Review
Great Game, Much more difficult than the other Battle for Middle Earth Games. Still not much different then the others, the only draw back is that you can only be the Witch King for the Campain.

My son LOVES this game
I bought this game for my son, who read all the books and has seen the movies. He is 11 (yes he read the book series early). The graphics are incredible and he gets so immersed in the game. This particular game was an add on pack to one of the other middle earth games I believe. He loves all of the lord of the ring PC games I, II and this one. Most of the time I refuse to buy PC games because he has video games but this PC game is worth installing.

Fun game, but full of bugs and not supported by EA
Okay, let me start off by saying that this game can be fun...but, there are huge problems in it. There are so many bugs in the game. It constantly crashes on me if I play for a decent amount of time. Also, there are too many other bugs in the game to list. I've contacted EA and they just ignore me and everyone else who complains about it. There's not even any plan to release another patch for the game. If you like real time simulations (RTS), then get a game not made by EA because their customer support is a joke.

great expansion on a already great game
Battle for Middle Earth was really good, and now with this expanison gameplay has been improved and all races now get more units as well as a brand new race. The single player is really fun and you get to see the ruins of the Lord of the Rings movies in their prime. Lots of fun, any lord of the Rings fan would love it.

Read the book but don't expect all things to be perfect afterwards!
Though some tout about lack of book reference in games and moives, I see them as they are, Fun! Acording to the Fellowship book(not movie) though, the Witch Lord(or king here) was referred to as "the only other time Hobbits battled for humans and others ect. ect". The game is intriguing in that it references what is only briefly recapped on in the book, A witchlord and his rein of distruction before the "War of Middle Earth." This time you have an evil campain and you are the Witchlord(or King-or whatever) and in his hayday after the downfall of Lord Sauron and Isuldur's take down. These events take place in a more recent history(quite close to the Hobbit and tLotRs but beyond living memory) when the Shire is young and during the time Golumn(a character not referenced here) begins his transformation from Hu-hobbit to ghoul. Don't expect an epoch unabridged tale in the Battle for Middle Earth Games as a whole but do expect a lot of recaps on the history before the War as this is untold by Tolkien himself yet the permission for these games was granted to give them scope and content beyond LoR that is why the evil campains in BfME are so intriguing, they render an alternate ending. Unlike privious installmnets which were uninteresting and only adhering to the movies and nothing more than seeing the movie in "game" form. I will not review each individual game as this should suffice to represnt all, but I will say this is an interesting take on a history only breifly gone over in the books. I suggest "Overlord" for a truely evil campain or "Witcher" for an RP element-though what is "evil" anyway... Some of the comentary I've seen here(and on most cheezey DVD's I buy is just as evil!) I say drow and Haven both are Grey. HYPPIECRITS!
