LOTR: Battle for Middle-Earth 2

[Horrorfan]

Now I am not a fan of anything lord of the rings at all, usually. But I got hooked on RTS games on Alien vs Predator Extinction, before moving onto titles like shattered union and field commander, so I picked this up.

People who say licensed games suck need to play this. It's pretty addictive and simple to learn, and although Im not a fan of the license, I really dug it, even if the final level of the evil campaign was a little hard because of the lil bastards refusing to stop spawning.

Highly reccomended

A friend lent it to me before going into the army but I haven't actually played it yet.

I got the PC version. Where you can use a mouse like Eru intended.

What's an Eru? Is that like Erudite?

 

[lars573]

Eru is the god of LOTR universe, who created everything via singing or writing music that his angels (like Gandalf, Sauron, Saruman, Melkor/Morgoth) sang. Also called Ullvatar. There's an entire mythology behind LOTR. Most of it is in the Simarillion book.

This really should be in the multiplatfrom sections. Anyway this is a good standard RTS game.

What takes it above that is you can recruit, SAURON!!!! FTW.

See.
