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.

Heroes of Might and Magic V
Fun even though it crashes.

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!

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.59 of 85 people found this useful

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 of Might and Magic V
better than other reviews suggest

Yes its a return in many respects to HOMM III, but thats an all time great game, and this is a much better game than HOMM IV. Its beautiful, and plays without the crashes others describe on my intel imac. OSX 10.4.11. There are many downloadable scenarios on the web.

Heroes of Might and Magic V
Fun and Stable with 1.5 patch
Written by DG from Ladera Ranch

I recently purchased the game, I was a little reluctant because of the bad reviews but I'm glad I did now. It is a fun turn based strategy game. The game supports several different resolution settings and I have had no problems playing so far after several days of gameplay. Have yet to try online play but plan to do so soon. The campaigns are a little dry but the instant modes are fun.

Heroes of Might and Magic V
Premature releases are now common
Written by WT from New Castle

This game has wonderful turn based strategy, excellent graphics and design. When Heroes IV came out it had terrible crashes, many bugs, and other problems. Eventually (it took about 16 months) the game was fully patched and ran great. There were no problems that I recall with Heroes III. Potentially awesome games are being released too soon perhaps to meet the payroll. There is no other game that can compare with this game in this genre.
One of the greatest strategy games that I have ever played is now available for MAC ! When this game is fully patched, I am sure it will be worth 5 stars.18 of 42 people found this useful
