Sound: The sound effects in the game are well done, and the CD music is a delight!Įnjoyment: Overall, an extremely enjoyable gaming experience. Graphics: Very nicely done 2D art with rich animation during the combat sequences. This game easily deserves every award and accolade it received as Best Strategy Game of the Year, and is an enjoyable addition to everyone's gaming collection. The artificial intelligence in the game is well designed, and guarantees that the game won't be an easy walk through, or 'a piece of cake.' And it's multi-player play provides for a rich and practically endless variety of playing experience as you are forced to deal with your friends and neighbor's intellignece, versus that programed in the game. And lastly they added two new powerful character classes, numerous new buildings to construct and subsequent new armies and spells. They expanded multi-player capabilities to include six players instead of four. The musical score, included on the CD, is very grand, and does a marvelous job setting the tone of the game. While it continues to use 2D line art, it has been sharply improved with strong animation effects that really make the game more enjoyable to play. The first noticeable improvement is the graphics. However, there are many new features in Heroes II that show strong improvement over the original. Each turn you move your hero to explore new areas, build buildings in your castle which allow you to call new creatures to your cause or expand your library of spells. The first item on the agenda is to hire more heroes, grow your armies, and begin exploring the land around you to gather the necessary resources and power to successfully defeat your enemies.

You begin the game with a castle, and a single hero to lead your very small beginning army. As in Heroes of Might and Magic, the sequel is a turn-based strategy game set in the fantasy universe of the Might and Magic role playing game series.

When New World Computing designed the sequel to their best selling strategy game, they produced something we rarely see, a sequel better than the original. Yet, suprisingly enough, both games won awards as Best Strategy Game of the Year, and with good reason. When you look at the awards Heroes of Might and Magic II won, you might think you were mistakenly looking at the copy for the original Heroes of Might and Magic.
