Customer Reviews
The original was better in many ways
First off, the "strategic" level war of the ring is total crap. Very simplistic and not very playable. Again, there are two pre-scripted campaigns: good and evil. Those are o.k. but you don't have the option of picking your next battle by moving on a strategic map like in volume I. No real improvements in design or playability, just new races and units. I had expected more.
Not recommended.

Fun game
I was pleasantly surprised with this game, I think I paid 10 bucks for it and I've gotten a ton of play time out of it, it's really been fun especially for the price. It's a bit more simplistic than some RTS games I've played but still fun and I always enjoy "The War of the Ring" game type. Campaign isn't super long but the replay value comes in playing the skirmishes and other game modes. I wouldn't pay $50 for this but for less than $15 you can't go wrong here and I 100% recommend this title. Music is really good too. 5 stars for fun factor and 4 stars overall (for re-playability and complexity)

Be warned!! May not work by design.
Although the first game was pretty damn good, be careful buying this one. Apparently for some reason EA has intentionally made this game incompatible with some NVIDIA Geoforce graphics cards even if they meet the memory requirements. Not sure why they did this and don't care either. There was no information about this in the description on Amazon and nothing on the box that I received either. Double check the web to see if it will work with your card.

My Sons Enjoy this Game
I bought this game at the request of my 15 year old son with the "LOTR: Rise of the Witch King" expansion pack. He and both of his brothers are still playing it regularly and none of them has thrown anything at the computer screen, so I guess it is a pretty good game. :)
