Long live the Crusaders

First off let me say this, it's called "Crusader Extreme" and it definitely does deliver on the extreme part. It's not a new game and they never marketed as one, it's an expansion pack. I love Crusader and have been waiting a long time for this release. They just released the original game with a bonus pack, yea so what. How do you make a perfect game better? I think the extreme pack was a great add on and it did fill a hole that was missing in the original game. No one likes to hear "your army is at its maximum size".

It's to fast pace, I can't build a castle! That's why it's called Extreme if you can't handle it play crusader it's included in the game pack. Hard core player will love this expansion pack and crusader junkies will get their much-needed fix. I finished the trail in three days and found it to be a good expansion pack for crusader. I will be playing this one for some time to come.

More AI's would have made it better and AI editor would have been cool but it's still a very good expansion pack all in all. The 30 dollars price tag is a little high, wait for the price to drop some. But if you have never played crusader get it now as older copies are going for around 20 $ on ebay. It will take you some time to learn the original game.

Hopefully this will bring some much need light to one of the greatest games of all time. And maybe will see a crusader 2 in the future.

One more thing..... Wood needed : )
