From the start this game captivates you with all of its beautiful graphics among other things. The true depth they gave to the soldiers is spectacular even though you need an amazing machine to play on that level. They did great things with this new game such as making the sieges from the movies standard maps so that normal people didnt have to take the time to make them. Granted the game does have some drawbacks, such as in skirmish mode the computer opponents seem to only want to go after your buildings and pass up any kind of field battle with you. This would be an easy problem solved with multiplayer but that leads to the second problem of that the multiplayer is to buggy for many to use, as soon as you log on you get an error message saying that the game needs to close. As soon as that issue is corrected the game wont really have many problems at all to speak of. This is a game i definately reccomend getting for all you LOTR fans out there.
