The Bad;
"What the heck am I supposed to do?" That was the first thing I thought.
It took 30 minutes just to figure out how it worked!
The Good;
The graphics are very good and when I finally figured the controls out, it was a pretty good buy. I love making enourmous armies in evil campaign!
The Ugly;
The swords! When they fight, they miss and the opponents still die!

Good game

Great game! I have a lot of fun on it even if I lose to the strategy of my opponent. It is sort of addicting especially to someone that loves the books/movies of Lord of the Rings.

This game plays out like Civilization 3. You control groups of peasants, troops, hero's, and other beasts as you build, destroy, plunder, and conquer your way across various maps. It's all top-down view and some of the controls feel... awkward with the 360 controller. I'm not saying that any other console controller would feel better, but I think this game should have been left for play on the PC with the use of the Mouse and Keyboard.

I was hoping this game would play out more like the older LOTR games for (original)Xbox. That 3rd person view made for lots of fun as you commanded your character through harrowing tasks. I was really looking forward to bringing that style of play to life with the great graphics of the 360. Not so... Boo urns...

good but lacking

overall it wasnt bad but it wasnt that great either. The freeform kinda mode is pretty boring and way to easy but the game is saved by the story portion of it. there are definatly better strategy games out there especialy on pc.

Just a fun game u can't put down

Hey i've had this game for about a month now, and i play it regularly, and its just crazy fun, because you can go online, or set up a skirmish game with the computer, or play the campaign, which has 2 parts a good and evil. once u start playing this game u will not want to put it down. some people say that these kinds of games(RTS) are only ment for computer, but the layout and the feel of this game is amazing, and u just get hooked. if u are looking for a fun game to play this is for u!

My kids love it

We bought this game for my boys - 5 and 10 - for Christmas. We already have the PC version, but that doesnt stop them from playing it constantly. It uses the soundtrack from the movie, which makes it decent listening to as their game system is in the same room where my PC is. Most games I have them turning off the sound very promptly.

My husband says the PC version has better control than the Xbox version, but the boys dont mind.

Worth the investment.

I bought this item as a gift for my grandson. He once had this video but it burned out. He was very excited about getting this one. Sounds like he rated this 5 stars. Me too, because of his happiness.

disapointing

This is a great RTS... on the PC.
Unfortunately after playing 3 different Xbox360 copies on 2 different consoles, I have come to the conclusion that it will never work properly on Xbox 360. Please do yourself a favor and don't buy the game for 360.
The PC version is a well done, fast paced, entertaining game, it is just to o buggy to even play on a 360.

Sweet RTS for a console

Console RTS's have been pretty bad as a general rule. This one really changed that with a sweet control scheme. If you like RTS games and The Lord of the Rings then pick this up. It may not be as revolutionary as the upcoming Endwar....but it's a good time.
