Sweetness [Posted on 2008-01-27]
alright well for anyone who played the first game and liked it you will LOVE the second one. everything i didn't like about the first game they fixed, and everything i did like they made it even better. no more set base building, it's all free range building. there are a whole bunch of new powers, 3 new races, and you can create custom heroes! i highly recommend this game! 5/5

Great Fun [Posted on 2008-02-05]
This game is one of the better RTS games I've played. It's addictive and has virtually no learning curve.

If you liked the LOTR movies and/or books, and if you like RTS games, you'll probably be as hooked on this one as I was.

My Sons Enjoy this Game [Posted on 2008-02-25]
I bought this game at the request of my 15 year old son with the "LOTR: Rise of the Witch King" expansion pack. He and both of his brothers are still playing it regularly and none of them has thrown anything at the computer screen, so I guess it is a pretty good game. :)

Be warned!! May not work by design. [Posted on 2008-04-03]
Although the first game was pretty damn good, be careful buying this one. Apparently for some reason EA has intentionally made this game incompatible with some NVIDIA Geoforce graphics cards even if they meet the memory requirements. Not sure why they did this and don't care either. There was no information about this in the description on Amazon and nothing on the box that I received either. Double check the web to see if it will work with your card.

Fun game [Posted on 2008-04-23]
I was pleasantly surprised with this game, I think I paid 10 bucks for it and I've gotten a ton of play time out of it, it's really been fun especially for the price. It's a bit more simplistic than some RTS games I've played but still fun and I always enjoy "The War of the Ring" game type. Campaign isn't super long but the replay value comes in playing the skirmishes and other game modes. I wouldn't pay $50 for this but for less than $15 you can't go wrong here and I 100% recommend this title. Music is really good too. 5 stars for fun factor and 4 stars overall (for re-playability and complexity)
