I had a blast playing this with one of my friends as we had a game that lasted for ages as we both were trying to take control of the land. The game still has the RTS battles, but there is more going on now. This is like the board game Risk where you have a large map and you are trying to conquer it. There is another really cool game mode that is called The War of the Ring. As a big fan of The Lord of the Rings, I found both campaigns to be very enjoyable, but I did prefer the good one, but only just. Each campaign will get you heavily invested in what is going on thanks to its great storytelling. You can play the good campaign which centers around an attack on an elf sanctuary and a bad campaign where you are helping Sauron destroy the forces of good. Good or Evil?Д«attle For Middle Earth 2 features two blockbuster single-player campaigns for you to sink your teeth into. The aesthetic options are sadly greatly lacking in this mode. While you can level up your character and improve them and make them a formidable warrior. The only disappointment I have is the create a character option. The production values of this game are sky high and it makes you feel like you are in these heated battles.

From the characters, the locations, and especially the soundtrack everything has an authentic Tolkien vibe to it that I really do appreciate. The presentation has that EA polish that you would expect.
