Once you get over it, however, the tutorial does a pretty good job of introducing you to the basic game concepts. I had some small amount of trouble concentrating on what I was supposed to be doing because of this. While the tutorials themselves were fairly run of the mill, the voice used to convey the instructions was rather grating. My first run at playing the game involved the tutorial missions. It really does take an almost unacceptable amount of time to get to the main menu. Of course, this isn't without a price – launching the game takes several minutes of time while you wait for it to load. It's easy to tell that the developers have put a lot of effort into making the initial presentation of Stronghold 2 a very pleasing experience. More games should really take the pressure of updating off of the player.Īfter launching the game again, I was treated to a very nicely done opening movie. The process was smooth and painless, earning Stronghold 2 another nod for taking things a notch above other games in (and out of) the genre.
Stronghold 2 game time Patch#
The first time the game launched, it automatically detected that a patch was available, and began downloading it. Feeling that this boded well, I pressed on. I was suitably impressed by the graphics used to entertain during the normally mundane process of getting the game up and running. My first experience with the game was with the installation utility … if you don't count the box and manual, of course. Likewise, the more peace-loving type of player will enjoy Stronghold 2's presentation of life as the lord of a village full of ready-to-serve peasants.
Fans of warfare involving bow and arrow and sword and shield will feel right at home in this game.
Stronghold 2 is an interesting cross between a real-time strategy war game and a medieval life simulation.
