Firefly has finally done what was asked of them - they transitioned Stronghold Crusader into 3D. The game literally feels like they patched the original to be in 3D. In addition all the new features really do bring as well more to the same experience - you can have your traditional horse archer setup but you can also throw in the new units and abilities to let you truly take over the battlefield - Because unlike most sequels it has not made your traditional strategies obsolete.

The graphics are in the same art style as the original game and flow quite well, I do not have a very strong system but it does run like butter on it - it may not be the most intense graphically, but it is very pleasing to the eye. As well the campaigns are varied and interesting - there are a series of tutorials as well as 'learning campaigns' that let you learn the ropes of the existing and new features.

And then there is the trail - they have come back with a vengeance - you'll be spending a lot of time trying to get through them because of one reason. The AI. The features of the original return, skirmishes, AI in multiplayer and all that. I've played one match and I was soundly defeated - the AI knows how to utilise all the units and their strategies perfectly - but not so much that they appear to cheat.

If you're a fan of the original, this is more of the same - but better. I would fully recommend it.
