How do you rate Heroes IV game (out of 10)
Here is mine rating:
MUSIC - 10
Superb Music. Keeps getting better all the time.
GRAPHICS - 9
Big, Colourful and more 3D like. Creatures look Fab.
ANIMATION - 10
The best yet. From the creatures and their style to the heroes casting and throwing spells.
GAMEPLAY - 9
It take some getting used to. But after playing this Heroes III seems pale by comparison.
BATTLESCREEN - 10
Brilliant - Very impressive. Combat can be a bit tricky to start with, but it is easy to master. A lot of fun will be on this field with creatures, heroes and spells.
INTERFACE - 8
This is a little let disappointing. On 1024 by 768 res you get all the option in a nice style, but in 800 x 600 res some of the option are not there in the castle or on the screen which can be very annoying.
SPELLS - 10
This the a unique experience to use these spells. And the choice you can choose. The animation for them is also amazing and vary amusing. Using opposite magic against your opponents and only getting the spell that are assocated with you castle is great. No longer dreading resurrection spell in the necropolis
OVERALL - 10
Very addictive and more i play it the more i learn. this is a strategy game at it heights. More complex than its' predessor and more fun. Cant wait for the multiplayer patch.

My overall: 4
Why so low?
Graphics: not fantastic, but ok. But still... I got used to the previous engine and switching games would be VERY hard for me.
Sound & music: I dunno, never heard it. But Nothing can beat the opera music from HoMM2. I really miss the one from Necro...
Gameplay: The games are so different (HoMM3 and 4), that I couldn't even think about comfortable playing. Too many changes!
Compared to the previous games, HoMM4 looks like a black lamb in the family. If the game brought some new ideas to the genre, maybe I'd give it a 5 or 6. But almost everything, if not everything, could already be seen in other games.

MUSIC (6.5) Nice music but sotimes it just stops for no reason, sometimes it goes like the game is gonna crash, and sometimes it chages from one track to the other with no apparent reason.
GRAPHICS (9) good graphics, better than all the other graphics in the previous versions of Heroes
ANIMATION (5) - the animation is really CRAPPY. It's one of the worst animations I've ever seen. Most of the ground troops move like .... well I don't know how they move like, it's just horrible. Same for the horse when he moves on the map. Some of the flying units don't have very good anitmations either. Spell animations--> i haven't seen all spell animations but I can say that some spell animations are nice, some are ugly.
GAMEPLAY I can't give a mark yet, gotta play the game a litl more
Spells - same here
MULTYPLAYER (ZERO!!) - Ya really blew it this time 3DO.
Overall - don't know, but it's a nice game even if it has all those problems .
P.S.: HOpe those patches come out soon.

Great so far, looks to have more strategic depth than 2&3. I like the music better than 3 and as well as 2.

well, yeah, that's how it goes, games are always buggy when they come out.
take black and white for example:
there's a certain curse in the fifth land, which shrinks your beast, makes it the oposite of you and makes it weak. Upon destroying certain wonders, your beast should get normal again, but it stayed the same!!!!!! that's one of the biggest bugs I've ever seen!
then after a while a patch comes out that fixes the problem. But you might aswell wait for a later date to buy the game, it costs less and it should be patched by then.
so at first, I was quite dissapointed and angry because homm will only be here the 15th (or was it 12th). but hey, with a lil' bit of hope, maybe multiplayer will be in it already!!!! (keeps his fingers crossed)

When I first saw it: 6
After one day: 7
Right now: 8
I don't know why, but I just love the music. Much more than 3 or 2 (or 1 for that matter, but 1 didn't have spectacular music). But the interface is confusing. And the game feels smaller in many ways, so you have to get used to that. It's not just a simple sequel, it's almost a new game altogether; that will make many fans angry until they give it a chance.
Me, I'm starting to feel like they've won me over. But GET RANDOM MAP GEN IN!!!! That is the best part of the game! Who wants to play maps they've played over and over again? I love the wacky things random map generators tend to do (heroes as well as other games) - they're so unpredictable!

I really enjoy the game, maybe not a ten, but I think it is definitely going to be one to play for awhile, my biggest gripe is the lack of a random map maker....I loved that in 3....oh well.
I havea problem with the music skipping so I turn it off.
I think the graphics are fine, bright and colorful.

10 and not less!!!
reasons:
MUSIC: Amazing!!! No skipping for me, so no problems
GRAPHICS: Cool! I really like the isometric view!
GAMEPLAY: Amazing! I like the way you smash your head into the wall (in RL ) when deciding what skill to take
COMBATS: realistic, yet trully real HoMM battles! Realistic because it's really hard to get into war and not to loose anything, HoMM- it's just is! You feel those things, don't you?..
There are more, but I think you get the point already.

Yeah, even when I'm totally guaranteed to win a battle, I usually lose a few guys... I like that, because it makes more sense. Just because you overpower the enemy doesn't mean you won't have any losses...

too big, too generic.. .they can do better (even skinable interface)

LOL... I thought Homm4 was supposed to be the most user-friendly and new player based episode of the Heroes games yet? That's why they did all the horrible things like the cookie-cutter towns and making all the creatures N64 cutesy.....
Bah. Failed I guess if VETERAN Homm players can't figure out some of the stuff... how are little kids supposed to figure out what to do quickly? Some little kids don't have the patience to learn that..

overall 5
this plays like a beta version. from all the bugs, choppy movement and scrolling, lack of multiplayer...
disappointed, hoping that the patch will win me over.

I never did have any problems changing game from Heroes 2 to Heroes 3. And neither I have them now. On the monday when I got the game, I played it until clock hit 5 am. On the second day I played it to 1:30 am (I was woken up too early that day). Today night: I'm going to sleep (got to wake up early tomorrow). The game is great.
Map Editor seems to have a lot of potential. I'm really fascinated by that scripting system. It might be possible to make some surprises like changing the victory condition or destroying adventure objects during gameplay.
By the way, did I said that the game is great?
