Editorial Review:
Stronghold 2 gives players a chance to relive the glories of the first classic Stronghold game. Contruct mighty castles, protect your subjects from plagues of rats and be covered in honor. Players will see medieval life in all its forms, from festivals and jousts to drunken wenches serving their lord dinner. Fortify your citadel or leave it open, appease the peasantry or control them with fear&violence -- it's all up to you. Stronghold 2 is the most accurate depiction of siege-warfare and castle-life ever portrayed in a computer game.

Rating:  - Stronghold 2
I liked this title. Simulated siege warfare is always exciting, especially when the graphics are tuned enough to communicate the particular brand of chaos and action inherent in medieval conflict. And I've always enjoyed the idea of building a massive fortress.
In Stronghold 2, the object of the game is to build up a castle and, in some modes, to build an army and overwhelm your enemies' castles. The focus in the game on both of those things, really, and not one over the other. You have ... Read More
Rating: - Fun, but flawed
Overall this is a very fun game, but it suffers from some bugs. There are two parts to the game. The first is really just an extended tutorial that shows you how to build up and manage your castle. I found this part kind of boring. The second part is where you defend your castle and attack others. This is when the game got fun for me as I explored different strategies. Unfortunately once I got good at the game, it became too easy to outwit the very stupid computer opponents. For example, on one ... Read More
Rating:  - Challenging medieval strategy game
Excellent game. You have to build your city and the commodity chains as well, including the production of food and military supplies. Very exciting and challenging, you'll have great time trying to organize your city to get to the objective just in time.
Rating:  - 3 strikes you're out Firefly
I bought the first, and was disappointed. Then I fell for Crusader. Better, but still fell short of expectations and just not fun enough to recommend. Now we get this garbage. Rather than fix the management of the game and the actual warfare, what we get is more BS to juggle. Goodluck if you choose the warfare campaign, you'll be too busy trying to deal with ever growing crime problems while the computer either a.) sits back and does nothing the entire game or b.) attacks you with hundreds of troops 5 ...

Rating: - Outstandingly accurate
Having been a competative swordfighter for years (medieval fencing- full contact martial art), I'd been exposed to and done a great deal of research on the intricacies of medieval life and warfare. I was astounded to see the level of detail in this game... combat AI is absolutely enjoyable and the enemy lords are relentless. I love the strategies and tactics they use because they really do paralell those of the medieval age. And just wait until they decide to put a seige on your castle! You'll have your ... Read More
