All I can think about when reading this stuff is playing LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth 2 on Xbox back in the day[0]! Still my favorite RTS game, though I haven’t played in years.

Sure enough, Helms Deep was one of my favorite battlefields. It was fun to give myself the defensive advantage, but also fun to give it to my (computer) opponent for a healthy challenge. I’ll never forget the value of Elvish archers on the walls.

I would recommend the 1 actually. It lets you play most of the famous scenes from the movie (and I prefered it from a gameplay point of view).


I wholeheartedly agree! The first one is much better campaign wise. Plus, it's the same engine as c&c generals/zero hour.

Unfortunately EA lost the rights some time ago so you can't even buy the game on Origin anymore.
