Made and released by EA Games in February, 2006, Lord of the Rings: Battle For Middle-Earth II is the perfect game for those in love with the books or the films based on Tolkien’s literary work.
I’ve always loved the Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth II real time strategy game. It’s fun, great looking, challenging, and at times epic.
The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth 2 is my favorite RTS. This game is just so much fun, from the 6 different classes to play elves, dwarves. Experience Middle-earth like never before in The Lord of the Rings™ The Battle for Middle-earth™, the first The Lord of the Rings game that puts you in command of a real-time, open world. Control the legendary heroes, massive armies, and epic campaigns of Middle-earth based upon all three films of The Lord of the Rings™ trilogy.
I’ve been playing it for years and years, all the way back to my old XP machine circa 2006. 10+ years is a pretty good run for a game. And it still looks and plays great.
