Lord of The Rings: Battle for Middle Earth

I think this game has been quite successful and I think it could be improved, however overall Lord of The Rings: Battle for Middle Earth was a good game.

Voices can get annoying and you can save Boromir and kill Lurtz but he comes back later on in the game. Cheats would make the game more fun.

Overall one of the best strategy games I have ever played.

The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth is a game about the Lord of the Rings and the character's battle for their home land Middle Earth. (duh). You will get to play as good or evil. There are 3 areas of the game: Campaign, Skirmish, and Multiplayer. Campaign is when you play a series of battles with you're army following the story of the Lord of the Rings, or if you are on the evil side, creating you're own plot (to an extent). Skirmish is when you are playing a random battle being what ever side you would like on any map in Middle Earth. Multiplayer is the same a Skirmish except with up to 16 of your friends. There are 4 factions in the game: Gondor and Rohan for Good, and Mordor and Isengard for evil. In the Battle for Middle Earth, units come in Battalions for good and hordes for evil. Battalions come in 5's and hordes come in 10's. The interactive and graphic level for the game rocks.

ADDICTION LEVEL

----------------

The Addiction level in the game is high. This is because the game is so interactive, and if you are a lord of the rings fan, it will even be more addicting. You are able to rewrite history of Middle Earth and even if you are not familiar with The Battle for Middle Earth, you will love the interactive level in the game.

RATING: 8 stars for people who don't know Lord of the Rings, 10 stars of LOTR fans. This comes up to 9 stars average.

GRAPHICS

-----------

The Graphics in this game are great. To the texture in the soldier's armor, to the fear in their faces when facing a mountain troll, the graphics give you a feel that you are actually inside Middle Earth. The only downside to this is you will need a good computer (actually very good). Even if you have a kick- butt computer, in the huge battles, (Like Minas Tirith) sometimes the frame rate will drop down to 15 or so, making the battle very slow.

RATING: 8 stars- Great!!

MULTIPLAYER

-------------

The multiplayer on this game is good. It is not the best in the world, but it will get the job done. I usually go in the skirmishes before going on multiplayer with my friends.

RATING: 7 stars- good.

VALUE FOR MONEY

----------------

The LOTR the BFME is definitely worth you're money. The interactions level and even just the feel of the game is awesome and is worth you're money. A must have for any Lord of the Rings fan!!

You can get the Battle for Middle Earth for about $49.99 or so, which is definitely worth it.

RATING: 9 stars- Yes, definitely.

OVERALL RATING

---------------

The LOTR BFME is a great game. It is worth your while. While it is not perfect, it is one of the best Lord of the Rings games and even one of the best games I've seen out there. You should buy this if you are a Lord of the Rings fan as fast as you can. Others, you may want to rent it to see if it is you're style, but 99% of the people who do this will see something in this game is of their style.

RATING: 9 Stars. - Great game, way above average, a must have for any Lord of the Rings Fan's collection.

The first level of Lord of The Rings: Battle for Middle Earth starts out with you playing the Fellowship, while guiding them through Moria, this is a good experience that should not be missed. The game progresses from there, to the battle between good and evil at key points in the story such as Minas Tirith and Helms Deep, all of these points add up to make a very interesting and enjoyable game.

Lord of The Rings: Battle for Middle Earth is going to be great! You are able to play the entire series, even being able to choose your side, good or evil. The graphics are amazing. I watched a game demo on www.lordoftherings.ea.com and it was amazing! A great buy for any fan!!!!!!!!!

Battle for Middle Earth is a LOTR real time strategy game based on the movie? Oh yeah!!

Based on the movie (I just said that) you control the armies of middle earth and fight through some famous battles such as Helms Deep and the Battle of the Pelennor. Up to 300 units on screen (not confirmed) plus the ability to use your surroundings such as castle traps, it's gonna be 1 hell of a ride. The members of the fellowship are present and are invincible (not confirmed) and so are the many creatures and characters ffrom the films.

Hopefully we'll get this by the end of this year without delays, but until then sit tight and dream on fellow humans!
