Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings movies are remembered best by many people for their medieval battles between armies. Hell, the last Hobbit focused particularly on that. Here we have a PC game based on these movies that focuses on those battles by utilizing the real-time strategy genre. And it does a good job of it, too. It’s a fun war game that remains true to the spirit of the story, and adds a nice choice you may have not been expecting.That choice is between two different main games: the Good Campaign and Evil Campaign. The Good Campaign is what you’d expect: an adaptation of the movies. we go from the mines of Moria to the final battle in which the armies of Gondor and Rohan battle the forces of the dark lord Sauron until the Ring is destroyed, as per the movie. Mostly it stays true to the source material, the admittedly big exceptions being defending Galadriel’s country from an attack early on and the fact that you have a chance to save Boromir from being killed in Amon Hen and keep him around for the rest of the game.The Evil Campaign focuses on the uruk-hai (and warg-riders) of Isengard and orcs (plus trolls and evil men) of Mordor. Similar to the Good Campaign, save that the bad guys win. You defeat main characters numerous times but they always seem to survive and escape to fight again. Not really hard to believe, seeing as how real battles in war have far more survivors than most would assume. The missions are mostly the as in the Good Campaign. One notable break from this is that because the heroes are defeated in Amon Hen and thus can’t break Saruman’s control of Theoden, a mission has you storming the Rohan capital.Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and Saruman (Christopher Lee) are narrators for their respective Campaigns. McKellen is in full-on “do I really gotta voice a video game” mode, but Lee is as great as ever. This makes the Evil Campaign probably a little better. Thankfully most of the voice cast is more akin to Lee than McKellen, at least, as far as this game goes.There are four countries you can choose: Gondor, Rohan, Isengard, and Mordor. They have different attributes. The two good countries are centered around healing and main characters who are built like tanks, while the evil countries are built around wiping out the opposition with superior numbers (just like the movies).Each opposing unit you kill counts towards what are known as Powers. Powers give you an edge when activated, then becoming nonfunctional for a while. Gondor and Rohan have mostly healing and unit summoning Powers. Isengard and Mordor favor Powers that make them easy money, strengthen units, and reveal unexplored areas of the map.Truth be known, even this may be a little harsh because of the simple fact that The Battle of Middle-Earth 2 is a great improvement. Sadly, these games sell for generally outrageous prices on Amazon and Ebay. I don’t know why. Is it because of the surprising direction they take LOTR? If you can get a decent deal, go for it!No, this isn’t a tie-in with the recently concluded film trilogy. In fact, its release dates back eleven years. It’s a PS2/Gamecube/Xbox game that adapts The Hobbit long before Peter Jackson was ready to try it. With The Lord of The Rings getting its theatrical adaptations, Inevitable Entertainment decided it would use Frodo’s uncle.Pretty true to the book, other than the introductory stage that has Bilbo collecting supplies in Hobitton that his group will need on their adventure. Beyond that, the story is both accurate and good. My favorite part is the one with the trolls. This stealth challenge is quite scary. They sniff about (for effect) if they almost discover you. And if are found, there’s a cutscene of the troll who spotted you picking up Bilbo and saying something like, “You’re goin’ on the spit!”This game is a platformer with some stealth and first-person shooter elements thrown in. I think it may have been better if the game had been mainly stealth, as that was Bilbo’s thing throughout the book. I admit, that’s not very heroic, but when you think about it, Bilbo himself wasn’t nearly as heroic as Frodo. He relied on a ring of invisibility that he stumbled upon by dumb luck to accomplish his tasks. How much more would you have the guts to do if you could turn invisible? Exactly.Tangent over. Bilbo handles reasonably well. There’s a lot of jumping here, both to get to higher levels, and across gaps in the ground. Bilbo fights with a walking stick and upon getting it, a dagger (a sword to a furry-footed midget). From time to time you have to use stealth, such as the troll scene I mentioned earlier. This is a little too simple because it’s about holding down a button, as opposed to knowing to just lightl
