Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Stronghold 2 is the third instalment of the Stronghold franchise. The original Stronghold was the first and only game to combine a castle sim with siege-warfare RTS. Stronghold 2 will be the first to bring the franchise to 3D. Players will be able to build and develop numerous types of castles and defences while watching their peasants go about their every day lives. Players will see medieval life in all its forms from festivals and jousts to drunken wenches serving their lord dinner. Players will also be given more control over the strategic aspect of the game.

Quick review - It's pretty much the same as the previous Stronghold games, just looks a bit more up to date. If you haven't played Stronghold at all, well it's a nice little game which, unlike other RTS games, allows you to create and maintain your own castle in quite a bit of detail...and either enjoy building and keeping your people happy, or go to war against other AI or human players. It's good fun, and is very focussed and contained which I think makes it more enjoyable than some other sim or RTS games.
The drawbacks - the one player missions and AI opponents won't keep you occupied long, which means you need to play mutliplayer online to really get the most from it...but... this game is really flakey online, often throws you out of a game, which seems to confuse it more until you restart...it can take a while to get into and stay in a game online, but when that works it really is enjoyable. New patch needed I think, then this would be really good.

Having owned all previous editions of stronghold i was not disappointed with Stronghold 2 Deluxe. The graphics are excellent when set to maximum and the game offers a variety of missions with non linear play. The king maker mode is good fun however is fairly easy. In heated battles the game can slow down which causes some annoyance.
Still strongly recommended.

Not so strong, Stronghold
Frankly, I was greatly disapointed with Stronghold 2 Deluxe. I looked forward to a 3D upgrade of the excellent Stronghold and Stronghold Crusader which I have played continuously... Read more
