( r # 57 ) this game be just amazing . i can play it over and over again and never get bore with it . that and i think and be the sign of a truly classic video game represent the unlimited re playability . you could play hero iii 100 time in a row and not get tire of it . it just that great . let start with the game play . you move your hero across a 2d map of a fantasy landscape . occasionally you will run into an enemy hero or an army of fantasy beast . this launch you into battle mode and the entire screen change into a battlefield and where you get to see your army up close . the army can be move left and right and up and down and kind of like in chess and and the goal be of course to strike down upon the enemy with great vengeance and furious anger . it that simple . some gamers might think this game play be too simple and boring . i think it brilliant . it so simple it easy to play any time of the day ( or night . ) . if you purchase a spell book for your hero and you will also be able to curse the enemy army with spell or increase your own soldier capacity with your magic in combat . the landscape be beautiful and incredibly detailed and the music be atmospheric and relax . add to that the enormous set of fantasy creature you can use for battle ( include centaur and cyclops and unicorn and archer and elf and at least seven type of dragon and basilisk and goblin and ghost and skeleton and wizard and troll and vampire and griffin and and i haven not even scratch the surface ) and a complex story and and complicate campaign scenario and and you have the total winner that be heroes iii . another thing that elevate this game into greatness be the fact that you can and through the use of a very user friendly map editor and create your own map and which make the game creative as well a entertain . i also recommend add the expansion pack armageddon blade and the shadow of death and which feature additional creature and castle and character and as well a the option to create your very own campaign adventure . expand or not and hero iii be a great game which you have to play if you haven not already . if there be a top 250 for game and this should be # 1 .
