King's Bounty's looks fantastic, and though the graphic engine isn't cuttingedge, the use of colour and detail is vividly realised. There's no empire building involved in it (though you can build a family!), so the game sticks to the former part of the explore, expand and conquer strategy of Heroes Of Might & Magic, which should prove a delight for the majority of HOMM fans. However, the text translation isn't good, and though you can get by wading through lengthy sections of Frenglish, you'll soon find you don't really care about the plight of those terrorised villagers any further than the reward and experience you glean from the associated quest.
King's Bounty is also bereft of a map editor, though this oversight may be addressed in the near future with the coming expansion from Katauri. Don't let either of these negatives scare you off though, King's Bounty is a highly accessible and very immersive title that any strategy fan will immediately warm to.

Does this port bring anything new to Mac OS?
Good ‘ole Valve, noticing the harsh economic times that us gamers are facing decided to throw us a bone.
They just took care of it a few moments ago as I post this but I was able to get a hold of the game while it was still working. All I have to say is... BORING.
So if you missed out on this, not a real loss unless you already had your eye on this game.
I'm not sure about that KB is hard as hell. It pits you with against almost impossible odds.
The game is a really good game. But it is hard as hell. However, I was never really good at these types of games so maybe it is just me.
If more people lurked the N4G forums then they would have known this hours ago. I snatched it literally 5 minutes before it vanished.
