The trilogy for replay

When I bought 'The Battle for Middle Earth', I was a little skeptical because I was not yet clear how well EA Games had packed the story, as a reader of books and owner of the trilogy in the Special Extended Version is this to me only too well known. When I then played the first record I was pleasantly surprised. The story is very well reproduced. Excellent GamePlay a la Warcraft III and Dawn of War have been used with positive adjustments. Added to this is the brilliant soundtrack from the movie, as well as the original voices from the film in dt. Translation. What I particularly find that you can also play the game from the other point of view, from the perspective of Sauron and Saroman and can give the whole a new end, opposite the film.
The only thing I would complain because I have to agree with the previous speaker, the differences and nuances between the hero is not in order. For example: Ghandalf is a magician, yet does more melee damage than Aragorn because can not agree something. EA has already announced but since rectification.
Regarding the hardware is this to say, I did it on three different. Systems tested and found that to get the full benefit only with newer systems, especially with a newer graphics card. It is also on weaker systems playable (for me it was a 933 MHz with ner GF FX) but you have to then cut back. Min 512 MB RAM empfeheln, but I would 1024MB RAM, as this significantly reduces effective charge times.
Conclusion:
EA Games has given the trilogy with this game a dignified conclusion and the user / gamer given the opportunity again to relive the story itself and to re-experience on the side of 'dark forces'. A game that should not be missed under any Christmas tree. (Who can wait until then, I also wanted to get a taste only once and then have it directly 5h. Gambled at a time). Buy Buy Buy ... and the long winter evenings are saved.
