Summary: LotR:T is a definite buy if you love strategy games, but not for those who need a story line.

A 3D tactics game, that can be also thought of as an RPG. You will be able to play as either the Legions of Mordor of of the Fellowship, which brings about the question, Are you Evil or Good?

The graphics of this game are pretty good, they are above those of UL:BotB. There is no infra-structure to the game which is a setback, but there is AD-HOC which will allow local players to issue commands to their troops simultaneously.

The campaign mode can get repetetive as with any stategy game, and gameplay can get slow and tiresome. So this game is not for those who do not have patience and/or love stategy games. I for one love strategy games, and therefore think this game is a must have.

Another drawback is one that will only be noticed by true LotR fans, that is the story of the game makes no sense. The movie scenes shown in between the missions jump back and forth between scenes that have nothing to do with the current mission. If you are not a fan of LotR, this will not upset you as much as others, but even a person who has never seen a LotR movie or read a book will be able to tell that there is a lack of a story line to this game.

In conclusion, this game is a fantastic strategy game. If you are in to strategy games then this is the game for you, and you should go buy it today. However if you are looking for a story line to help out the game, instead of just random battles against the enemy, then you might not enjoy this game too much.

Good review, but the way you talk about it, it doesn't seem like a 95.

I dont understand why it's considered an RPG. This game has nothing to RPG about. It's just a tactics game that follows a story. I have it and it's pretty tight, though I hate how it's considered slash RPG..
