Stronghold: Crusader

More features than the original, but no cheats!!

I found Stronghold Crusader to have a better overall gameplay than it's predecessor, thanks in part to the addition of assassins, mercenary camps, more characters, calvary, etc.

I think that the storyline for the campaign version feels a little less involved than the original, since there are 4 short campaigns, rather than a single continuous journey. Regardless, it is fun to play with Richard the Lionheart, even if it is only for a short while.

The only bummer is that there are no cheats for this version, so you'll have to invest long periods of time to complete each segment.

Overall, it's a good game, but not on my list of "all time greatest".
