lotr battle 4 mid earth

The first feature that caught my eye in lord of the rings battle for middle earth was the playable factions in the game(elves,men,dwarfs, orcs,goblins,etc.),the second was that unlike age of empires games when you create soldiers they spawn in battallion form ,instead of one soldier taking a million hits they die more like they do in the movie,And for me that was just gravy. Now to cut to the chase,this game is a good RTS and if you are a hardcore lotr fan/nerd you will enjoy this greatly I say this because the creators obviously put a lot of thought into the characters,the selection of heros is incredebly vast, and you can fight along with all types of vicious beasts like the wolves of isengard and Gandalf(lol). Although the gameplay is good ther are some cons in the game,such as;the army size,when you have five thousand gold from trampoling multiple enemys and you have one hundred farms you'll want to spend it on material posessions like extra orcs,but you'll be extremely disipointed when that cursed "NOT ENOUGH COMMAND POINTS" sigh appears. PROS.Good character selection .Selection between good/evil CONS.As mentioned I give this display of "battalions instead of nearly invinco-soldiers" a 4.75 Sincerely JR
