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.
GOAT

A really good strategy game, good LoTR game!
Decent sequel.

A masterpiece of RTS's on all fronts. Truly one of the greatest games ever made. Still so unbelievably fun to play and has incredible world building.

Not an RTS fan by any means but this game was so much fun.

one of the best RTS games ever made no cap


Zawsze puszczam kolędy jak w to gram

I hadn't played the first one as a kid when I found this at my library, but wow was it incredible as a huge LOTR fan. I must have made a hero for every single faction and played every single one. So much fun with this one.

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.

Un excelente RTS, divertido y adictivo.

So fun to play with friends, I don't have any idea about the campaign tho.

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.

One of my favourite rts games

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.
