5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent refresh to the Might and Magic franchise.
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2011
Platform For Display: PCEdition: StandardVerified Purchase
I have been playing Might and Magic Heroes VI for about 10 hours now and absolutely love it. I have played Heroes 2,3, and 5 fairly extensively and would say this game measures up very well to its predecessors.
The game has been nerfed a bit compared to heroes 3 or 5, but seems very well balanced. I wasn't sure reading about some of the changes that were made if I would like them or not. I have found that all of the changes the developer has implemented to be welcome, maybe making a slightly more shallow experience, but terrific nonetheless.

I have played through parts of the campaign in the other series, but really none of them sucked me in at all. Heroes 5 was not too bad. Black Hole Games, the developer behind Heroes VI has really put a lot of effort into the story of this title. The voice acting is very good, and the scripting is well done as well. Has a well thought out plot, although I am not very far into the story yet. It will be a very long game it appears.

The game looks wonderful. Beautiful creature and character animations, the musical score fits very well and I like it very much.

I have a fairly powerful gaming computer (2500k @4.8ghz, GTX580) and the game plays flawlessly, however I cannot comment how it runs on lesser machines, my GPU is usually working at about 35%, so I would say any fairly modern computer with a halfways decent discrete video card should handle it just fine.
I have not had a chance to try it on another computer yet; I wanted to do a quick review because of the reviews up on Amazon. I don't feel they are indicative of the quality of this game. This is not a 2 star game don't worry.

There are only a couple complaints that I have. The game is a bit buggy, most notably is the blinking cursor problem that seems to be fairly widespread. Also there is strange audio glitch after combat, where my army "cheers" in high-pitched voices. This does not hinder the gameplay, is just a little annoying. There are a few graphical glitches here and there, but mostly seems well polished.

My biggest gripe is Ubisoft's DRM measures. This implementation is much less intrusive than other Ubisoft games such as Assassin's Creed, and Settlers 7. You are required to activate online, which is no big deal and perfectly understandable. You are then allowed to play the entire single player game offline afterwords. However, if you do decide to play the campaign online, you cannot use your offline save, or vise versa. Once you have started you will have to continue either online or off, unless you want to start over.
I don't believe Ubi's DRM is to combat piracy like they claim (they most certainly do little to stop this), but to stop used game sales. Although it is perfectly legal to resell a game, publishes do not like it, as they do not get paid.
The DRM in this game is not enough to turn me off, although I will not support Ubisoft's always online DRM.

Any fan of turn based games of this type, or previous Heroes should give this one a go.

So to Summerize:
PROS:
Pretty Visuals/Animations
Well told story-good voice acting
Should please Heroes fans
Addicting Gameplay

CONS:
Still a bit buggy
DRM is a bit annoying

Also I should note that I purchased a digital copy from Amazon, which worked very well. Good download speed, and install was a breeze.

3.0 out of 5 stars innovative ideas - terrible execution
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2012
Platform For Display: PCEdition: StandardVerified Purchase
This is my first Amazon review after at least 10 years of being a customer, and I felt compelled to post my experiences with this product for a number of reasons, primarily as a bit of a heads-up for folks considering 'renting' this game from Ubisoft. That's right, I said 'rent', because essentially that's pretty much what you're doing - and it would seem the landlord reserves the right to deny you access to the property at will/whim, no notice given, no explanation required. Simply put - if their 'cloud' is for any reason not available at any time - you can't access any prior games in progress - _including_ single-player scenarios (and current gameplay/progress is lost!). Folks may nitpick about "offline" play etc. - but the simple truth is that there is no mechanism to cache/store your progress. While there are likely technical solutions to this situation - at the moment, they don't exist, and that's a grand shame, because this game is an excellent example of a product that boasts many innovative gameplay features (which, I must admit it took me a little while to come to understand & appreciate, being a somewhat jaded fan of the prior HoMM releases) Other folks have done a good job of describing these, so I won't bother repeating them here - I would only say that I like the new take on this series as far as the game mechanics etc. are concerned. That's why I am so disappointed with the execution, ad it makes me wonder about the folks responsible. Firstly, I'd have to say that I don't believe this product was properly tested, particularly using folks with some background experience with the franchise, as I've had far too many "huh?" moments as I've played the game. If you want particulars, feel free to visit the various forums dedicated the the game, you won't have to search long to discover what I am referring to - but as an example, here's one that boggles me - heroes that occupy the same town (garrison and visitor) _cannot_ exchange artifacts/units - there is no mechanism available - one of them must step outside one pace so the other can initiate an exchange. How this simple function escaped the "QA" folks (along with the myriad others) is what makes me suspect that the 'testing' done was haphazard at best. I won't go into details about the initial bugginess of the released game - I am sure others have done so already - I'd only say that the game was basically unplayable until the 1.2 patch came out - now it has about the same amount of bugs as (unfortunately) most games initially do these days. As far as pet peeves/'wish list' items - here are a few of mine: First, let us pan/tilt the camera freely as we could in Heroes 5 - currently the view is 'fixed' at a certain angle - you can rotate the camera but it always returns to the default view. It's a shame, because the graphics in HoMM 6 are quite nice and a better view would only let me appreciate them more. Second - "overcommunicate!" - unlike Heroes 5 and prior versions, many of the calculations/effects do not have 'tooltips' to break down the 'why'. For example - the town screen or even the 'kingdom overview' does not indicate what factors are contributing to creature growth. Also, the 'event log' is overly simplified (besides being immovable and in an irritatingly annoying position at the top left) - give us back the log in v5, or better yet - something along the lines of the log in Neverwinter Nights 1/2 (which may be a bit much for folks but I want to know if my actions are paying off or not) Third, remove the 'town portal between towns' building/feature. This in combination with the 'town portal to nearest' (keep this) and 'all creatures available at all locations' leads to a strategy where building up one 'uber-hero' and simply bouncing around the map is the only effective one, and makes the process of building up other, secondary heroes pretty much pointless. I could go on (and many folks have in the forums) but the bottom line is that the execution here was poor, and perhaps that's being kind.

My advice would be to hold off on this purchase until two things occur: The patch level and the price point rise & fall respectively to make the somewhat minor frustrations worth your time, but more importantly - they devise a means where you may continue play without the requirement of a constant, always-online connection - particularly for single-player games. Thanks for your patience.

2.0 out of 5 stars Doesnt live up to expectations
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2012
Platform For Display: PCEdition: StandardVerified Purchase
I wanted very much to like the new Might & Magic Heroes VI having played the series since it came out. However MM VI is turning out to be an exercise in frustration. Despite numerous patches problems still exist that many players have commented on on sites like Celestial Heavens. Perhsps the biggest issue, however, is the need to log on and play while connected to access many of the features from earlier games in the series. For example, in V, prior to starting a section of a campaign a player is usually given a choice of items to start that scenario with. You can only do this if online. Getting online is a chore. Many times it takes several attempts before one can connect. It is not unusual for the game to crash or disconnect after a few minutes. Then its back to hoping you can log back on. You can play offline but the fact you only get a "partial" game when doing so is a huge mistake. The online option should have been for extras like storing results or sharing with friends, not essential to playing the whole game.

Bottom line, you will feel like you are playing a Beta and not a fully formed game. While many fine games have gone through a period of patching by now they are usually running fine. Various video glitches, items which dont function they way they are supposed to, clunky interface and game play issues make this an exercise in frustration. The company, while aware of these issues, appears more intent on issuing an add on with new scenarios and campaign then they are in making the basic engine work.

After spending tons of time installing the product (multiple updates and way too slow) and having to sign up for the Ubisoft online account in order to enable Ubisoft Connect (mandatory feature), once it finally was ready to go technically, wasn't even able to launch the game as the product key indicated on the CD "already in use by another user". Good learning for me never buy used products on Amazon. If I could rate this product a zero, I would.

The game is alright, though I prefer Heroes V but that may just be because I've played it for the past ten years.
Although the game wouldn't start right away and I had to manually download some updates since it wouldn't do it through the game system - kept coming up with errors. After the manual download though, the game worked fine!
