Those ratings pretty much summarize it...

Still Disciples 3 has the potential to become a really great game, with awesome graphics, story and gameplay, but the developers must really put their back into it, add the missing races and provide a lot of content. A map editor won't hurt either, as it will greatly improve the replayability options and give the players a chance to put their imagination to good use.

I am aware of all the criticism being thrown at this game, some is true but most is just blown out of proportion, the game was FUN to play and I am certainly awaiting for the 'Ressurrection of Mortis' addon, I'm sure with more patch work, extra content, and time the game will be great.

It will certainly be fun, but what I do not like is that you get a game, you pay for it, you see it's incomplete, and you need to wait for expansions which you'll also have to pay for, in order to make the game complete. This is a big money sink which Akella decided to make by copying Blizzard. Problem is that Blizzard always gives content when they make the money sink. A clear example is Starcraft 2 - the initial game has only the Terran campaign in it. However, to compensate for this it has various AI levels for all races, wondrous multiplayer, a lot of maps and a map editor. I would feel ok if Dcp3 had the lots of maps and the editor part of the upper sentence, but it doesn't...

When a person buys a game he/she always wants a complete product that is well worth the money. It is such simple tricks to make money that tick me off and this is why my opinion of this game is so low.

I feel I should also point out that the Terran Campaign is also the size of all the campaigns combined in the previous starcraft (in play time at least).

I have been sitting on the fence on Disciple 3 as I loved the first two versions. Sounds like I should wait a little longer. Eventually I will get it as I and II were a lot of fun and they were very good about adding content along with the fans.

Lower price and no cd will come later.

Buy it don't wait, if you don't want any troubles get the Steam version as it has some extra maps and is very stable, I myself have the UK version and it didn't give me any problems at all.
