Great game on PC, console version suffers from terrible lag.

I first played Battle for Middle Earth 2 on PC (collector's edition) when it first came out, I love this game and have played it thoroughly. It's very immersive and easy to get into with a steady difficulty curve.

There is however a terrible graphical error with this xbox version of this game, I bought this just to replay it for novelty value and boy was I disappointed. At first you won't notice much but on the last stages of the game where you have to participate in much longer campaigns often commanding many units at once - it lags like crazy making gameplay horrible. Camera movement is drastically hindered and I didn't enjoy playing this past a certain point because of this problem. Also the menu system isn't as good as the version on the PC. I would not recommend this console version of the game to anybody, I am taking the game back to CEX at the next opportunity.

All I can say is BFME2 is a fantastic game but to get the most out of it, purchase it for PC.
