Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth 2 for Windows

Pros: THE RTS game for Lord of the Rings fans.

Cons: Medieval Total War is better if you want to pull off complex battle strategy.

The Bottom Line: You won't find a better Lord of the Rings based game on the PC than this.

Pros: Beautiful graphics, great sound, War of the Ring mode great addition, AI is much smarter.

Review: The Lord of the Rings is such a strong brand name that EA could release “The Lord of the Rings – Hobbit House Party” and it would sell millions. Thankfully, no such game is in development, and it’s a good thing, because it would waste precious time ...

Pros: Gameplay moves forward rather quickly.

Cons: This games take some practice to get good at it, it moves rather quickly.

The Bottom Line: Definitely an above average game. Fun to play and if you liked Age of Empires II, you will probably like this game after you get used to it.

Review: This is not a game that I myself purchased; my friend bought me a copy so we could play multiplayer. How awesome is that? About getting used to the game play; well it's a lot like Age of Empires II with respect to the controls, except more advanced in ...
