Being an avid fan of both the Lord of the Rings movies and books, I nearly wet myself when I found out that a rts was being made based on the movie. I am happy to say that the does not dissapoint. The gameplay is pretty good, with a few flaws here and there. The A.I. isn't always to smart, but it can suprise you as well. The graphics are stunning, even when set to their lowest levels. I wasnt able to test out the higher levels becasue my computer would probably freeze up or explode if I tried. The sound and music can be described as nothing less than brilliant. Voice acting for characters are done by the actors rom the movies. The wonderfull, powerfull score from the movie is there as well, and adds great atmoshpere to the game. The only thing I didn't like about the game is that it just wasn't able to fully grasp the epicness of the movie. Besides that, this game is downright spectacular. Every LOTR fan owes it to themselves to buy this game, and RTS lovers do to.
