Title: LOTR 2 : Battle for Middle Earth (360) Post by: zero on July 05, 2006, 05:27:15 PM Well, i went today and reserved my copy. Im pretty excited about the game myself. Im hoping it works out well for the 360 as RTS's never do well on consoles due to the controlls. Anyone else picking this up?

Then it needs to get Flashback and the AVP game and I can put my jaguar back in storage.

Title: Re: LOTR 2 : Battle for Middle Earth (360) Post by: zero on July 06, 2006, 08:00:39 PM Well today i went and picked my copy up from EB. Have to say that this is one of the best 360 games I've played. Controlls were, believe it or not, right. Usually RTS's don't work well on consoles for this reason. But glad to say that EA has done something right for once.
Graphics are another plus. On my PC i couldn't turn every detail up do to system specs, but now i can fully enjoy the game in HD and the impressive visuals. I would recommend renting it at least, will be worth it. Title: Re: LOTR 2 : Battle for Middle Earth (360) Post by: Krakrok on July 07, 2006, 05:49:11 PM It's alright on the PC. Beat the good campaign. Played online. Got rushed and raped repeatedly. Reminds me of Warlords: Battlecry in the number of sides and units. Title: Re: LOTR 2 : Battle for Middle Earth (360) Post by: Driakos on July 10, 2006, 06:14:51 PM It definitely looks good. I got it playing at 720p on an HD screen. Making bookmarks (groups), and selecting powers is kind of clunky. I would have rather a radial menu, than, left-left-left-A
I've only played the opening map so far (evil). It is nice to play an RTS on a console, and not have it look bloated and chunky (especially the menus). Giants lobbing rocks is not an option anymore. I lost more troops from my own giants, than the Elves. They get changed to melee stance as soon as I activate them. |
