The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth (PC Games, 2004)

This is a fun game for the young and old a like! Spend hours fighting with gondor or rohan, or if you prefer the evil side fight with Mordor and Isengard.
Fight in all the famous battles,also play against the computer in skirmish mode where you can have tons of fun.When looking for a great PC game, look no further!
This is a great game A+

This game is really good but the only problem is the online playing. The downloader doesnt access the patches because EA is constanly expanding. However offline play is great anyway. This game is worth the money.

I love this game. It is a great rts game with lots of strategy with beutiful graphics. It is a fun and very worthwhile game. The second one is nothing compared to this game Do buy it. I think that the building plot was very good and made strategy and battling easier and more in-depth. I liked how you can have a castle, camp or outpst and have certain amonut of building space and you can build in other places. The only really frustrating part is the time it takes to get you ary to one place or to another to attack. I love the walls and gates fun to defend with gondor or rohan. Overall great game and very worthwhile.

You can tell I like this game right off the bat when I say that this is my second copy (for network play)! Battle for Middle Earth (BFME for short) is basically a Real-Time Strategy game themed for Lord of the Rings fans. Like most RTS games, it has "skirmish" mode (individual battles) and "campaign" mode (multiple battles following a storyline). In each battle, you build bases, train and upgrade troops, purchase Heroes who can use special powers and inspire troops close to them to improve their performance, and, of course, try to eliminate all enemies! Gameplay is most balanced between the various factions, and length can be tailored to suit by picking anywhere from 1 to 7 AI opponents. You can also play online with other humans, or over a network with AI and human players.
There are a few negatives, such as a rather unintelligent AI when set to easy (I guess that makes sense at that level), but these can easily be overlooked. Of note, BFME2 is also out, and offers a "looser" style of gameplay. There are more factions, and bases can be built anywhere, instead of set locations. But if you like to know what to expect in each battle, play the original!

Great game tough enough to keep you playing for hours. It allows you to build forces while in battle. You can zoom in to see battle up close. Has a chess feel to it.

I purchased this for a relative from ebay because it was a good way to get the item at a cheep price. After the first item sent was lost in the mail the seller sent another copy free of charge. The second item was comparable to the first and was in excellent condition.

lotr is an awesome title. this game is great for the price i got it for. any lotr fans should definitely give this a try. Especially if you also happen to be a starcraft or warcraft fan. this is the game for you. get it NOW!

A fun game. me and my brother like it more than the battle for middle earth 2. a good old fun game for your pc. i play a bit. my brother can't stop. a solid choice if you love lord of the rings

Very fun game, especially for tolkien fans. This game incorporates elements from age of empires, empire earth, etc. to ensure for a very fun RTS experience.

The service was very fast and the price was great. I would recommend this service! The product worked perfectly and it was everything I expected!

The best strategie game ever. All movie characters are there, all important moment (Minas tirith, helms deep) and the online play has a lot of strategie and 4 eam to chose (Mordor, Isengar, Gondor, Rohan)

I thinks that this is one of the most great games ever. I love this game!!!
It's graphics is great and i like the battles.

Received a used game, beat up, but complete box with all four functioning disks and the user's manural.
Unfortunately, the serial number was already registered by someone else.
We are not amused.

This games mimics the movie nicely. LOTR fanatacis will love this game. However this game lacks in gameplay. It offers only so much options in buildings and units. But it was a good try at a new concept. Some will appreciate it. Some will not.

This is a great game for people who are new to the RTS world of gaming and a must-have for LOTR fans. The "easy" mode (there are 3 levels of difficulty) of the game is slow-paced enough for even the complete newbie/casual gamer and stay that way. No need to keep clicking constantly just to stay alive :P

Other RTS games like Warcraft III are also great but can get difficult pretty quickly and require you to constantly click (training units, upgrading, building, etc).

However, hard-core gamers might find it "too easy" aka boring but who knows!

I bought my item on a Monday and received my item on a Thursday. Though the shipping cost was 3x what I paid for my item, the total cost was very reasonable!!

I've been a Tolkien fan since I was quite young, so was thrilled with the movies. This game has a lot of the movie graphics in it. For a hard-core computer gamer, this game may rank as awesome. But if you are like me, and play as a diversion, distraction, or for relaxation- I'm not so sure that you'll like it. While I was playing, I'd set it for easy, but it would reset for med-difficult. The one that I got had no instructions with it,and was nerve racking to try to scroll, plan work-able strategies for war & defense and impossible to get the system to do as it should have to carry out your plans.
But, I'm not a hard-core gamer, either. I'm a self taught user, and human logic and computer logic don't always mesh.After winning the fourth campaign for good, the computer decided I was far better at it than I thought I was, and threw the difficult settings at me with out my consent. After 3 days of frustration and getting nowhere with it, I decided to cut my losses, and uninstalled it. This is great for some people, but I'm not one of them.
I think I'll stick to Wik, & Fate, & Lilo & Stitch with the grandchild, and leave this one to a dedicated gamer,LOL!

I originally bought this CD back when the movie came out, I just LOVE soundtracks!! So when my original CD got broken less than six months ago, I just had to buy another CD. The only problem was that the since the CD came out so long ago, I needed to find another way to get one than through the store.
I just love the fact that I was able to replace my old one, and this time I will make a spare copy and put the original someplace safe.
If you Loved the movie True Lies you will just love this CD! It has both rock and instramental songs on it!

Th game was good once i got the code for it,Howver it did not hve the case or the cover with it as well as the book that come with most of them

The transaction was OK averall, I disliked the delay of receiving, more than 3 weeks after the seller received the money.
I bought the item for my 9 years of age son, so I'm not able to provide you too much information.

Fast shipping , got just what i wanted thanks. the game and all the disks work great , i cant belive how fast i recived my product thats again
