An 81 average that undersells it — ask the 261 people who rated it. A strategy game for the planners — fantasy, warfare as the backdrop, outthinking as the game. The story is the main course; the multiplayer is the reason it's still installed years later.

About this game

Wage war in the North and assume command of the most storied civilizations in all of Middle-earth history - the Elven and Dwarven armies - or fight on the side of Evil with heroes and creatures that have never been seen in The Lord of the Rings films. Defend or overtake never before seen lands such as Dol Guldur, The Misty Mountains, and Mirkwood as you unleash powerful new weapons and abilities, such as summoning dragons.
