    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!

    Other than the fact that you can wage 10,000-unit battles, don't expect much difference between Stronghold Crusader Extreme and the regular, nonextreme Stronghold Crusader.

    This is such a strange package to review, because essentially it's a rerelease of a six-year old game with a smattering of new content that's designed for hardcore fans.
  3. Not only is Stronghold Crusader Extreme dated in terms of graphics and sound, but the interface is also slow and cumbersome.
