Recommendation: yes 9 / 10 by I Scream Clone

This I feel is the benchmark by which all other 2008 sets should be measured against, it has loads of playability, a great minifig assortment, and is just plain fun to build as well as admire!

Recommendation: meh 4.2 / 5 from 14 reviews

This is a really fun set. Lego is top notch toys for replay value, but this one is staying assembled because the play value is already so high!You won't be able to get enough of this thing. I am a collecter I'm 29 years old, I have played with this several times. It is very ingenius. First it looks awesome, great detail from the wheels to the battering ram. Second the battering ram is cool! It is rubber band loaded pull back and blammo crownie castle walls!! Third the string pulled platform with the sword wielding troll is super cool, you can seriously attack castles in this way! Fourth and my personal favorite, the tower which the trolls attack has a wall made to break a way and release the floor of the second story prison cell which sends the captave troll flying out the bottom of the tower through the break away door, straight back to his troll buddies!! Crownies and Dwarfs beware this is one bad troll beast!!!

There's so much to this set it's hard not to be impressed. The Orc's siege engine is a thing of beauty (or terror!) and would look great on any battlefield. The Crown Knight's tower although basic, looks good and has great playability. I'm a big fan of the new Castle knights and fantasy minifigures and the inclusion of five of them is just enough for this set and as a booster to any army.
