With all due respect, if you've lost interest at a regional after an hour because of the game alone, then you've missed out on the other 90% of a FIRST Robotics Competition event. I think the fact that 600 teams and 20,000+ students and mentors will come to play Recycle Rush is a clear indicator that the game isn't everything.
That being said, the seniors on my team are the only ones that remember all the way back to Ultimate Ascent, but even they have been totally absorbed by literally every aspect of Stronghold. The theme, the challenge, the standards, and despite my increasing lack of tolerance, even the Monty Python puns...
I'll admit, I was skeptical when FIRST released the Disney teaser video. However, they backed it up with a great engineering challenge and some incredibly strategic gameplay. There's a reason that medieval themed App store games have had such success, and I think FIRST really hit it out of the park with Stronghold.
