I like the Battlefront formula, so using it for Lord of the Rings was something I appreciated. An enjoyable game despite its various problems.

It's not a bad game, but damn does the budget show.

Hollow sound design, somewhat confusing combat, imbalanced classes, uninspired missions... Battlefront 2 (2005) this is not. The melee-focus hurts the game quite a bit, and even heroes seem underwhelming.

For my LOTR game fix, I'll stick with Two Towrs, RotK, Third Age, and LOTRO.
