Fast-paced real-time strategy with authentic Tolkien flavor..

The Battle for Middle-earth II improves on 2004’s game with a better strategic mode and a much broader scope that encompasses the whole of Middle-earth.

I recently went to best buy to get this game and i have to say it is amazing! It has several factions such as elves dwarves and goblins. The sauron option is awesome and is like the sauron in felowship of the ring wreaking havoc. It is a must buy game and I encourage you all to buy it. I recently bought EAW also and this is much better than it. It was slightly harder but increadably easy to learn! I havent yet beat it for it only came out today but it is really immersive and gets you in the game quickly.

“Overall, Battle for Middle-earth II is a competent and enjoyable RTS game.” -GameSpy
