Description
In The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II, the sequel to the critically acclaimed RTS game The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth you now have the chance to experience all that Middle-earth was meant to be.
With all new content from J.R.R. Tolkien's original fiction, delve deeper than ever before and engage in new battles that go beyond the award-winning movie trilogy. Wage war in the North and assume command of the most storied civilizations in all of Middle-earth history - the Elven and Dwarven armies - or fight on the side of Evil with heroes and creatures that have never been seen in The Lord of the Rings films. Defend or overtake never before seen lands such as Dol Guldur, The Misty Mountains, and Mirkwood as you unleash powerful new weapons and abilities - summon dragons, cause volcanoes to erupt, or bring down a cataclysmic lightning strike.
But beware, with greater power comes greater adversity. Your enemies, commanded by a powerful new AI system, possess a greater tactical edge and more powerful spells. Will your armies have the fortitude to persevere?

"One for LOTR fans!"
If you like LOTR you won't be disappointed.
Great fun game. Don't expect anything to complicated though. Simple RTS fundamentals will win the game but in saying that it's still a challenge if you up the AI to hard +.
Graphics are good and the sound is brilliant with loads of sound bites from the movies as well as the music.
Graphics 8/10
Sound 10/10
Strategy 6/10
OVERALL 8/10
"Great game"
This is a great game although the campaign was very short the skirmish mode adds up for it.
Great game fully recommended
8.5/10
"Good, all those who like age of mothology type game will like it"
Good game lots of different ways to play good story line to the game and fun.
"Excellent RTS."
Just a really good RTS. Stays true to the movie and throws in extra characters and story parts. Great if you are into building and defensive tactics. Graphics are nice but not stunning, gameplay is excellent. Highly reccomended title!!
"Excellent in many ways"
The graphics in this game are very pretty, yet it seems stable enough compared to other games out of EA. If this game starts to slow down there are many ways to improve the speed of the game, other than just lowering graphic settings.
The gameplay is also well done, especially the way units are trained, as units are trained in large groups it makes battles seem larger, and more exhilirating. Also, the games aren't limited to traditional RTS, the option to play a board game style match over middle earth is surpisingly entertaining.
