" A lot better than the old one "
If you are Good you will have to destroy the ring or keep it away from saruman if you are Evil you will have too find the ring and give it to saruman the dark lord .
The battle form middle earth II is the best RTS game that I have ever played it have a lot of goods like graphics with shader system , terrain detail , water detail , shadows , model detail and animation detail , the sound are superb with the original movie music , the physic engine is amazing , the game play is superb with four modes .
The bad : no bad at all .
The new things : you can build wherever you like , new three armies (dwarves , elf's , goblins ) , new great mod ( war of the ring ) , new powerful powers and finally you can make your own hero.
My Last Word Is : My Best RTS Game Ever .
