    Battle for Middle Earth 2

    If anyone played the first BFME (or got a slight interrest in LOTR) they would probably be happy with this link.

    Battle for Middle Earth, Videos

    There should be quite a few pictures of the new game and also some nice videos (with commentary).

    Enjoy!

    First one sucked gameplay wise. A highly polished turd, but a turd all the same.

    No! It was great!

    It's good to hear that they have rights to the book this time. As a LOTR nut i'll be looking forward to this one.

    I thought the first BFME game was very tame. Highly polished but the gameplay concepts were extremely poorly thought-out and everything seemed very scripted.

    Playing the good campaign, once you had a full allowance of upgraded elf archers you were really were unstoppable. You could roll through levels without even building a base.

    The same goes for the powers. I could complete whole levels without building any troops and just using the powers.

    The balance was very poor.

    I wonder if the 2nd one will support resolutions higher than 1024x768 from the UI?

    I think I'll stick with my crazy Russians, Iron Curtains and Chronospheres.
