer on a MacBook Pro than on a MacBook, for some reason. Overall the game is difficult and I definitely lost way more rounds against the computer than I won. The graphics are cool and the animations are fun and the battle type is pretty spectacular if you up all the effects to max. I only ever had problems on it randomly crashing every once in a while, I just suggest playing it and saving often.

Great Game- how to fix the flaw!
Written by BS

Lots of people complain that this game crashes, erases their files, etc.... These are serious problems that Freeverse needs to deal with, especially if they release the sequels, and I hope they do.
However, I found a solution to the above problems with the current 1.51 version. All the crashes on my computer happened after 2 hours of play. The last 6 months I've been testing my theory. I have confirmed it. On my computer a new, but only mid range Mac, if I just save and quit after two hours I have no problems with files, crashing, or anything. Try it. You might play a little less, or a little slower, but hey, people say that's good for you. I've found that I savor the game more this way.58 of 84 people found this useful

No Major Problems But Not Flawless
Written by DB from GLASGOW
Apr 27, 2008
I'm currently running the MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz and I've had little to no problems with running this game. The graphics are great, the game play is addictive but little to no development in game play variety. For what Heroes is, I'd recommend it to others who like games such as Age of Empires or Command and Conquer.
The problems i have faced though are when you minimise the game to read emails or something else, it will either crash or the opposing teams will stop moving. It also randomly crashes if your processor gets too warm but you just turn your fan up on your computer to solve that problem.
All in all, Thumps up to this.39 of 69 people found this useful

Had fun right up until it crashed miserably. Then the support on it failed to help me at all do not purchase it.

In order to be playable you must download the update. Still occasionally problematic but probably worth it to people who enjoyed the previous versions.

Heroes V
Written by JU from Upland

Despite the bugs that are still being worked out, and hopefully will be fixed in patches, Heroes V remains a fantastic game. The graphics, the game play, and the storyline are all top notch. I am very happy with this game and wait expectantly for the expansions to arrive for Mac.
