If you have played Patrician or Port Royale, you played this game. Very few differences and additions to this game don't change the stale formula of brainless buy/sell action. In fact the automation has been dumbed down so no way of making complex trade routes. The military and city infrastructure parts of the game are bare bones. If you want a city building game look else where, if you want a trading simulator, maybe check the above mentioned titles as you can buy them cheaper. Kalypso really needs to stop squirting out the same games over and over and make something that feels more than a visual upgrade or a patch
Just what the title says. In all honesty not much changes since the original Guild 2 to call this a stand alone and this includes bugs and problems... And this is in years time. Every time me and my wife go "hey why dont we play some guild 2 (because bugs aside the game is pretty great)" and then we remember why we stopped in the first place :D Bugs range from crashes, save problems to graphical glitches and path finding issues, this game has them all :D Will gladly remove this low score when ill see them bugs gone
