The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II

"The Lord of the Rings," a game written half a century ago, still rattles around in the literary world, in film, and, of course, in games. The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II continues the triumphant parade of humans, elves, dwarves and orcs in the strategy genre. The first part of the game was an instant hit, but the sequel raises the quality bar a few more points.
