Some people are just too attached to Heroes 3, and the graphics don't matter to them.

For true connoisseurs, this is irrelevant; what matters most is the essence.

Exactly. The graphics are outdated, but look at how everything is drawn! It's worth a lot; you can feel the atmosphere of the old world, the original, interesting, and unique one. This is where the engaging campaign, the game's design, and its spirit come from... No, it's magnificent. It's a shame that Heroes 3 and Might and Magic 8 were the last games in the series that contained something interesting and original. After that, it's all just pop... Heroes 4 is good, but it's already cliché. Unfortunately.
