Critical Reaction
The critical reaction to the retail version of Heroes V has been generally favourable, with an average review score of roughly 79%. Positives that have been mentioned include appealing 3D graphics and music, a random map generator (which was added in the expansion) and gameplay faithfulness to the traditions of HoMM III, the most successful game in the series.
Noted negatives or disappointments include: sluggish (online and network) multiplayer modes, cheating (receiving extra resources each turn) and poorly coded AI, a number of minor bugs, spelling/grammar mistakes, too few maps and a simplification of the combat engine. Some of these problems have been fixed by patches and the expansions.

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or reaction:
“The critical period in matrimony is breakfast-time.”
—A.P. (Sir Alan Patrick)
“Christianity was only a very strong and singularly well-timed Salvation Army movement that happened to receive help from an unusual and highly dramatic incident. It was a Puritan reaction in an age when, no doubt, a Puritan reaction was much wanted; but like all sudden violent reactions, it soon wanted reacting against.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
