Best described as quasi-RTS, middleearth battle simulator. While the game is extremely fun it lacks depth and longevity.
The Good: - Will please LOTR fans. - Immersive graphics and sounds. Especially the sound and music. - Extremely Fun, movie-esque game play. The Bad: - Some new ideas, interesting concepts – mixed results. - Tries... Read Full Review

EA's long string of Lord of the Rings titles based on the blockbuster film trilogy has left much to be desired. The Two Towers and Return of the King games used simple button mashing gameplay which was amusing but grew t... Read Full Review

Can't play what you can't install
I spent three days trying to install this game. EA tech support sent the standard "out of the manual" suggestions and none worked. I went online and checked the forums to find that there were many (too many) players out ... Read Full Review

This game was surpisingly great
This game I was a little skeptic to buy because I was dumb enough to buy the other LOTR strategy game, The war of the Ring, because the one previous was not at all what it was cracked up to be, I wanted that game to be a... Read Full Review

A good game, even though it's an EA game.
Gameplay - Easy to use and quite exciting to use, you become really involved in the battles, you order your armies out to slaughter the enemy and tell your heroes to use their special moves. Usually this is just standard... Read Full Review
