The colors have more of a holiday feel to them than a cartoonish or a hi-tech feel, which makes this game a perfect holiday gift or treat. This may sound like an odd comparison, but playing the original Heroes I reminded me of the feeling I had playing the children's board game Candyland when I was a kid. Heroes II is a magical game, to say the least. Pointing your hero across the land to pick up treasure after treasure is quite a treat. Pure eye candy. Heroes II has all of this and plenty more.
Along with the light, magical atmosphere of the original we are now treated, also, to the gloomy mood of the dark side, which almost has a Tim Burton feel to it -- think Nightmare Before Christmas and Beetlejuice. Instead of having the same border theme as in the original, you can now choose a dark or light theme which is different enough to give a slightly different feel to the interface.
The dark side is cold and metallic, while the light side is warm and golden. Increasing the size of the landscape and decreasing the size of the objects on screen was a good way for the Heroes II design team to go as well. It makes things a bit sharper and hence more enticing.
There just seem to be more treats to discover here than in the original. The musical pieces change from one scenario to the next and the feel appropriately varies from light to dark castle. Music in the light castles has a cheery, melodic feel, while in dark castles it's more ominous. Lots of harpsichord in both. The feel of the music is enchanting and magical, appropriate for the days of knights and magic. In Heroes I there was a little music wafting in and out in the distant background, while in the foreground you heard birds chirping and other natural sounds.
This offered a nice transition from the castle to open land, it gave you the sense that the land and the objects there were alive. It was refreshing, it gave you the feeling that your were out in the open, ready to explore. Although Heroes II does have such sound effects, the music continues when players leave the castle, diminishing the sense of transition when moving to open land and lessening the refreshing effect of all the outdoor sounds.

Heroes Of Might And Magic varies-with-device 2. Heroes of Might and Magic V demo 3. Queen's Quest 4: Sacred Truce Full. Leave a review. This is embarrassing Try this instead. The concept that I had to get off a desert island by killing pirates had about as much weight as the scenario where I had to reclaim the Northern lands by killing barbarians. For me, this game spelled addiction but the kind where the withdrawal is mild and the recovery time is quick.
Little animations complement the scenery -- for example, waterfalls that sparkle every two seconds and billowing sails on ships. The turn-based fighting takes place on zoomed-in battlefields and you'll see your hero's head shake as members of your army die. Character details aren't great but they're reasonably distinctive between hero types. Sound: The swelling music was suitably inspiring.
Nothing to brag home about but more tolerable than the typical score. Enjoyment: The game initially drew me in while I explored new features and wondered what the next improvement or upgrade would accomplish. The lure of new territory or artifacts provided good motivation.
Replay Value: After a good while, the novelty of the game in general began to wear off and the gameplay settled into predictability. I might play again sometime but, then again, my hard drive only has so much room to spare.
