Awesome STRATEGY game based on Tolkein's masterpiece.
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.
