User Rating: 9 | The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II X360
The Real Time Strategy game Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle Earth 2 is arguably still the best RTS on Xbox 360. The game does a wonderful job of including all of the different characters and factions from the movie. While at the same time the use of the hand controller to dictate commands has been masterfully laid out well. The single player mode is above average and it does compliment the online play by allowing one to unlock new characters. I would love to see the game developers build a similar game centered around the Hobbit. At this point the game is showing it's teeth. Nonetheless there could have been a bit more stretched out of this game through the use of DLC - say a map pack or two. Consequently the only average aspect of this game was it's single player campaign. It was'nt bad or anything but it was somewhat average and uneventful. Nevertheless this game is a must have for anyone who loves the movie Lord of the Rings and RTS games.
