The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II

If you are doubting wether or not EA could pull off an RTS on 360, believe me, they can.

Gameplay: The controls work surprisingly well on the 360. Every command is easy to issue, and it is easy to build buildings as well. The only difficult thing is creating hot keys (shortcuts for your units), which take to long to assign to truly be shortcuts.

Graphics: The overall level of detail is amazing. Water effects in particular are amazing. However, when zoomed in, the graphics are sort of ugly. I also noticed some slowdown, espescially at the begining of levels.

Sound: It's LOTR. What's not to love?

Value: If you have always wanted to play an RTS on a console, then this is definitely worth $60. If you are a PC man, skip it.

Tilt: See sound.
