It is an empty game that will leave you feeling empty. I really wish I had something better to say but this metacritic account was made just to add to the many reviews all saying the same thing: Don't waste your money. I am very sorry for all of those anticipating something great, but this game is just not worth it. I truly wish that I could tell people to try it and see for themselves but accept this warning from someone whom is sorely disappointed with the amount of money spent and the result I got. Large maps, skirmish mode, building variety. Especially because in the back of my mind is that it is not as if much of what I want will come out in an expansion pack. and the feeling left by SH 3 is still worse. Then add bugs and remove a number of options and things to do from Sims 2 original, multiply it by ten. Imagine, if you can that feeling of getting the Sims 3 after playing Sims 2 with all of the expansion packs and gigs of downloaded custom content. Every facet of this game that I have experienced so far has left me wanting. But it is ridiculous expecting players not to lose patience waiting for wood cutters to level a forest, just to continue. I love Settlers Heritage of Kings for that very reason.

I'm sorry, I am in fact one of those people who likes to sit back and watch my people go about their business. Sure the first two missions were fine but number 3 is a case study in why strategy titles like this need a speed up mode. I haven't tried the war campaign but so far the economic campaign has failed to excite. Maps are microscopic in comparison to SH2 maps. Even sandbox mode was lacking the ability to build an awesome castle. As one who loved stronghold 2, I felt empty playing SH3.

I love the stronghold series and I ALWAYS give a game a good opportunity to impress me before I make a decision. Maps are microscopic in I wish all of the other reviews were incorrect.
