"Battle for Middle Earth" Game
Recently purchased this game and it's actually pretty damn good for a strategy game.
If you dont know what it is then ill do a bit of explaining.... Its like the game "Age of Empires" - everyone must of heard of that... a army controlling strategic game. You play one of several races; Gondor, Rohan, Isenguard, and Mordor. Screenshots Does anyone own the game, I'd love to play against someone.

I've got it, it took me about a week to complete and it is great!
only one critisim the best levels are helms deep and minas tirith and you can't play them in skirmish mode |

Well my PC cant really handle it, which is quite rediculous acually, because my computer isnt bad.
Ive just about nearly finished the good campaigns... My critisim is how stupid the computer is sometimes... but I guess thats why they invented online play.. We should organise a game sometime.

I will be getting it soon, but I just spent most of my money on the first two volumes of HoME.

I have desided it is neet and humungus! If you have a very big computer and like LotR and can understand the interface (No bottom bar guys!) I'd recamend it. I have a tiny computer (3 Gigabates todle!) so I can't play it Hope this helps!

You probably need to wait for a Pentium 7 to come out before it will load and run smoothly . Sometimes its really jumpy in-game too. You see that?

10 minutes sometimes! I envy you! A few nights ago it took 45 minutes for me to load one of the Rohan levels.

The storyline is acually really well structured, even though quite a few changes have been made ( this is needed though to make the game a little more lengthy.)
