What appears from its deep dark pocketses are spiders and goblins riding giant scorpions, orc chiefs leading hordes of their lurching brethren, tentacle monsters summoned from below, blazing balrogs, shiny heroes clad in mithril and light, and even some plump little Hobbits.
After seeing how weakly Empire At War delivered its now-familiar subject matter, it's gratifying to see an RTS that openly revels in itself.īattle For Middle Earth 2 takes the Tolkien universe and shakes it roughly by the trousers, just to see what shiny things fall out which might be of use. It's a nice big cave troll of an RTS: never too fast or clever, but awesome when beating drums or upgraded with armour. While never genuinely challenging or surprising, BFME2 does deal its blows with feeling. As the game of the film it has considerable inherited potential to work with, and while it might only have waded through the shallow edge of the genepool in its first iteration, it is now completely submerged - and growing stronger like an orc gestating in verdant sludge.
The players take a roll playing as one of these heroic characters and the computer or the video games allows them to make decisions regarding the strategies and the action during the battle.This latest real-time enactment of the Middle Earth conflict is a healthy improvement on its predecessor. Other non-player characters include a King Heidrek, a merchant, Deidar and a Thoren, a Wise Man.Īlthough there are other races to join the battle against the Dark Lord Sauron like the Hobbits, the elves and the wizards, the main playable characters are the three noble families of Middle Earth i.e. The player can choose to follow the Deionar, an elvish scout, Orcs, Dwarves, Men and maidens as he tries to defeat the enemy forces and reach the alliance of the Westland forces with the help of their new king, Baelgolt. The player takes control of a king or queen who is leading his/her people through a field toward a quest against the Dark Lord Sauron. The action takes place mostly in the Shire, a magical Middle Earth, located somewhere between the events of The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers.
In this battle, the player controls most aspects of the game through the keyboard or a mouse and a few special effects by using the Xbox Live Arcade controller. The game is developed around these themes and has many elements similar to the LOTR films. It is largely based on the first three books of the Lord of the Ring and its three live-action films adaptation. It is set in Middle Earth, a fictional place based in Middle Earth LotR, the Ring of the Three Rings. The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth II is a 2021 real time strategy role-playing video game released and developed by Electronic Arts.
