The game that I have chosen to write about this week is the sequel to the popular video game based off of the fantasy book and movie series, The Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II is a large scale real-time strategy game filled with creatures and characters from the popular series.
The campaign mode of the game allows you to rewrite the history of the War of the Ring as either the forces of good or the forces of evil. The game does this by combining an overarching turn-based campaign that's stitched together with real-time strategy missions, allowing you to decide where to take the fight to next. This way, you can control the armies of good or evil as you march across the world of Middle-earth, conquering province after province along the way.
The gameplay of the game revolves around skirmishes, or individual battles. Matches can have a number of opponents ranging from two to four. The choices of who to play with are between numerous different factions, the Dwarves, Elves, Humans, Orcs, Uruk-Hai, or Goblins. Each faction has the basic range and melee platoons of troops but after that every faction differs in the kinds of troops one can deploy. Some can deploy enormous troops like trolls and giants which are large and very powerful but only come in singles and therefor can be outnumbered. Other sets of troops contain more soldiers in a platoon than others but the soldiers are also weaker and therefore do not have any major advantage. The game also implements hero characters which are single units which are much more powerful than the average troop and have special powers such as super powerful attacks and leadership experience to boost the troops on the field.
Overall Battle for Middle-Earth II is a great real time strategy with a lot of different factors to make each battle unique and different without one force being overwhelmingly more powerful than another. I would highly recommend this game.
