Not a bad game by any means. If you are a big fan of the source material, especially the last BFME game, its worth the $30. As in the last game, the official license brought an exciting edge to an average RTS game. Even then, you may be able to pass. Unless you still play the game alot and would really appreciate the updates which resemble a big patch more than an expansion, you have to buy it based on the campaign, which is alright. The campaign chronicles the Witch Kings take over of the Northern Kingdom long before the events of the movie. The final mission tells the story of his retreat, to apparently Minas Morgul. It pretty cool...for a fan of the material. The cammand point limit has been raise to basically unlimited in this (100X) and the ultra graphics settings from the last game are in there. Add the movie sounds, which never get old imo, and you have a good game from graphics and sound standpoint.
This is a game for the fans of the last LOTR RTS game. I for one, hated the action games based on re-acting the movies, but the last RTS was good and so is this. If you are no fan of the LOTR, this is an obvious pass.
