Advantages: Only one of it's type at moment on Xbox 360 Disadvantages: frame rate ingame a bit dodgy

The Battle for Middle Earth 2 was one of my most eagerly awaited purchases to buy for the 360 , In the era of the RTS - real time strategy , EA created the game based on the Epic Lords of the Rings Trilogy. The game is not based on the books I have read or the Movie's I have seen. The game is based on good and evil each is given a long introduction that goes from movie into gameplay smoothly and effectively. What I noticed upon first playing was the staggering differences between the PC version and 360. The control system is hard to learn at first took me a good while to start learning the game play controls. EA should have looked at the control method better somehow the RTS games always play better with a mouse to control with. The game being a RTS centres on Resource management , building your armies etc. There is a basic tutorial to get u started and a more advanced to learn the strategies behind the game. Like the PC version you still battle on land and sea.
The graphics are lower than the pc version it's okay to play but could have been improved for the 360 so much more. The AI adapts rapidly to what you throw at it , at lower levels its a challenge , on the hardest difficulty which I have just started you take a real battering. The music within the game is excellent with good sound effects inside the gameplay engine. The Multiplayer is included but something I am yet to experience on the xbox live.
This game for me is one I will keep playing until the 360 has a newer better RTS game it's one for purchase if your into the Command and Conquer series etc. Summary: Not one to miss as a first 360 RTS title

...allows you to be both the good and the evil forces from tolkien's world, and it takes part at other battles not in the original book.
There are 6 armies for you to control, Dwarves, Men of the West and Elves on the good side and Goblins, Mordor and Isengard for the evil side. Each army contains a variety of units including Riders of Rohan, Elven Archer, Mountain Trolls, Dwarven Seige weapons and many of the heros featured in the movie including ... ...good and evil campaigns and the usual single battles against the computer. there are several skirmish options including hero battles, normal battle, quests for money to name some.
The X-box live part of the game allows you to play there games against anyone across the world adding extra playtime once the single player is finished.
The high definition graphics are great if you do not view in HD though they may be a little blotchy and hard to see ...

...Now you can Lord of the rings battle for middle earth is one of the best rts games ive played. With 16 campaign missions from good to evil. A skirmish mode.
