Mount and Blade is Back, back with a bang too!

A new overhauled map, a New Faction and of course Multiplayer!

The new map is not something that could be seen as gamechanging in the world of gaming, however compared to the rather blocky and sharp map of the Orginal game this map is smooth and flowing, it has the high mountains still creating the chokepoints that can prevent the movement of armies, but the land rises and dips slowly and it feels more natural.

The new faction the cold Kingdom of Vaegirs is a nice new addition to the game as well, where before the nords and the Khergit Khanate spill into one another this time it is separated by a faction that some would say is almost Russian Based, large axed awesome archers and nimble horsemen ideal for the hit and run type of commander.

And of course Multiplayer, this is something that has transformed the game it has allowed massive battles for castles, villages and fields, what is nice is the money system, there is no tier ranking system that means new players are playing against other with uber weapons everyone starts on the same amount of gold and you must earn the money in kills for the better equipment.

But the thing that makes this one of the best games out there is the fact that the community is so active, i write this reivew almost 3 years since it has come out and there are still mods in development that allow the game that can get boring and repeative sometimes to change and feel like a whole new game.

If you need one game in your Collection make it this, not that expensive, the graphics and the sound and the feel may not be that of a big AAA game with millions in budget, but the idea and the amount of mods make this game enjoyable for all, and I mean all!
