It took what the first game was able to do and just vastly improve every aspect, apart from the missions. Actually being able to play as the factions of elves, dwarves, goblins etc was so refreshing.
The community surrounding this game is what really elevated it to a whole new tier. Mods added everything a LOTR fan could ever dream of to the game. Using characters and factions from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd ages that weren't in the original game was awesome.

Console RTS with a worker build system, This is how the 360 version of C&C3 should have worked. More gamepad friendly by at least a little bit, it's just a shame I'm not a LotR fan or really dig having a fantasy theme in an RTS. I want like, tanks and shit.
p.s. this is the game that had the 700 achievement score I think.

Este y el anterior son unos juegazos de estrategia.
En el 1 sigues la trama de las películas (de una forma con la trama alterada para que tenga sentido con el juego de estrategia, pudiendo salvar a un personaje o visitar a Ella-Laraña con tropas de Gondor) y además dispones de un modo de conquista mundial muy curioso. Su jugabilidad se centra en la toma de unas bases con plazas de construcción limitadas, teniendo que gestionar entre edificios que producen recursos y edificios que producen otros efectos más activos. Las tropas ganan experiencia y con ello se vuelven más fuertes y los héroes y magias mejoran cuanto más juegas y más enemigos derrotas.
El juego 2 parte de la premisa anterior, pero la campaña se centra en la guerra del Norte (enanos y elfos contra las fuerzas de Dol Guldur) y además de añadir más facciones y héroes, los edificios se construyen sin límite de territorio.
La variedad de personajes, la riqueza visual y mecánica, así como la progresión de tus fuerzas en cada campaña, hacen que para mí sea una experiencia ideal.
Es todo lo que pido en un juego de estrategia y además de El Señor de los Anillos.
Ojalá más.

This game embodies all the fantasies that you could have from watching the movies. Any type of unit is in the game, and they all have unique abilities and that is fucking awesome. One of my favourite things about the game was the ability to stomp people with the cavalry and the different dynamics between how you could counter these things. I loved that in this second entry they added more variety of buildings, the ability to place them wherever you want and things like having the ring and similar.
Campaigns are also pretty cool.
One of the best RTS games ever.

As a big fan of the movies and Age of Empires, I had to play this game. I enjoyed playing with both archers and riders. We have the opportunity to create our own customized hero as well as play with the existing ones (Legolas, Aragorn, Gandalf, Frodo, etc.). This game may not be a masterpiece, but it is a decent and enjoyable one.
We'd play this game a lot with my oldest cousin a decade ago, I remember getting quite tired of the game since we he'd have us play this most of the time lol.
Loved the game though, even though I wasn't really good at it because it is simply not only a good RTS game, but also a good adaption as well. If you love one or both of them, like my oldest cousin, this game is a must play.
Keep in mind that the game's servers have officially shutdown so you will have to download T3A:Online to play it without LAN

Unbalanced RTS, but one of the best usages of AAA copyrights ever. They squeezed everything they could from the movies, including voice acting for all the characters, and also pulled some nice "extras" from the books, and the execution was pretty great.
The campaign story is meh (BFME 1 was much better) but the multiplayer community thrived, there were cool mods... until EA shut everything down.
Also, War of the Ring mode was pretty cool.
