This was the game my parents bought me for playing my PlayStation2 form the first time. At first I found it amazing and after 18 years, I still consider it a hidden gem in games history. It is an remake from a game originally launched for DOS and ir has also an GBA version, but the 2003 PC/Console version is definitely the best one. The graphics are a bit outdated, but intermediate for its time. The gameplay is the highlight of this game due its diversity. You can raid charriots by arrow, raid castles and retrieving treasure, join joust competitions, attack lords in their territories to claim them (preparing your strategy and armies) and invade castles with catapults. Oh, almost forgot: The way you play alters the story and the end of the game. It is a game that deserves to be played and replayed.
Would really love this to come back! I want to beat it! I was around 4 - 8 yrs old when I played it on pc in the 2000s. It was too hard for me, but I liked it. I really want a chance to try it out and beat it!
