Elementary, my dear Watson!

95 means it`s almost perfect, even games like Planescape and Heroes 3 didn`t get this score from many, and King's Bounty the Legend being a great game still has it`s flaws. It`s very-very addictive, but it`s well, a bit shallow, there`s a nice music(better than the one from homm 5 imo, but worse than in homm 2-4), story which is rather weak and many diologues _all_ of which are supposed to be funny(someone will probably like it i guess), many really are, but still doesn`t help to build some real atmosphere, you can`t give 9.5 for a game with a great gameplay, graphics and map design, but everything else which can be described as nice, pretty good, i liked it etc. Personally I`d give it 84-87, 95 is obviously too much.

Well, Hargrar, we all do have something subjective appraising any specific game, aren't we? : )

Which is why one should take every review and opinion you see with a thought to it. A game can get a good review and not be good, or get a bad review and not be bad (I think of Tribes of the east here) But the best way tends to be a demo, that way you can get a taste of it yourself and make a competent judgement.

As it is i can't say anything about the music or the dialogues.. but i do like the visuals :) A bit refreshing from all the Dark and gritty stuff that seems to be popular as of late.

mail.ru - 9.5, but users - 8.3
AG - 9.5, but Players - 8.9
Decide, to whom to trust players or authors of reviews!

Greatest trouble in «KB» (besides not numerous «bags», straightened by patches) is happiness only on 30-40 hours. In age-old King's Bounty 2 Ïrokof'eva and that HOMM 5 there was the generator of cards, and territory is unchanging here, because hand-made. Yes, at the beginning of party it concernes by casual appearance, that you will meet on the way, but the repeated heat en-route acquainted will not be such enthralling.

Sorre, automatic translation...

Actually it is more than 30-40 hours if you take all side quests, etc. Moreover can you name a modern game that boasts at least 30-40 hours of gameplay. I can hardly imagine one, not taking into consideration (add-ons, expansions, mods, map generators, etc.). Talking only about single player.

AG rated the game 93%, players rated 89%.
If you check the statistics, u can see that 19 players voted 1% for the game. I think this 19 people are liars! If you don't count their votes, total it gives 91%, it's quite close to AG's original score, and it's above 90%. I trust in this. BTW 30-40 hours is quite a good gameplay value, plus the map is not randomly created but made by a desinger (team).

Everybody draws conclusions, I simply made examples. Certainly a minimum and maximum would need to be deleted. Unreal 10, absurdly 1.
My rating about 8-8.5. 9.5 - only design...
30-40 hours it is needed on the complete passing of game. Someone will play anew, someone it is not...
AG is very good site and review objective enough!
