GameSpy Reviews Heroes VI
My resources get drained as my armies increase in size. My enemies travel 3x further each turn in spite of my increased land movement perks. It seems to me that the AI cheats. The AI's favorite "trick" is to sit between your towns and reach the one you do not teleport to. Unfair movement is a ridiculous advantage. I would rate this as the worst Heroes game in the series and will be my last. As the game progresses, many bugs surface and the game bogs down (Rise to Power map). I have a 4 core i7 system w/ 1GB video RAM and 8 GB RAM on Vista Pro.

Wow, I was going to ask someone to buy me Heroes 6 for Christmas until I read these reviews. Even though I believe I have a perfectly reliable internet connection (Verizon Fios, and never had problems with Starcraft 2 and being online) the DRM and losing game play features really turn me off.
Also, did the guy who wrote this review for GamePro ever even play previous heroes games? I don't think so from this comment.

Did the guy never hear of hiring more units from your own town? As long as you pay the same price for those extra troops that's not cheating. And then monsters on the map gaining in numbers each week, it's been that way in like every single heroes game.And they'll need it: players of the Heroes games have complained about the A.I. "cheating" over the years. In this case, it appears that every enemy stack gains units each week. This includes those units just hanging out on the map along with those in towns and fortifications

Yeah, but just about everything else he says is exactly correct. Its a great game hiding underneath a poorly-implemented online infrastructure.

Not having played Heroes 6 yet I'll agree that most of what he said did sound perfectly accurate about the heroes series.CloudRiderX wrote:Yeah, but just about everything else he says is exactly correct. Its a great game hiding underneath a poorly-implemented online infrastructure.
Forcing you to be online for a game like Heroes of Might and Magic is really stupid though, it's not even a game that's usually met to be played online. Most of the fun is playing through the single player campaigns, and some of the single player custom maps.
I've played a few Heroes 3 maps on multi-player with my brother and it wasn't that great, simply because we human's take forever to make our turns most of the time. And this was us playing together as allies being able to witness all the battles we each got into.
It shouldn't be so bad. According Irina you can play it offline too. Without Dynasty system of course.

From what I've read on the forum, this seems to sum up a lot.Ultimately, Might & Magic Heroes VI is a good game, but one buried underneath its own bugs and DRM. It’s a game that is worth buying eventually, but proves the idea that some games just shouldn’t be bought at launch.

Yes, although I also agree with his advice: to wait a while until the kinks are worked out, but buy it eventually since the potential is so high. Hopefully, when the editor is fixed, the game's replayability will also be higher.
