This game is one of the best strategy games I have ever played! I am a huge fan of The Lord of the Rings, so I went out and bought this game straight away, and it was well worth the money! It is very faithful to the films, allowing you to play as the fellowship in the mines of Moria, Rohan at Helms Deep and Gondor at Minas Tirith. It also lets you play as the forces of Isengard and Mordor. The graphics are very good and detailed, especially on big battles like Minas Tirith. In the campaign, you play as either the forces of good or evil and play throught he events of the film. The campaign allows you to rewrite the history of Middle-Earth, which is a good feature of the game. It is easy to pick up and play, and beginners will have no problems with the game. This game is brilliant, and if you are a fan of LotR, or even if you aren't, you should definately buy this game!
