The Review (By Jack098):
Game Play: The game play is one of the best principles I have ever played. Never have I had the game shut
down or freeze. true, there are some glitches now & then but that is to be expected of such an old game. The actual game
its self is really good and there is nothing that needs changing. You find yourself immersed in a new world and never
want to stop playing.
Graphics: Very similar to Age of Empires. Simple but yet effective. Nothing to mind blowing but no glitches
or mistakes. It works well with the sound effects (see below).
Sound: As I said earlier the sound and graphics work well together. The sound effects are the best bit
about the game and there are no mistakes. The men all speak differently and it works really well.
Story: The campaign is good and, unlike LotR:BME, the missions are not at all repetitive or similar in any way. Each mission for either Good or Bad is unique in its own unique
way. It doesn't get boring either.
Multiplayer: The best thing (apart from sound). It supports up to 8players in a huge variety of battles and
maps. The only problem comes when players are on dial up. It slows the game down and faster players get 'lag' which spoiles
the game.
Overall: 77% One of the PC classics. Well worth every penny.
