This is a great RTS (Real-Time Strategy) game for those who typically don't love the genre and for fans of The Lord of the Rings films. Faithfully recreated scenarios and battles fill this game and give it a familiarity that makes it easier. That is one of the reasons I really like this game - it is easier. Most RTS's seem too stressful. Managing all the units at once and keeping track of things that are going on across a large map can get to be too much. Battle for Middle-earth does many things to improve and simplify game play that put this game a notch above most other games of this type with the exception perhaps of the mature Warcraft series. (still a more difficult game, however).
The detail and beauty put into this game are tremendous and in certain situations (and at certain levels) battles can seem just as hopeless and overwhelming for you as they did for the heroes of the books/films. And I haven't even mentioned that you can choose to control the dark forces as well.
