A enjoyable game

User Rating: 8.8 | The Guild 2 PC
If you want to build glories trade empires, bring the heathens to the light, or just down right cheat, steal and bribe your way to the top then this game is for you. I have been playing this game for about a week now and admittedly I have found the bugs to be rather a nescience as I have lost whole dynasties, this however is partly my fault as I should have saved the game. Some of the bugs I’ve encountered are

The game will start to lag before eventually crashing

Buying some buildings will cause it to freeze up

As for the comments about the repetitiveness of the game Id have to say its about equal with any other game and no where near as bad as samurai warriors. I found there was plenty to keep a player occupied and if the game became excessive Id switch over to a new profession or try something different. In the guild 2 you can do many different things, a few of my favorite ones Ill explain in brief detail.

Set up a underground empire
In one of my games I selected the rouge class for play, personally I have found this by far the most entertaining profession, as a rouge you can manage robbers dens and thieves guilds, some of the options available to you if you choose to are 1 Setting up highwaymen to pillage caravans along the road 2 Pillage buildings, taking all there hard earned wealth and contents for yourself
3 extorting businesses for protection money

The other option in the rouge class is to build a thieves guild, with this building you can

1 Set up your thieves to pickpocket passers by
2 Kidnap and demand ransom for other people
3 Commit a burglary on a building The things to watch out for are the town guards seeing your misdeeds and angry people seeking revenge (my main character was murdered). You will also make a ton of enemies and be taken to court regularly.

The scholars class
In this class you can set up churches to preach to good book to all the citizens and nobles of the city, if this does not take your fancy then you might like to try your hand at being an alchemist or perhaps mage.

Deep in a dark dank basement below the hub of activity upstairs a women took some toads eyes from a white plate sitting upon an alter, she spoke the magic words and looked down ' not another poison pie' she thought, the mages guild is quite fun and allows you to produce many items to sabotage or kill your families enemies, its income is not vastly great but with patience and a little work it can turn into quite a lucrative business.

Not locked to one class however is politics

As a dynasty you can apply for a better title for example a peasant can become a citizen and so on, not only this you can also apply for the positions in your town centre as say head torturer of chief prosecutor giving you a lot of political power, and lastly you can use and abuse the courts to bring justice or revenge to your family’s enemies.

These are but a taste of the many available objectives one can complete in the guild 2, As for the graphics Id have to say a lot of detail was put into the game however the faces of the people can look a bit unrealistic, especially the women. In closing I would like to say that the game is quite enjoyable and apart from a few bugs it promises much enjoyment for players.
