I bought this game last year when it still cost $50. It was fun at first but not totally worth it. It didn't take much strategy to win, just superior numbers. But it was at least fun to make giant trolls and have hordes of warg riders. If you're looking for a good stratedgy game get "Rise of Nations"

That is your fault that you bought a used game, but you don't have to give the game a 1 star rating moron, this is a good game.

Good game, no freedom

I thought it was a fun game, though I was expecting a non-Warcraft format. I like the freedom of being able to build where I want. I guess it adds an extra aspect of play. Also, I was not impressed with the difficult setting. My first time playing I beat two hard computer players.

Not a Stradegy Game its a pathetic piece of (...)

First things first if you want a good RTS get Empire Earth 2 or 1 either way there both vantastic

This game is just dumb its cool that its Lord of the Rings there vantastic movies but so far every game has stunk in this game when your Gondor or Rohan you get a max pop of 200 men and thats against one other person with 4 you get 150 for those who dont know what a pop is its how many soliders you can have you can not defend your base and atack and have a big battle when you only get that much when Mordor or Isenguard 400 against 1 other person now thats an improvement but you get no walls oh yeah and each siege weopon for each team takes up 5 pop points and trolls take up 10 ents take up 20! thats just pathetic.and the special power stuff is dumb You can only build were theres some sort of base type thing

For those who want huge epic battles and want to make huge cities and forts get EE2

Blah

I was expecting something a bit more epic from the likes of Lord of the Rings but it's a bit boring and slow going. I'll stick with the World of Warcraft, the game "The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth" should be. =P

Most Pathetic RTS on the market

All they did was take a poorly made RTS engine and slap LOTR into the title. If you played age of empires or Empire Earth or even star craft back in the day, you'd understand what I mean. This game is horrible.

The game looks great, however the single player campaigns quickly grow tiresome. Online play suffers from EA's peer to peer model, players often disconnect to avoid a loss online resulting in a frustrating waste of a half hour of your life. If you don't have it already buy Warcraft 3 instead.

After playing the game some more I came back to edit my review. Here is my final opinion. Do Not Buy IT. Read the unfavorable reviews in this forum to get an idea of the problems with this game. I myself do not care to invest any more time into this worthless pursuit.

A sad sad excuse for an rts

The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth

The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth is a grand little game that is based on the lotr movie series. The gameplay is fun and action packed. The graphics are great and the special powers astounding. Ok...so why do you just give it 4 stars? Well there are some issues that I have with this game. For instance, having to buy special powers for every new scenario is tedious at best and boring at worst. In the begining it is way to time consuming and only in later missions does the pace pick up. There are to few heroes as well. Where is Galadriel and where is Tom Bombadil? Even so this is a great game but for number 3 they can make some adjustments to make a great game even better.

exellent game
