Fun game, but I disagree that it is better than HoMM when it doesn't have a campaign, lacks the presentation of HoMM and most maps are fairly small so nothing like a grand campaign feeling and rpg aspects you got from HoMM. There are lesser issues I have with the game, but overall it is definitely worth the price for what you'll get out of it. I just don't expect to be touching it five years from now whereas I still regularly play HoMM #3 and #5. Maybe in time some of these things will be addressed, but they aren't really 'issues' when you view the game on its own. As soon as you introduce comparisons with HoMM though then the areas it falls flat become quite prominent.
