    Although it doesen't really warant a retail release, it could have been launched as a free patch or something similar, Extreme brings the old Stronghold Crusader game back in the show. The missions may seem hard and unforgiving, but to all the reviewers who gave the game a bad score because of this I have only one thing to say: This game was made for people who actually know how to play it, not for you, so stop whineing and learn to play a game before you review it!

    Well, i loved the stronghold series, and was pleased when this one came out, after installing it, i played it - I was shocked, the graphics, were awful, stronghold 2 was much better than this, Firefly really need to fire those graphics producers. My opinion - Dont buy the game, its impossibly hard to complete missions, and its just battle battle battle, no twists or turns, no exploration ability like age of empires ( A great series may i add ) So yeah. Dont buy it. Its not worth it. Full Review »

    Stronghold Crusader is my favorite game and i highly recommend it yet... the "Extreme" version is pretty much the same thing but like playing "EVOLVES" on warcraft 3 and starcraft online. random outposts spawning random troops?!?!?!!?!? 3 letters... WTF anyway if you are a hardcore stronghold player who collects all of the games don't waste your money on this one. it feels like the horrible, horrible disappointment of stronghold 2 and stronghold legends. although this time instead of missing that little spark its missing EVERYTHING.
