| Publisher: EA Games Developer: EA LA ESRB: Teen Release Date: March 2, 2006 Synopsis: LORD OF THE RINGS: THE BATTLE FOR MIDDLE EARTH II plays out much like the game of Risk in that players must move their armies around a board that is covered in territories. Players will find that this new battle between good and evil takes place on a much grander scale with six different factions combining to against the forces of Mordor. Players can also combine forces in multiplayer mode to get the most out of the fights. This ability to customize the fighting options makes for a great game no matter what type of mood the player is in. All of these factors make playing the second installment in the Battle for Middle Earth series just as exciting and entertaining as the first time around, without the worry that players will just be repeating the game in a different format. LORD OF THE RINGS: THE BATTLE FOR MIDDLE EARTH II is perfect for Tolkien fans. |
Good: Awesome hero units, amazing battles, Middle Earth goodness, easy resource management Bad: Elves seem too powerful, defensive structure do little, having Sauron teach your hobbits flying lessons |
