- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2016Platform: PC DownloadVerified PurchaseThe down load went well, however the installation was brutal, and my computer is still not fully functional, now it is taking forever to boot back up, after this bad installation. During the entire installation process, I received and error message half way true the process, so I hit ignore about ten times just to finish the installation, after the nightmare installation process was over, I attempted to use the access code to run the game, and I also received and error code stating to contact the originator because the file is corrupted. So no game time for me!
on a different not the game is only 5 99, yet they charge 3.99 for shipping, why? this is a digital download, I'm also retarded for buying it.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2014Platform: PC DownloadVerified PurchaseI played this game with my brother when we were kids. I loved it. After growing up a bit, I was feeling nostalgic and decided to purchase this game for myself. When I originally purchased it, everything worked wonderfully. That said, I was on a Windows Vista computer.
After saving up some cash, I upgraded my system, and ended up on a Windows 8 OS. The game wouldn't work. Oh, it installed fantastically, even updated like it was supposed to. But when I tried to activate it, I got an "unexpected error 13:6". Most people have said that it won't work on a W8 computer, but I was determined. After contacting Ubisoft directly and speaking with customer support, you can, infact, run this on Windows 8.. with a little bit of patience. If you follow the instructions below and update your tages drivers (I didn't even know I had those), you can play the game smoothly and happily.
Below is a snippet of the conversation with the support rep (who btw was fantastic):
Chad H: You need to update your Tages drivers which can be found on the following website below. Tages is the system used when activating your game and can sometimes have issues if the latest drivers are not installed.

The driver download link is at the bottom of the page.
After installing, let me know if you continue to get the error when activating your game.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2011Platform: PCVerified PurchaseThis game decided to focus too much on graphics rather than game play. Those people who played and enjoyed heroes 4 or 3 will be sorely disappointed at the game play in this game. The over the top view has changed and in some cases the more 3d look causes frame rate issues that were not caused by my computer's capabilities. Also, for those people who loved the ability to move your character in 3, this is not a feature.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2009Platform: PCVerified PurchaseI played HOMM V until I got to the end of one of the senarios where it would lock up . I took the game back to the store two times , But the game still froze up at the end of the same senario . So I sent the game back to the company like I have done before with other game companies . Ubisoft sent my game back to me with a letter saying I had to call , Or email them for payment info before they could fix the game , And top of that the game looked like someone stepped on it . It was smashed . I'm not going to pay them to fix a game they could not make right in the first place . I sent the game back to them with a letter of my own . I never had this problem with any of the other game companies , Because they would just send me a new game , & I didn't have to pay anything . I wish 3DO was still making the HoMM series .
- Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2010Platform: PCVerified PurchaseHeroes of Might and Magic is the Fifth installment in the Heroes of Might and Magic, Dungeons and Dragons style saga...originally coined and designed by now defunct software and gaming company 3DO, Ubisoft has picked up and rolled with the Heroes concept. Now, Heroes V, which would be second only to the brilliant; and quicker paced Heroes III, adds splendid graphic sequences, fluid game-play, and incredibly addicting and challenging campaigns. The first person style attack from your main controllable warrior is a nice twist previously unavailable in earlier installments. The challenge in this game is souping up your cities, armies and spreading quickly over the map before the AI, which plays very skillfully!
I would highly recommend this game !

- Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2012Platform: PC DownloadVerified PurchaseThe game Heroes V is sweet. Its the coolest RPG game I've ever played. However buying the download version from amazon was the worst idea I've ever had. 1.5 hours my @$$... Try multiple 3 hour plus downloads and I still haven't even got the game to install!! I'm extremely upset. If anyone has any ideas on how to better my experience please help! I've tried all the trouble shooting stuff and nothing is working. Don't ever buy a download what a waste of a day and my money...
- Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2011Platform: PC DownloadVerified PurchaseI love this game! I bought this game after playing "Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East" and it's still great! I was actually kind of happy that I didn't have to play as the Dwarf race this time (man do they get suck!), although Barbarians are missing from this version too (since it came out before Tribes of the East).
One thing that I really like is the Duel mode seems to be A LOT fairer than in the Tribes of the East game. Usually when I play with my friend it is a close game but in Tribes of the East one of us would always own the other, depending on the combination of heroes that we used.
I also really liked the amount of campaigns there were, I've been playing for ages and only just finished! Definitely worth the money :D
I do miss the fact that there are no caravans to take the units from your outposts to your town, so you have to go and get them yourself, and it would be nice if the units in the outposts had a choice of upgrade like they do in the town. Sometimes it's quite annoying when you have no room in your army and you have to make room for your outpost monsters but since they are downgrades of the ones that you already have, they don't fit in your army!
Overall, an AMAZING game, can't wait to purchase Heroes VI :D

4.0 out of 5 stars まずまずの出来
Platform: PCVerified PurchaseHOMM久々の新作です。開発元はNivalに変わっていますが、3DO/NWC時代の旧作とのつながりを多分に意識しているのは好感が持てます。最大の変更点はグラフィックが大幅に強化されたことで現代のソフトとしてさほど見劣りしないレベルと言えます。プレイして感じたのは種族によってヒーローの2次スキルの選択肢が変化するので、種族固有の戦略が従来より重要になっている点でこれは改善と言えるでしょう。また魔法は5系統に整理されていますが、従来あったfly,water_walkなど超強力なものは姿を消しdimesion_door,town_portalもパワーダウンしています。これは功罪半ばでしょう。私の感じた難点は攻城戦で壁が硬すぎる、新規に雇うヒーローが開始時の種族にほぼ限定される、コンボイが使えないことなどです。なお現在最新バージョンは1.4になってますがまだフィックスしていない感じです。途中からマップエディタが付加されたので今後ファン作成のマップが多数発表されると期待されます。ただこのパッチですが、私のathlon64x2+winXP Pro環境ではソフトの更新を行わずに終了してしまいます。仕方なくpen4+winXP home環境で原版のインストールとパッチ当てを行い、その結果をディレクトリごとathlonにコピーして対処しています。この問題は海外のフォーラムでも当初から指摘されてきましたが、3回目のパッチでまだ解決していません。早くなんとかしてもらいたいところです。

4.0 out of 5 stars I liked #3
Platform: PCVerified PurchaseWhen I played #3 I really enjoyed it. I played for hours. #4 was a disappointment, but when I heard there was a #6 I made enquiries and found out it was similar in structure to #3. I wanted it. The price at Amazon was too reasonable to resist.
