Video Game Reviews of The Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth 2
Customer Review: good game but...
Summary: 4 Stars
bfme2 is a great game, however, some unrealistic parts of the game almost ruined it for me. such as : when have you ever seen 30 - 40 guys take down a castle made of stone in 30 seconds(with only swords and arrows) ? or 3 heroes take out an entire enemy base(again, with those weapons) ? so for some fun i got the S.E.E. mod. now you have to build siege if you don't want to lose your entire army. you can find it by searching for 'bfme2 special extended edition' on the internet. enjoy!Customer Review: Great game...one unfixed bug

This is a fun game but there is one problem that I still have not been able to solve. It played fine on Windows XP. I upgraded to Windows Vista and the game started to crashed sporadically. Some times I played for hours and at other times, for minutes. My computer specs more than meet the recommended hardware. For instance I have a Pentium D with a 3.2GHz chip, 3GB of RAM, nVidia GeForce 7900 GTX. All my drivers are updated. I have also re-installed the game, just in case. The only other advice EA gives is to run it in XP compatibility mode. I tried that and get an error message asking me to insert the correct disc. This, after I started the game by clicking on the game disk. I do not know if anyone else has had this situation but I still have no answer to my predicament. For the record, I am able to play all other games I have...from the very first C&C and Age of Empires to more recent ones like Supmreme Commander and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter.
That being said, the game itself is very enjoyable. The graphic-novel feel was blended really well with the story telling as we get access to the lesser known heros of the saga. It may have been milking the Lord of the Rings cow but overall, it is a nice experience.
Customer Review: Battle for Middle-Earth II
Summary: 4 Stars
It is a definite improvement on the Battle for Middle-Earth 1. However, the soloplay could have had a bit more variety. I am also disapointed that the campaign doesn't have include the Men of the West. But, the added races are a awesome improvement and made the game a lot more fun. The increase in units also added more stragigic play as well as the free-build ability especially in multiplayer. An overall great stategy game.Customer Review: Great game

I'm judging this on mostly what my 7 yo son and friends say. They love playing it for hours. Make sure your computer specs are adequate. It takes a lot of resources. Customer Review: Great game needs a little improvement

The skirmish mode is way better with new sites to battle in. You have new factions which are the goblins, dwarves and elves. The best part is the create a hero. Where you can create an awesome hero of good or evil. It records their stats and gives them awards. It has new heroes and new units like The mouth of sauron and the mountain giant. The only problem is that the campaign is horrible. You have the elves and dwarves and the goblins. They are both really boring.
