“When I was given the chance to review the Linux port of Heroes
of Might and Magic III (HOM3), I jumped at the chance. I had wanted
to try the game anyway and the prospect of playing a full
commercial game in Linux was just too enticing to resist.”

“While the game is terrific, there are a couple of problems.
First and foremost is the game’s tutorial. I am starting to get
tired of companies shipping “electronic documentation” on the CD,
rather than providing a print copy. When you start the tutorial it
tells you the documentation needs to be “printed out” from the CD.
That’s not so great for those of us who don’t have a printer.”

“…I have never played a Might and Magic game of any kind
before, so not knowing the game universe won’t be a problem.
If, like me, you’re into games that engage your mind rather
than your reflexes, then HOM3 is well worth the effort.
