Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth:

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. From waging all-out combat among the vast forces of good and evil to controlling your favorite heroes and characters to managing the troops and resources of your side, the fate of a living, breathing Middle-earth is in your hands.

Whether choosing to command the forces of good or evil, PC gamers are in complete control of the epic campaigns depicted in all three films of the trilogy. More than faceless units, every character in the game expresses real-time emotions that change depending on their situation—watch your swordsmen tremble with fear as they nerve themselves to face advancing Trolls and feel their exultation as they celebrate a hard-fought victory.

Building on a highly advanced version of the acclaimed Sage 3D game engine first used in Command & Conquer™ Generals, The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth allows you to command the forces of light or darkness in two separate campaigns. You’ll have to choose your forces wisely, since each army has its own unique strengths and weaknesses. The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth offers a truly memorable entertainment experience: the first RTS game that brings an entire world to life.

Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth II:

In The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II, the sequel to the critically acclaimed RTS game The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth you now have the chance to experience all that Middle-earth was meant to be.

With all new content from J.R.R. Tolkien's original fiction, delve deeper than ever before and engage in new battles that go beyond the award-winning movie trilogy. 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 - summon dragons, cause volcanoes to erupt, or bring down a cataclysmic lightning strike.

But beware, with greater power comes greater adversity. Your enemies, commanded by a powerful new AI system, possess a greater tactical edge and more powerful spells. Will your armies have the fortitude to persevere?
