Let me start by saying I read some other reviews and see that a few wanted to say the game was bad due to things like, Glitches, No save function, and no Tutorial.
I feel personally they're wrong.
For one I own the game and online play is smooth. Hero control is still sluggish as in the first one but overall runs perfectly.
The game is a perfect battle sim as real tactics actually apply.
Charging cavalry through an enemy unit leads to serious damage. Setting up pikeman as cavalry march through leads to spiking them.
The game holds true and while there are no stand out fixes from the last game Heroes does give you more players to play with then the previous games 1v1 only settings.
The tutorial while not a straight laced explanation is weaved perfectly into the starter officers story lines and helps to explain how to use units while engaging you in the characters thick plots.
The only true downsides to this game lie in the misspelling and often bad voiceovers (Characters lips not moving while they talk etc) But aside from the graphical issues this game will deliver gamers with the war time action they are looking for.
