It's okay, but far from great.
User Rating: 6.7 | Stronghold 2 PC
Stronghold 2 places you in a medieval world, full of vikings, bandits, and other lords. In the campaign you play as Sir Matthew (I forget the last name). You can choose either to go the path of protecting the King (of England), or you can betray the king, kill him and take over England. Overall though, it isn't a very convincing story line. The king goes into hiding cause he's scard, you look for him, and so on. You never feel like your getting into the game and knowing your character. The graphics are descent, but I was hoping for something a bit more 2004ish. They aren't very impressive at all, and I think Firefly Studios could of spent a bit more time on that part of the game. Also in the game, there are killer framrate drops. It's amazing. One second you fine and next you can hardly move your camera. I will say that the sound was pretty good, except for the voice acting. The voice acting is terrible.
It is a pretty deep game resource wise, however. Food is stored in your granery, and if your granery dies, you lose all your food. Raw materials, like stone, iron and wool, are stored in the stockpile, which can not be destroyed. I never really understood that part of the game. Over all this is an okay game, and I would reccommend it to people who enjoy building castles and such.
