    Interesting add on to the regular Game. But at least noting real new. Simple Missions are really boring and building from castelles is also not as in SH 1. It is a little bit like Warcraft Part 1! But with building walls and towers...

    An unusual change of direction for the Stronghold series. Well first off the the "easy" and "hard" are very enjoyable to play as with the new units. I criticize the bugs and the sudden increase cost to build certain resources in the game. The bugs you should expect are occasional save files that fail to load and crash although it could be just my lousy computer.

I criticize the bugs and the sudden increase cost to build certain resources in the game. The bugs you should expect are occasional save files that fail to load and crash although it could be just my lousy computer. Resources now cost twice or more than in the 2nd Stronghold which can sometimes be a challenge to set up a economy in certain game modes. The medium campaign feels harder due to the amount of Frost Giants and how powerful they actually are. Lastly I slam the balance of game play with new units as said before the medium campaign requires many armoured or heavy ranged units to deal with Frost Giants that tear down walls in a snap. A certain unit on the so called "evil" side can be sometimes be hard to deal with as they can "convert" weak units into joining their side and require armoured units to deal with them efficiently. Overall this game is mediocre at best in my opinion.… Expand

    Its okay, I still think that its graphics are way too fancy; simplicity is sometimes key - Crusader and the original had simplistic graphics that ran well on my Windows 7 netbook. I do like some of the gameplay, but I hate the complex fancy graphics. Get it only if you got a high-power computer.

    It's perhaps a little unfair to criticize a game for not being what it never intended to be but we're still confused that Firefly decided to take a step away from the series' castle simulation roots and opt for this rather generic and bland RTS experience.

    This time around there are more units to build as well as new traps and siege equipment to help out on the battlefield.

    Sadly, regular combat again proves Stronghold's downfall. Units require extreme babysitting. [Dec 2006, p.100]
