Kingdom Under Fire The Crusaders

The interface is extremely clunky. Graphics are great 4 the X-box, but the story is not that entertaining. The Physics of the game (such as sunlight in your face) is unique. If you can get it on the cheap I would recommend it.

i gave this game about 4 hours 2 become fun, & ultimately I wish I had those 4 hours back. you'll be excited when you get cavalry, but that excitement will disappear quickly when you realize you have 2 manually run them back & forth through the enemy while your hero is getting sliced up, & that you have 2 do this with a very clunky camera system. i think 4 real-time strategic war games you're better off on a pc. pick up starcraft or any of a thousand other RTS title out there that blow KUF away.

Basically this game is Dynasty Warriors, with some strategy elements. Or better yet Dynasty Warriors 4 people who like RTS games & fantasy elements. It's very long, so if your like me, cheap & hate buying $50 games that only last maybe 10 hours. the lack of multiplayer, & custom soundtrack really sucks though.

Okay, I expected this 2 be about the crusades, no, its about the "Demon Crusade". Although the poor lines, & hilarious cheesyness can make you laugh so hard, but only 4 the first few levels, then its not fun, its boring.

Yes words are misspelled. Yes they lied about the custom soundtrack. No the crappy rock music doesn't match with bloody medieval fantasy warfare. It's still a fun game, & if a game can overcome all of those flaws & still be fun then the creators have made a great game despite their failure 2 grasp the English language. It has an excellent storyline with all the characters. The graphics are pretty good. There are hundreds of soldiers on the maps at once with pretty good detail. I thought the voice acting was well above average but not great & no it didn't always match what was on the subtitles.

I haven't played this game in almost a year but have fond memories of it & plan 2 pick it up again this weekend. I have the prequal "Kingdom Under Fire The Heroes" which closes most of the plot holes & answers many of the questions from this one.

My best guess is that because these games are pretty challenging; most of these negative reviews are from people that couldn't hack it & got frustrated. For those losers who that applies to...go back 2 Mario brothers & Zelda. The rest of you should get this game if you can still find it. Check the bargain bins, it'll be well worth what you'll pay 4 it. I also highly recommend the Heroes. I don't think one is really better than the other, they are both great.
