The wonderful graphics and cut scenes are nice, but it's solid, innovative gameplay -- not cut scenes -- that makes a game great. Highland Warriors sadly misses the mark.

Taking out large defensive structures may be easy, but building them from scratch is a chore, especially since the current interface doesn't promote it.

The game play is simple enough but you must definitely be there to control the town building aspect as well as simple control over battles as most of your time will be spent collecting resources and awarding master craftsman awards to your peasants and finding someone to battle.

It probably had banger graphics and AI when it came out but nowadays it’s just an old and mediocre (maybe even a bit below that) game. Only nostalgia keeps me 'enjoying' this piece of interactive software.

Historical accuracy doesn't compensate for the deficiencies in its gameplay and graphics... It has some good ideas, but it lacks polish.

Once your army is assembled, you'll encounter little or no resistance from the enemy troops, which essentially kills any sense of accomplishment a player might have after successfully finishing a mission.

While the specifics of the setting might be novel, the gameplay consists of ground that has already been covered by better titles, some many years old and sitting in bargain bins.
