LOTR for 360 is a good match up. Who would have thought that RTS are good on console.

Consoles and RTS never went together that well. The infamus starcraft 64 set SC fans running for the hills because it suxed. Other RTS that made it to console also were flops much like the DS rts that suxs the one with kings in its name. Anyways i like the LOTR Battle for middle earth 2 for the xbox 360. The controls are easy and rely of the RT for the palentier LT to selesct your troops on the screen LB to select all of that specific unit and the A button to tell them to move. The Graphics ( I am playing on a 72 DPL HD TV) Are not bad for an RTS. The caracter models wont blow you away but they dont look like crap either. The game suffers some frame rate issues I have only felt those on the first good level so far. The difficulty levels are not diverse and i have found that easy is much the same as hard, just how many times the enemy counter attacks your base other then that the game is the same. The story mode is good but for all the LOTR fans both campanes feel short good campain is 7 or 8 levels but the first 4 good levels can be blown through. The evil campain is 10 and is better but there story is not as good as the good guys. LOTRS RTS dont belive in resource whoring and that they can expire, I love that ust build a resource building and it lasts forever its great. Unlike most RTS towers are not uber strong, i feel the battle towers sux unless you upgrade them. How ever elven watch towers are a force to be recond with and can hold back the enemy for awhile but once there down good luck. Wall building in this game is good but if your care less you can leave gaps that enemys can sneek through. The sound track for this game is the LOTR music and you hear the good theam music when on the good side and bad theam music on the bad side. The voice acting is top notch and sounds very good for narating and units. Singel player replay value is lacking but online is the true after single player gem. This game all in all is a good RTS for the Xbox 360.
