Due to some recommendations from friends, I have long dared once again, a game to buy, without having previously played a demo. After a little nerve-racking installation (my drive takes about 5 minutes, until the DVD is read) I came in the game menu, which could hardly be better, and immediately began to play the campaign, which is very well suited to the game getting to know. I was captivated from the very first minute. Why I give full marks and what quirks the game, will be briefly explained: PRO: + Absolute Lord of the Rings-feeling thanks to all licenses, voice acting and original film clips + The 4 main "peoples" of the saga are playable (Rohan, Gondor, Isengard, Mordor) + Belonging to the peoples heroes are the characters from the film detaillgetreu modeled (eg. Legolas, Theoden, Gandalf, Saruman, ...) + Beautiful graphics with lovingly designed soldiers and houses and varied cards very well even without the high-end PC is running (Athlon 2600+, 512MB DDR, Radeon 9600pro) + The complete trilogy can be in single player replay + Action-packed multiplayer mode with extremely high addiction factor and ease of use (games can be in seconds host itself and I have no problems with my router Telekom Eumex704PC) + Many hours of gameplay guarantees, thanks to many tactics possibilities CONTRA: - Some DVD drives need a few minutes to read the DVD (eg LG GDR8161B.) Conclusion: Each computer player who likes Lord of the Rings, in this real-time strategy in Warcraft III / Age of Empires II style can access freely and will fully get their money! 5 points
