    I know that I’ve said the multiplayer mode is a potential loose cannon, and the single player content feels a bit slim, but I can’t let you leave this review without reinforcing the fact I really enjoyed this game. The things at the heart of it - demolishing towers with dodgy medieval rockets, seeing that each individual pig wandering your farms has a name, upgrading a warlord’s castle, placing those beautiful stone walls - are all immensely satisfying. It’s good stuff, essentially. But it’s wearing armour that’s very slightly too big for it, and that has the potential to weigh it down in the long run.

    . Retain some mechanics that made stronghold 1 so good.
    . Fixed some graphics and mechanics issues from predecessors

    ---> Negative points:

    . Not remarkable in any way. Mechanics are the same from 2001, lore is generic.

    . Graphics aren't bad. but for example: Warcraft 3 is 20 years older and has better graphics.

    . Bugs. The game crashes at random or if you save a lot in a short period of time.    … Full Review »
