Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders review:
Fans of RTS should definitely take a look at this game, as should those who are normally put off other strategy games by the over emphasis on the strategy part. The way it is incorporated in the game doesn’t involve any stopping of the gameplay, meaning the action doesn’t have to stop, keeping the players attention more than some other RTS may.
Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders preview:
There's also vague talk of online support on a massive scale, and given that multiplayer was the original game's strongest point, we have high hopes for the sequel. If it's half as fun as it looks, we could be in for a treat when it reaches the west early next year. And PC gamers needn't feel left out, as a version of the game is also being planned for the beige box.
