In my opinion, the third game is the best. I started playing it as soon as I got my first computer (I remember it was 1999). The third game had just been released then. I learned about the first and second games later, so for me, as for many others, Heroes starts right with the third game. I like it for its atmosphere, well-designed interface, and generally, the lack of flaws. Everything is done as well as it could be. The graphics aren't demanding, the music is good, and the gameplay is great. The fourth game doesn't have that (although the music is really good). The fourth game is a completely different game, empty and lacking compared to the third. The fifth game is a great game, and the developers tried to improve after the fourth, and they succeeded. But something is missing. Some kind of specific spirit, like in the third game.
