The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II (Value Game) reviews

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

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 game lots of different ways to play good story line to the game and fun.

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!!

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.
