Summary: The best game ever!
Review: Stronghold Crusader is the best strategy game ever!! It's got so many charecters, campains, maps and great detail! The third level is the one I can't beat, but it's still fun to watch your enemy build their own castle.

Summary: Good Game
Review: Stronghold: Crusader, the follow up to Stronghold, does a good job fixing things that did not make sense in the first game, and bringing a whole new look to the second version. The idea for battling in new terrain is excellent. The challenge is to fight for every spare inch of irrigated land for your food, without it you are dead. The new units such as Arabian Horsemen and Fire-Throwers are excellent. One pick with this game is why is there no level selection? You can only play on one level, and on the first version you could choose between many different levels of difficulty. Also, there should be an easier way to look at the entire playing field instead of just being able to turn on 90 degree angles for viewing. But overall, this game is done well and you will be playing for hours. Almost a perfect comination castle simulation and city/economy simulation. B+Joseph Dworak

Summary: Excellent game. Dangerously addicting
Review: The gamer who gave 2 starts to this game obviously has no clue of good games. I agree only on the part that rotation could be better. Thats it, the rest is awesome. Graphics: 9
Sound: 8
Concept: 10
Difficulty: 9 You have ability to build your stronghold castle the way you want it and this game requires you to think every move you make to crush your enemy, otherwise you'll loose it fast. Therefore, your success depends on food supplies, religion(building church or temple), tax rates in order to grow your population (HINT). In addition, stone, iron and wood supplies
will allow you to build strong castles with all kinds of towers and add armory and other buildings. The more people you have the faster army you can build and you have to keep them happy(again enough food, good tax rates and bless them with your priest), otherwise they leave your castle and you loose it. From Archers to Horse Archers, from Swordsmen to building Catapults with Engineers to knock down enemy castle you are in control of your battle. I have 1MHz Pentium III Dell machine with 384MB of RAM (PC 133) and decent 64MB geForce 4 TI 6200 video card and DO NOT HAVE ANY technical issues especially controling the characters. The bottom line get it, enjoy and ignore bad reviews. Those people cannot run todays games on 16MB video card and 64MB or RAM. I dont have top-of-the-line PC, however yes I recently added more RAM and good video card and enjoy it since.

Summary: This game is UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Review: This is the greatest game Ive ever played bar none. When I was in highschool I loved Civilization 2. I recently got a computer and wanted a good game. I bought Civilization 3 and it seemed to have lost something. I cant put my finger on it but it just didnt have the soul. Or maybe I have changed and need more exitement. Well anyway I took a chance on Stronghold Crusader and havent stopped playing since. This game is simply amazing. You build up a castle(kind of like sim city). You have to build houses for the people and cathedrals. The graphics are simply beautiful. The battles are very INTENSE. And strategy changes on each skirmish. What worked in one, dosent get you anywhere in another. This game has the soul I was talking about earlier. I really feel angered when my castle is getting burned down. I take it personal. How many games emmerse you to the extent that you get so involved in the game. I havent ever taken a game so much to heart. Take a chace on this one. Its not very expensive and has kept me at it for many days. Very addictive. And the thrill of beating a lord who has been given you a hard time. That thrill of victory is priceless. Go out and buy this game. NOW!
