3/2     Opinions on HoM&M III ?  Is it as good as the others (especially
        for someone who's never played any of the others, like me)
         - seidl
        \_ Reviews say its just like the others.  Evolution, not revolution.
           Try a demo for one of the earlier games.  Same idea.  You either
           like that sort of game or you don't.  I enjoyed the earlier games
           although like many games they got a bit tedious at the end, but
           not especially so.  I haven't played III yet though.
           \_ Well, if I really like MoM or MoO II, will I like this?
                \_ MOO is a different genre.  MoM is very similiar.  Certainly
                   the same genre of games but has it's own twist, of course.
                   I'd say if you liked MoM, then you'd probably like the
                   first two HoMM games which are probably 95% the same as
                   III.  As I said though, haven't played III yet.
        \_ I liked #2 and #1 and King's Bounty, and this one really, really
           is more of the same.  Freakin' boring.  Hero micromanagement
           gets nuts.  Maps are huuuuge.  Argh.
                \_ To each his own.  I like the micromanagement thing.  The
                   FPS frag fest is amusing for a while, but really....
                   \_ it's like, I was watching someone play both HOMM3 and
                      Alpha Centauri, and I liked Alpha Centauri a lot more.
                      Even though it's like the same ol Civ1/2 micromgmt,
                      all the tech stuff was interesting reading.
