Got mine aswell. Played a bit of it, and it's way better than the first one!!
First thing I did was to investigate the Build A Hero feature, got some amazing people going on there.
I didn't have long to try it though, only about 45 mins. But the parts I've seen allow for a much more free way of gaming, seeing as though any structures can be built anywhere.
Only thing is, I'm working all day tomorrow, so that's another day I'll have to wait in order to play it :'(

Played it? Yes
Opinions on it? ooooh, shiny

Some really great parts to it, although twould be good with a larger number of levels. It does have a feature where you can take over the entire middle earth map though either with the good or evil forces which is good though. You can either do it where the game decides who wins based on each of your armies, or you can do all the battles yourself, which is a really decent idea.

Just ordered it for one of my sons.
It's now Ł18 online, Ł20 for the special - so I paid the Ł2 extra lol
Dunno whether I'll play it - I didn't get very far on the first, but I'm sure he'll use it well.

After having played on it and having completed single player mode, the only flaws that I could find in gameplay was the lack of levels in the single player missions as I think that there are only 8 levels for the Good side and for the Evil side and the capped limit for creating your army. I know that it effectively means that there are 16 levels but with the first game you could take over the whole map of Middle Earth. This however can be done in the brilliant new feature with the War Of The Ring mode where you can take over the whole map in real-time or auto-resolve battles with the race of your choice, good or evil, and then you can fight your way across Middle Earth as with the first game, plus with extra territories to the North, to the east, and to the west. It's effectively a huge combination of many skirmish modes. To help with this you have certain powers, which the superb AI of the enemy puts to use aswell, meaning that a dragon can be summoned straight into the middle of your base, destroying buildings and killing troups. The other slight problem is the limit to the number of troops that you can have, meaning that you still can't have the huge numbers of forces as in the books and movies, which I found to be more of an annoyance than an actual problem.
So if I was giving it a rating, I'd probably give it 8 or 9 out of 10.

Ok i have been playing my copy a while now and I just cant get into it as easily at the first,
the things that bug is the Levelling system is way too easy and only goes up to level 5 for Battalions, I liked forming a huge army of elves or Rohirrim and ranking them all up to level 10
Secondly its way too easy, I can beat a map full of 5 hard opponents when 1 or 2 was difficult on the first
and lastly the maps are way too small, I want something to explore, need more space


I hate to ruin the magic
I hate to kill the dream
but once you've been behind the scenes then you'll know just what I mean
you might think that its cool to get up on stage
and play rock and roll from your heart and soul
but no one shows up and your songs all suck
and theres no applause and no flying bras
no girls will scream for you and no ones gonna sing along with you

ive been playing it too.... its good!  I like the new heroes.... and the ability to build everywhere.  Annoys me that if a wall is destroyed its hard to repair it.

There are definately not enough levels.. and in single player mode, I cant use my own heroes for some reason...

does anyone know where you can ???

I think the only way you can use your own created heroes is in either the skirmish mode or war of the ring mode.

Ok i have played it quite a lot more now and my created character Elrohir has the Orcbane, Goblinbane, Urukbane, dawrfbane, pirate, Mosterslayer, daemonslayer, dragonslayer, guardian of middle earth, executioner and vanquisher awards (a couple of others too but i cant rememeber which ones) but I'm still not finding it as addictive as the first one, the fact you can build anywhere is great though, and can really set it up for some great tactical situations

What's everyone's favourite race?

Mine's the elves. They're pretty invincible when you can get enough archers with the arrow upgrade. Brilliant for defence, aswell as attack. Although it would be better you can actually build the ramparts of a castle which they can be placed on. Otherwise they need to be outside of the walls in order to attack anything.
