Another Heroes of Hellas Winner!
Really liked this game. Like the other Heroes of Hellas games it was fun and challenging. It was also addicting! I kept playing thinking "okay, just 1 more game and I'll go to bed". Ha! I just love all of these games as I really, for some reason, like to "build" a city or design homes or whatever premise they use. Love it. And they give a lot of bang for your buck, this is a long game and it gives you a nice mythology lesson. Sort of.

Great game, but buggy
I love the Heroes of Hellas series and this one is no exception. It has everything you could ask for: gorgeous graphics, great story, and fantastic power ups in the form of heroes. The levels get progressively harder and it requires a little thinking and not just randomly matching to get past them. It has the bombs and hermes wings from HofH2, but has added "big bombs" which clear more area. The heroes are a bit different too - in who they are AND what they do.
The mini-games are not really to my taste (hidden object scenes and treasure hunters - rapid matching), but I can overlook that for the great play. It has about 100 regular levels and 30 bonus levels. 15 of the bonus levels are puzzle levels like in HofH2 - which is my favorite part of the game. You earn laurel leaves for the bonus levels that you can use to build a palace at the end.
The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because the graphics are so intense that sometimes the game will freeze and you have to restart. Other than that, another great game in the Heroes of Hellas series! I highly recommend it.

Fun match 3 game
I really enjoyed this game. I have the others in the series but enjoyed this one the most. Each level is a bit more challenging when you play in "timed" mode. The extra games to build your castle once done require some thinking. All in all, a great game.

Superp third instalment in the Match-3 series
chain-to-match only
Restore the city of Athens to its former glory after being destroyed by an unknown enemy of the goddess Athena.
Earn gold by solving M3 levels, use the gold to purchase buildings.
M3 levels have the usual helping tiles (lightning bolts, bombs etc), and obstacle tiles (rope, ice, unmovable metal blocks), and the goals vary from collect all the "gold" tiles, collect at certain amount of one colour tile, drop keys, gems, feathers to the bottom.
Earn trophies and achievements - this gives extra incentive and challenge.
After finishing the city, you get "bonus" play - 15 levels normal (chain-to-match) levels, 15 levels of Puzzle - limited amount of moves so you must figure out the exact sequence of matching.

Great addtion to the "Hellas" series.
Most of the other reviewer have made excellent points about this wonderful game but I thought I'd add a couple different reasons that I love it a bit more than HoH2
1) I LOVE the fact that there is a "relaxed" option! I like to take my time and work out the best match and this game allows me to do that stress-free!
2) I LOVE that your game isn't interrupted by the awards. You are given any won awards at the END of each board. In HoH2, it drove me CRAZY when I was just setting up a great match and the stupid "award" screen would come on. I'd forget what I was doing in the game!
3) I really like that I have a choice of buildings. In HoH2, you just built. I'm a fan of the "blue roofs" myself! :D
Great game! Thanks developers for listening to your fans!

One flaw
I love the game but cannot play for last seal. It freezes up and gives an error- disappointing. I hope a fix is available soon.
