In terms of gameplay, the Elves resemble the humans a bit too much to feel like a new race. Many of the Elf units are physically weaker than the other races; which makes the elves somewhat harder to play at higher difficulty levels. Still, the core gameplay is fun if you like turn-based games and the graphics are still quite good. I am halfway thru the Elven scenario and I'd much rather be playing a full-fledged sequel. This game feels like an "add-on" in just about every way and it is over-priced. The Undead and Demon races are 20 times more fun to play than the humans and the elves and if you feel the same way, you may be disappointed with this game.
