i review games(semi pro) and have just received the pre release game of heroes of might and magic 5 and i have got to say that ubisoft have taken the right decision in using a russion developer, for once this game has the advanced graphics of today with the classic gameplay of homm3 with added features and for once the homm series is in the hands of a good software house. trust me in saying if you liked homm3 and have a decent computer than buy homm5 and give ubisoft and this russian software developer the support needed to get them to creat expansion packs and homm6 and i say that heres looking forward to a series staying around and developing for years to come.

Where can I download the demo? Tried to google it, but I kept getting ads interupting me, and dead links?

http://www.tothegame.com/

try this site and look for homm5 in the pc section, quite a good site for info on games of reviews,demos, screen shots, previews and just plain old release date info

What factions are there in it?

Can someone give me an idea of what kind of game homm5 is? It sounds good but i wouldn't mind some info on it before i d/l the demo. Thanks
