Talking deos battle for middle earth look Good?Bad?

deos battle for middle earth look Good?Bad?
for myself i think,because of the music,about 8.5/10.0
Does anybody else have any comments?
Seems this is a first person shooter area.
All they talk about is farcry and HL2 and doom 3.
(i don't have anything against anybody though i'm just
saying that, sometimes a change is good.)

From the screens it looks like it might be a good one. I'll have to do some reading and see what more I can find out about it.

well, if you look at the games in the news, FPSs are what drives graphics and look the best i think FPS games have the highest immersion factor. that's not saying i don't like a good game of warcraft 3 every so often but i find multiplayer in FPS games to wear out a lot slower.

Ok, If you want some nice screenshots go to,
and/or vedios of the gameplay(in ROTK the game they
made the mistake of useing actual footage from the movie,so there is
a jump in quality)

Wow that looks crazy. What is that? RPG? MMORPG?

No,it is a RTS with light RPG effects on some of the characters.
(nazgul shreik,gandalfs fire blast ect.)
The cretures and people can go up levels and stuff. Alot to do
with vetreanecy.
For instance if you have a troll cave and you build 50 trolls,
you can unlock upgrades for the trolls and troll cave(drummer trolls
,uber troll cave that can protect itself...)
The same thing will go for battles, if a group of gondorian soilders kills 40 orcs
than they will be able to become more powerful.(or have avalible upgrades
with more more health and stuff.)

Here is a screenshot of the game. It should explain a lot.(a picture is worth
a thousand words...)http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/...s.html?page=82
