Close notch RTS, closer to 4,5 stars though. June 15, 2008
Everyone compares this game to CC3, to me they aren't in the same ballpark. Being a huge fan I was completely sucked into the story and really felt like a part of something. I had the feeling that if I lost the battles, Middle Earth would fall to the Dark Lord Sauron. In CC3, I never really got into the odd story. It does a much better job with the different units and other features. Although, I do believe that CC3 is way more polished, has better graphics, and is overall more refined than LOTR BFME 2. Overall, I fell that if you really want a techniqually sound game, then CC3 is probably for you. If you want to be drawn into a story and feel bound to the characters as if you were a part of them, then LOTR BFME 2, is probably for you.
Graphics 6.5 ( Middle of the road, nothing extraordinary)
Sound 7.0
Story 8.5 ( Good side plot to the movies).
Overall 8.5
 Sweet RTS for a console March 27, 2008
Console RTS's have been pretty bad as a general rule. This one really changed that with a sweet control scheme. If you like RTS games and The Lord of the Rings then pick this up. It may not be as revolutionary as the upcoming Endwar....but it's a good time.
 disapointing February 9, 2008
This is a great RTS... on the PC.
Unfortunately after playing 3 different Xbox360 copies on 2 different consoles, I have come to the conclusion that it will never work properly on Xbox 360. Please do yourself a favor and don't buy the game for 360.
The PC version is a well done, fast paced, entertaining game, it is just to o buggy to even play on a 360.
making someone happy January 18, 2008
I bought this item as a gift for my grandson. He once had this video but it burned out. He was very excited about getting this one. Sounds like he rated this 5 stars. Me too, because of his happiness.
My kids love it December 30, 2007
We bought this game for my boys - 5 and 10 - for Christmas. We already have the PC version, but that doesnt stop them from playing it constantly. It uses the soundtrack from the movie, which makes it decent listening to as their game system is in the same room where my PC is. Most games I have them turning off the sound very promptly.
My husband says the PC version has better control than the Xbox version, but the boys dont mind.
Worth the investment.
