It is not dumbed down at all. It is much simpler, which makes it more enjoyable to many people. It also costs significantly less, which is why I play it, since I don't have several hundred dollars to spend on dolls...
Someone should make a heroscape videogame with maps and map editor, existing characters, and possibly character skins and powers editor, and gameplay mechanics where they possibly run and do basic movements for attacks and dodges, and even a list of rules that can change if you want like in the board game. I can imagin it, i would love it, it might not be mainstream but at least it would bring all the army pices into the fans living rooms and it would be cool to share maps and battle online.
Enjoyed that review. I have been playing Heroscape with my French neighbour for a few years. He always calls the miniatures "bonhommes" (buh-num) which seems to fit the bill perfectly. The rest of us anglophones have adopted that terminology and now we always call them that. Seems to be a better match than "dolls"....
Dolls. ^_^ My grandma calls them that. It doesn't bother me. I like the video, you show the points of the game and that's awesome. I've been playing Heroscape since 2003.
You should make a new video though, as some changes have happened since 2006. The first change is that Wizards of the Coast bought the game from Hasbro. They've been doing joint productions, the recent fad is DnD Themed Heroscape Sets, and they added to the rules.
as usual a great review! I love that he calls them dolls and gets all the geeks fired up. Thats okay though, geeks need to get their heart rates up once in a while.
hmm..excellent vid..but y call them dolls. Maybe miniatures or figures or players or warriors or even action figures..but not dolls. lol w/e dont sweat it 5/5
Lol, I would have called them miniatures or models or something because they don't move. If you could move their arms or legs they would be dolls though.
Very good =D BUT like everyone else said........... Well i'm gonna say it differently. I'd prefer to cal them figures... and NOT dolls x3 but nyways very good
They are not dolls! I play and I have never heard anyone call them a doll. They are called figures. It is a great game!!! The figures don't jump either. They climb!!!
Heroscape fighting is the best wargame set up i like by far but the minituares need to be stepped up to more like D&D or mage knight and not so kiddish
I wanted to try to buy the heroscape starter set but I never really got the chance to get one. But, I ended up getting into the game they call heroclix. What I really liked was what you play on, the tiles, hreoclix maps are cool but I think the heroscape map set is a little better than the heroclix maps but heroclix still rocks.
Wow, after reading the other comments i feel ashamed towards you people. I play this game with my freinds and their parents and with anyone who likes board games. its like chess except you have to be smarter. My heart goes out to all the people who have nothing better to do then to make them selfs seem stupid. So, people who play are probably better then other people who dont play. (I play alot)

@snicholson they're dolls
define: doll = a small replica of a person; used as a toy
of course more specifically it is said that, "A doll is an object that represents a baby or other human being."
So some of those are dolls and some are not by this definition.
