A Great First impression of middle-earth!

User Rating: 9.6 | The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth PC
First of all i love RTS so when i heard about this game, i was excited. then when i got it, i was hoping it was everything i wanted. well it is, this game is much like any rts where you have a base area and troops. with battle for middle earth, you do not have to start each mission with nothing and then produce troops and research. BFME starts you off in a role of the main characters and then quickly splits them into sections and lets you start off the rts parts of the game, in the first mission you will have to build an army but from there you keep your troops throughout, the only uprades you have to make are for fire arrows, armor, etc. But since you get a quite massive amount of troops, you do not have to go into each mission with a base building philosophy, you can just take your troops from the last mission and concure the current map. i think this is great and am glad to see it in a game. overall i think this game rocks.
