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 principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered.”
—Jean Piaget (1896–1980)
“In a land which is fully settled, most men must accept their local environment or try to change it by political means; only the exceptionally gifted or adventurous can leave to seek his fortune elsewhere. In America, on the other hand, to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else is still the normal reaction to dissatisfaction and failure.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
