A lot of work obviously went into this, this is especially evident in the campaign taking the Fellowship through all the stages of the book. My one complaint is the mini-map (a Palantir, of course!) which shows everything indistinctly, or at times, no troops appear at all. Not a good situation to lose track of troops, or worse yet, of heros. The heros are an important part, as are the upgrades, and it's such fun to do a lightening sword shot with Gandalf. Well worth the $10 it cost...

Not sophisticated but fun

That pretty much says it all. The graphics are nice and the two good and evil campaigns were fun. The game is a little simplistic, however. The on-line feature doesn't interest me so, once you play through each campaign, you're done. No real long-term playability. For the price though, it was a good buy.

Recommended.

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

This is one game I don't mind playing with my boy for hours. He is so into it and it is great for concentration and multitask skills. We both love it. I would have rated 5 stars overall, if it didn't sometimes get 'stuck' after many uses.
Great price!

This game is freakin awesome!

This game is probably the coolest game ever made.(ok so its a little drastic),BUT! The game is awesome. There are a variety of soildiers and other things the graphics arnt all dat great but you will never notice. when you make soildiers, they will hv command pts. they coul;dve let you command more troops but its ok.The hero attack are so funny watching the enemys flying all over the place. overall this game is awesome. Hope this was a help to u!

Great Game for Great Franchise

Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth is a great lotr game.It has 4 factions and they are Isengard, (If you remember Saruman thats where his tower was) Mordor, (which is where the one ring was destroyed) Rohan (where everyone acts overly dramatic but cool) and Gondor (where the stewart jumped off the castle). Each side is good in its own way. Gondor is good w/ defenses and footmen or infantry. Rohan is pretty straight forward but they're best w/ cavalry which is practically they're only military units. Mordor Summons brute strength with elphants ring wraiths huge armies and pretty much any nasty creature/villain you can think of. unfortunately no sauron. Isengard is like mordor but with better infantry. Isengard's infantry are handy especially w/ upgrades which is the smartest thing for them. Now heroes in that game are great. Each and every single unit in the game has 10 veterancy levels. Each level up they become more potent in battle and gain more prowess. (lol i know im a 12 year old and im talking like an adult) anyways it has a unique interface too. Instead of having the sidebar or the bottom bar they have a small plantir in the far left hand corner of the screen. The reason for that is so you can focus more on the battles instead of the command bar. And instead of having workers they have a circular base with build areas and you click on a build site and construct whatever you want. You can also get power points. You use the power of the evenstar or teh one ring for power. when you have enough power points for something you simply get into the power menu and selec what you want. each side has its own special super unit of doom. for gondor and rohan they have the army of teh dead. mordor and isengard have teh balrog. now each of those expire after a while.the campaign is great for both sides too. i loved using lurtz and killing aragorn and teh rest of the fellowship at helms deep. In conclusion Battle for Middle Earth is a great game. I guess they have a sequel w/ and expansion now but im not going to get it because its probably exactly like the first.

Great game, but should have waited!!

This is a great RTS game, but I bought it for 39.99 and the next week it went down to 19.99. Oh well, should have waited, but still a great game.

Easy but fun

This is actually a easy game for people who are good at playing STG. Even though, you still can enjoy the storyline of The Lord of the Rings at lot. So, no matter you are new or expert of STG, you all will like this game.
