Welcome to the world of Bughold 2
This game really should have been great, but they ruined it by releasing it way before it was finished. In multiplayer mode, the option to have co-op is listed on the screen, but you can not enable it. Why? Because they ... Read Full Review

If you are not of the age to remember when living in a castle was the day to day business

No Fun so Far, but Challenging
I find it hard to control events during a game, which I must admit, it is challenging. Stronghold 2 has a lot more more economics than normal RTS have; like crime for which you have to place guard posts, a courthouse,... Read Full Review

A nice attempt... more of a throwback to older games, but still could use some polish
As many who read my reviews know, I don't look for graphics to judge a game. In fact games like this one intrigue me since, in my view, they should make up for in gameplay what lacks in graphics... Stronghold 2 gives ... Read Full Review

Still an 8 even with the (soon to be patched) bugs
A great improvement over the first title even with the bugs. If the thought of some seriouse issues scares you, wait another week or so for the next patch before buying. The developers "got it" in terms of new features..... Read Full Review

A disaster waiting to happen.
Did Stronghold 2 deserve the rating it got on Gamespot? Honestly, no; it deserved something way worse, even harsh - anything to warn the consumer about this wreck of a game. I can't believe I wasted $60 hard-earned dolla... Read Full Review

Looks great, buggy as hell. Wait for final patch.
This game is great Stronghold fun, but I can't get beyond 1.5 hours of gameplay before the game bugs somehow. Various different ways but every one made it unplayable. So, I start over and it happens again. Four times ... Read Full Review

So close but yet still not there.
Stronghold 2 is a very good idea of a game and the sequel is better then the first stronhold. I bought this game 2 weeks ago and have not stopped playing it since. Correction, I have not VOLUNTARILY stopped playing it ... Read Full Review
