    But what separates Warlords Battlecry II from the horde are its scope and depth. You don't just have two or three races – you have 12. [June 2002, p.72]

    This game has proven to me to be more addictive than cigarettes after all night romps in the hay with my special friend...the most fun I’ve had in playing an RTS since "Dungeon Keeper 2" and "Warcraft 2."

    The best part about this sequel is still the RPG-like hero development that so distinguished Warlords Battlecry from other real-time strategy games.

    The hero development is well paced and offers great diversity to your heroes as they progress through the game.

    The interface is one of the best RTS GUIs (for the acronym conscious) to date. There are rollover help messages for just about everything and you can automate the building of units with an endless variety of queue options.

    It's not an innovative title, but it was made with a good deal of polish and will hold your attention for some time.

    Very good game, difficulty of keeping your skilled units alive is challenging but fun. Spend many hours on this tittle.

If I were writing it, I'd change a few things, thus the 9 rating, but all in all, it's a game worth having in the collection, and I have to say, multiplayer on a XL map is fantastic!… Expand

    I played so many hours with this game, especially skirmish mode, when you can level up your hero.
    Campaign was decent but not excellent.
