Awesome STRATEGY game based on Tolkein's masterpiece.

User Rating: 10 | The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth PC
This game falls in the footsteps of the Age of Empires game. The game is totally based on the trilogy of The Lord of the Rings - the motion picture, not the book. It would have been much better if it was directly incorporated from the book including more characters like Imrahil the Swan Prince who joins in the battle of Minas Tirth.
The battle mode is the usual adaptation of strategy games combined with storyline and story terrain. The overview mode however shows us the overall progress in the game and also gives the feeling that we are playing god.
There was a speculation that the distribution of power in the units. However according to me the distribution is just right. Each race has its own speciality, like Isengard for siege weapons, Rohan for cavalry and heros, etc.
Personally I love the game and Lord of the Rings, hope you do too.
