So, what do you think of this game- It looks incredible as far as I can tell, and I can't wait to play it.

So, any feedback, anyone have the game and if so, what do you think of it? Is it worth buying?  :)



I'm still alive guys.....a bit like GlaDOs only, you know, ACTUALLY alive. :p

Is it like Age of Empires?  I'm not sure, I've never really looked but someone told me it was an Age of Empires style game... :-\

The cover looks good, and so did the back...but never had time to read it, or take in what it was actually about :-[

This is the Final Fantasy style RPG game of the LOTR.....the Real Time Strategy game is on the PC, and is called "Battle for Middle Earth" I think.

This game was released for PS2 a few days ago, so I don't expect many to have it yet.

My kids have it and the graphics are quite impressive and they've really enjoyed it, but I have a couple issues with it...first of all, it has turn-based combat and I've never cared for that, it just disrupts the flow of the game too much for me and, secondly, all the charaters are made up, it's just bizarre to have this "alternate Fellowship" running around ME at the same time as the other Fellowship is. :-\

Yeah...the "replica" characters are kinda annoying...

Isn't it made by EA Games?

they made TTT and rotk but it was a small company called black label games that made fellowship of the ring which was very diff in terms of play but was really cool in the shire at the beginning.

So why the "replica" characters then?

Did they willingly chose to make them or did they not have the rights or something?

Kinda confuses me  ::)

They aren't replicas, the Fellowship drop in and out and you fight at Helms Deep, (Warning: Don't go too far into that bit if you've got a hectic schedule) but the Elf I'd imagine is Elrond.
Mellons are nice, we need mellons.

Ive got it, but havent played it yet.

Im kinda hoping that the Battle for Middle Earth will also be released on XBox..

they had to make up the characters, partly because they dont follow the route of Lord of the Rings. and I beleive there was some issue over copyright and ownership of those characters in this context :-\

I had a feeling copyright had something to do with it  ::)

So is it actually decent then or what?

The Lord of The Rings:  The Battle For Middle-Earth is by far the best LOTR-based game to be released on any platform.  It may be awhile before this game comes out on Xbox, though, EG.
