About this product

Product Information

This sequel to 2004's real-time strategy game from publisher Electronic Arts expands on the events depicted in New Line Cinema's film trilogy to incorporate scenes, characters, and battles found in J.R.R. Tolkien's epic fantasy saga. Fans will return to the besieged world of Middle-earth to actively participate in the War of the North, where dwarves and elves struggle to repel invasions in the Misty Mountains, Dol Guldur, Mirkwood, Rivendell, and other notable locales. Players will command one of six factions in a choice of game modes. Men, dwarves, and elves are pitted against goblins and the dark forces of both Isenguard and Mordor, with each faction offering its own technology, powers, buildings, and units to master. Battle of Middle-earth II includes good and evil single-player campaigns, a turn-based War of the Ring mode that involves conquering territory on a dynamic world map, and skirmish options for players to select maps, opponents, and starting conditions.<br><br>Though each mode offers something different, the core game follows established genre conventions in the building phase, where individual structures are purchased and erected anywhere on the land to generate various unit types. One distinguishing feature is that resource gathering is designed to be simple and self-sufficient, with the emphasis placed instead on battlefield tactics. Building the equivalent of a farm not only generates wealth, but it also increases the number of available command points to spend on units. The catch is that each farm has an efficiency percentage that diminishes the closer it is to another farm. On offense, players can order battalions and individual units to fight in specific stances or to march in different formations. Units will also level up, learn new skills, and become stronger over time. On defense, players can protect their base by freely building walls, guard towers, and gates. <br><br>Command points can also be spent on powerful heroes from the classic trilogy, such as Legolas, Gimli, and Boromir, or on custom warriors designed with the create-a-hero editor. Each hero can wield up to five character-specific powers to help him or her turn the tide in battle. In addition, all factions possess a series of racially derived powers to destroy, summon, or to provide bonuses. These abilities are purchased using power points, earned through combat by defeating enemies. Each faction's 12 powers are divided among three talent trees, with lower branches accessible only after acquiring top-tier powers. After players suffer defeat or emerge victorious, a detailed timeline will show statistics for units, structures, resources, and other pertinent information. For its Xbox 360 debut, the game includes new multiplayer options via Xbox Live, including hero versus hero, king of the hill, and capture and hold, as well as a streamlined control setup specifically designed for the console.

    Just allright

    We had this game on the computer version and my boys loved it (it became my favorite game) we lost the cover (and computer code) and could no longer play the computer version. My youngest son (13 yrs old) wanted this version so he could play on the XBOX. I tried playing it twice - the control is not there like it was on the computer - the veiws wander too much and I cannot highlight a group and direct them like the computer - I have not played it since.

  • Horrible game

    While I have an incredible love for LotR: BME 1, the second installment is just bad. The game lags and crashes so much that it is nearly unplayable at some times. Also, the gameplay is severely changed from the first game. Had I known this, I NEVER would've bought the second one. The games are only similar in that they are both about LotR, and they are both RTS style. After that, the games shift so much that it is just jarring to anyone expecting the first game. I really do NOT recommend this game in any way, unless you're after a copy for collecting purposes.

  • Fun and relaxing

    I ordered 2 discs and only received 1. They told me they would send the second but never did and I needed it for a gift! The game itself is good I had played it previously on pc which was better but still ok. It freezes if you try to use a lot of army units all at once though.

  • True to product description. Very happy with purchase.

    Extremely happy with what I got. It was scratched a little but it was accurate to the product quality label (it was set as “good” quality). Light scratches but not so bad that it wouldn’t run. Was happy to play it again considering the only way to play it now is on a previous-gen console or by downloading a legally-questionable version from the internet.

  • Great

    Game shipped in great time, I love this game, it's a strategy game with a lot to access in the gameplay. The bases you can put anywhere and the armies are big. Heroes can be unlocked and the story mode for good and evil are challenging and fun.
