User Rating: 9 | The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II PC
Well its safe to say that LOTR battle for middle earth 2 is a lot better then the first LOTR battle for middle earth, its has so much more things in it and you can do a lot more as you can imagine. This game is much more stratigic then the first and is harder when it comes to fighting against the computer. The tutorials are a lot more helpful and it is eaier to get used to the gameplay then the first battle for middle earth. They have just added so much more then the first gameweather it is more passive powers or just more things to build, the game has been improved a great deal. They have a new thing called war of the ring which takes players to a different part of gaming when it comes to battle for middle earth and they can experiance a new way to rule over middle earth. The gameplay is fantastic and the graphics are very impresive compared to other stratergy games. One of the best things that they added that i thought wa really cool was the ew featrue of being able to make your own hero for all races and being able to play as the heros you created in skermish and for online play, it gives you the freedom to play as someone not from any LOTR movie or game its someone you have created and given a name, you could even call your hero by your name so that you the haro and i find that realy cool nd i nice new feature to the game. The only 2 things that i did not especially like is the online play, it is still very good but the way they set out the server is a bit more confusing then the first game and and it is not has easy to get around the servers. The other thing is the campain i dissapointed to finish the campain so soon, it only has 8 levels for both the good and evil side. In the first battle for middle earth there was a lot more levels, there was at least 20 levels and you get into the game and the story and the you finish the game so quickly and its over, i didnt like that. Shore the levels you play in campain are really good but there wasnt enough levels. All in all the game worth buying but it would be a lot better of a buy if there were more levels in campain and that the multiplayer server isnt so confusing. But other wise everything else is really good.
