I'm a HUGE fan of SH Crusader, but this version turned the RTS into an ultra-fast arcade game.

I loved Stronghold Crusader when it came out and played it for hours - even reinstalling it from time to time. I never got bored with it, and the Crusader Trail was always challenging toward the end.

Stronghold Crusader Extreme takes the classic game and quickens the pace to an almost unplayable level. There is very little time to build up defenses or establish an economy to overtake your opponent. Everything happens very quickly and you're left with with the impression that you should have been clicking on different icons more efficiently. There was very little time to create a strategy - you just build as fast as you can and attack.

The great thing about Stronghold Crusader Extreme is that is also contains the original Stronghold Crusader - which will remain one of my favorite games of all time.

Sometimes, you just can't improve on a true classic.
