IGN Reviews – Might & Magic Heroes VI Game Review

26 Comments

1. this game was awsome i finshed all of its campains more than once

2. You forgot to mention: RANDOM BLACK SCREEN at battles or when you enter a city. No other fix than to quit and try again

3. The biggest win in 3 for me is how much map,appears on the main play screen. The move to 3D really restricted the amount I can see around me. I'd always be flicking back and forth from the mini map just to see whether to go left or right at a fork in the path in V and onwards. Also the combat was slooooooow in V and onwards. I'd turn animations off as much as AI could hit it still really dragged on. In 3 the game is wide open, the movement is snappy and quick and the combat is sharp. 3 to 5 is a case where adding 3D really detracted from the game for me.

4. Please actually give some context as to how this title compares to others in the series next time. Doesn't really do me any good to just hear the vantage point of a new player.

5. I never really understood the hate this game got. It sounds like people are mostly upset about Uplay connectivity, not the game itself?
   I loved this game. Personally I've been enjoying it just as much as Heroes 3 and probably even more than Heroes 5.
   I would definitely say this is my favourite Heroes game since the third installment.
   I too, have a lot of fond memories playing Heroes 3, but I honestly feel this game is superior in many ways. The gameplay is really solid, the music is AMAZING (definitely one of my favourite soundtracks of all time) and in general it just really felt like a really polished game. My two only complaints are: Required to use Uplay, and too few Skirmish maps.

6. Well the story is a bit meh.
   I mean Heroes V had a story that yes was split in 3 games but I still remember it after all these years.I played the game when I was like 6.

7. I have few questions regards gameplay:
   a. how do I change the auto-combat modes? it's always on or off when I play, permanently! what are the hotkeys? Help!
   b. why does the graphics load is so sick-slow?! I am on Athlon 2 X2 2.8 GHz, and the graphics load is stuck! why not optimize it?!

8. NO. RANDOM. MAP. GENERATOR.
   Nuff said.

9. Hello there my loveleys, My friend last night generated a free product key for this game with ax00ms ph00bas generator (Find it on Google or something. I cant remember the link) I used version 1.1.4 and it worked extremely good. Enjoy the game!

10. 3 and 5

11. Im playing HOMM since the first release and when it comes to this game im just like "meh"

12. you said the storyline is shit, but the campaign doesn't disappoint. wtf?

13. Heroes III FTW

14. I really dont see why so many people hate on this game.
    It's different yes, but most things were improvements. No more "wheel of fate" level up bullshit, we finaly get to pick our on skills completely on our own.

15. I love this game, but video is not a review, it is an add.

16. Game was god awful!!!

17. game is garbage …. yeah it looks pretty ..  but the game is just shit .  its just broken in too many ways to describe it here
    love how IGN just plain lies to people because they get payed by Shittysoft

18. Heros III is the best in this series, its the best balanced in both magic and might. Still playing it since i started playing it in 2000.

19. Lets take a moment to remember VI…
    Modding… nope (MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT).
    Offline play… yes, but useless.
    Editor… piece of crap.
    Bugs… dynasty weapons broke, black screen, freezing, etc. Never been fixed and never will be.
    AI… most cheating in all the series.
    Conflux… don't even get me started.
    Versions… worse than the Street Fighter franchise.
    Online play… half the people can't even start the game.
    Graphics… OK, at least this was good.
    Campaign… not great, but not bad either.
    Modding… mentioning it again.  I want my own portraits, custom spells, heroes, settings, etc. Not stock stuff I'm forced to use.

20. I've only ever player Heroes V, but damn was it a fucking piece of quality cloth…

21. this review reeks of payed off 

22. bluebeak is annoying lol

23. where is the 7 already ?

24. heroes 3 is the best

25. guys can u help how to to online with this game it said that restart the game to go online i really dont knw anyone help 

26. In the video, he said that in later battles it comes down to who got the most and the strongest troops. I haven't played the sixth installment but I know that in previous games you could easily win with the propper magic, even outnummberd greatly. Are there any deacent magic in this game?
