Stronghold 2. A deeply trubled and trubling effort. Think twice, even if you find it lurking in the bargain bin.
I really think in should be a bigger than it is, and many things, should go other way as it is.
Gameplay:
well gameplay is the same as it was in original stronghold and worse than in crusader. When attacking the castle, all soldiers pack in one square millimeter. They stay in their place, even if archers shot them. (realism)
Defending is a little better. And I hate one thing. Why soldiers don't attack civilians. That is crazy. Those little formations don't add anything. Gameplay is bellow average.
Graphics:
Well, LOL. I don't get the point of making outstanding graphics, when they don't really present much new that a bit better looking soldiers. It has even it's worse side. Stockpiles are now enhanced by a roof. Now you need to click it to view.
Sound:
If there is anything good in this game it's music. I really enjoy it. Sadly, the most of this game. The only thing that i can say, it is cool.
Well, for beginers, it would be cool looking but think twice!
