Sound: I found out many KUF:H reviews over the internet simply 'thrashed' the musical aspect of the game just because they didn't have a taste for it, but the truth is that, overall, the 'orchestral' music at the menu screens and the 'metal' music while playing the campaigns serve it's purpose. I was really pleased when I noticed the characters' breathing turned into 'condensed air' when playing under cold & rainy weather conditions. The developers threw in lots of quality visual details that make this one stand over most XBox titles of the time. Graphics: The game's graphics look quite good even for a game that's over a year old now.

I haven't tried the XBox Live features, yet. The only somewhat annoying problems have to do with camera control (at times, depending on the terrain being explored) and those hyper-super-ultra lame menu options that help the story progress when visiting the different bases/castles.

The interface is really intuitive and understanding how to move, attack or retire your troops, officers and hero takes just a couple of tries without them having to die in the attempt.

I just had to experiment a little bit with the scarce information provided in the manual and I was already playing.The first campaigns begin with 'introductory kind of missions' which have this 'cinematic-like design' that immerses you in the game immediately. Although this may be true, it isn't something frustrating or anything like that. Gameplay: KUF:H is said to be a hard to learn game for most players mainly because, apparently, there isn't any 'training mission' or 'in-game tutorial' (the manual says it does, but they're nowhere to be found at first sight). The developers did an awesome job, but there are a couple of things that turned my experience from what could've been an 'unbelievably astonishing' one to just an 'entertainingly cool' one. It's not even on the way of becoming 'a classic', of course. On the other hand, it's a game far from perfect. Once you get a good feel of the game you'll find it's no wonder why some people call it the 'pioneering' game of the somewhat recent 'massive action RTS' (or something like that) genre. I'll even dare saying that to some extent, it did to the RTS genre what HALF-LIFE did to the FPS genre. at least since KUF:C, but because it's the same type of game, I say since BLACK & WHITE. If I had to describe KUF:H in just a couple of words, I'd say it's: 'the most creative mixture of gameplay elements in a game in years'. So, hopefully, this review will be really helpful for those gamers that, just like I did, seek a new and fresh gaming genre to hop to now that XBox games' prices have dropped drastically, thanks in part to the introduction of next-gen consoles competing with Microsoft's 360. I'd never played the other famous game in the series, KUF:CRUSADERS, but was attracted by it's 'above average', 'dark fantasy' characters. I see this game failing quick and hard if the only way to play it is online through the publisher's servers.Overall: I had the chance to experience KUF:HEROES just recently (over a year after it's release!) when I came upon this brand-new, US$9 offering at eBay. I might also bite if they have a private server option that you could play with friends after the official servers go down. So what's the verdict? I would buy this game if it offered some sort of offline, single player mode that could be enjoyed post server closure.

It also seems to maintain the 'P2W' cash shop of the free to play model, judging by the different game packages offered up for sale. They seem to be flying this game in under the radar, avoiding major distribution platforms such as Steam. It only lasted a couple years in its native country. If its track record is any indication the publishers have zero problems pulling the plug on this game after a year (Russia). I guess you assume the risk of a 'here today, gone tomorrow' existence with a free to play game, as it was in other regions, but they are charging for KUF2 now. Does the game essentially become impossible to play?
