I must say that I find it quite unfair that only bad review describe this game. The game is an absolute must for every strategy fan. If you still Lord of the Rings - is a fan, the game is sure to buy. Not for nothing get this game in almost every gaming magazine bomb ratings. - The game is very well balanced, meaning it is ideally suited for multiplayer in sSports To be a great atmosphere in this game, what makes you think one actually Heermeister in Middle Earth - - Many units - Very nice long campaign - Ultimate graphics - THX - Sound - Good control - Variable camera - Weltenabauer ----> The game is really great. I've been playing ever since it came out and am still propagated excited. However, everything has a hook - and in this game there are the hardware requirements. That's why I can understand the negative reviews, because their authors are probably plagued with very bad computers. Minimum for a good playing experience in my opinion are: - Processor 2000 MHz - GeForce Ti 4200 or Radeon 9000 - 512 MB RAM - For Internet: Dual ISDN - DVD drive ^^ Who that is happy. ;)
