I hadn’t played the original game, but took a chance on preordering Majesty 2 on Steam, which gave the original and its expansion out for free as a bonus.

Majesty felt like an old game for me. Really old, like pre-Starcraft, instead of 2000. Interesting for a little while, but aside from the difficulty, the missions felt like you were just doing the same stuff every time. I pretty much lost interest in continuing before I finished the main game or got to the expansion.

Now that I’ve played Majesty, I’m kinda disappointed to read that a lot of what I didn’t care for about it wasn’t really fixed or improved upon in Majesty 2. I guess I’ll find out soon enough.

Having read the review, I have to say: wow, Troy. You addressed each and every point I needed addressed for me to make the judgment whether to get this one or not. It is complete, concise, and clear. Great job!

My quip with Majesty (TOG), was that, while being an RTS, the gameplay was actually that of a watered-down City Builder. If it was, in fact a full-blown City Builder, I would’ve liked it much more than what I eventually felt about it, and that it was being an RTS without the S, a city builder without the city, and an excellent idea in a so-so game. The only thing I really need to know is whether Majesty II improves on those elements, or whether it’s an OK Majesty, which in that case, I’d stick to the original (which I still play, occasionally, although not whole-heartedly).

Did I just miss it or was there no mention of the multi player in the review. The only reference I could find was the “This is not a game designed for replayability, multiplayer aside”

Aside from that, interesting review, kind of makes me want to check out the original one.
