As a mostly console player, I have been waiting for a quality RTS for consoles. I have played quite a few on PC in the past (Warcraft II, Civilizations games, Rise of Nations, etc.) ann have always considered it one of my favorite genres.
So I was very excited about LOTR:BFME2 for 360. Now after having giving it a whirl, I can say it works extremely well on the console. Of course PC controsl are better for this type of game, but it works suprsingly well.
The gameplay itself is standard RTS - build your up resources and army, attack and defend, but it is done very well. I would compare it to War Craft, but in the LORT world.
So if youare an RTS fan and haven't tried this game on PC, I would highly recommend checking it out for the 360. A very solid game.
