Lord of the Rings is a very successful series in terms of both revenue and audience favorite. The film was released from 2001 to 2003; this series has achieved a lot of different successes. The success of the film is unique, without any name that can surpass what the film has achieved. Technically, it has won 16 different Oscars in various fields, and the last part, The Return Of The King, has won 11 awards. Not only that, but in the commercial field, the series also has been an astonishing success when it earned $ 2.9 billion worldwide. So it’s uncommon for it to be adapted into a game for players to experience. There are not only one but also many different titles that have been released for players to experience. One of the most highly rated games is Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II – released in 2004. In many games adapted from other movies, it does not succeed because it doesn’t spread the best of the film. But this is an exception to the success beyond expectations because of what has been too great.
When coming to the game, the player will be able to choose one of the two storylines to be able to experience the game; the two stories are Dark campaign and Light campaign, respectively. If you select the Light campaign, you will play Glorfindel – a member of the Elrond council and Gloin – Gimli’s father, against Sauron’s monster army. But if you choose the Dark campaign mode, the player will accompany Goblins King and Mouth of Sauron to march to conquer the world. Each has a different character and a mode for players to experience.
It seems that the AI of the game is not as good as in the first part of the game, so it is not difficult for players to complete the game. But in return, there is a new thing that was launched is War of the Ring for players to experience. This game is much harder to challenge the player. When coming to this mode, the player will be able to explore the whole Middle-earth world with a turn-based style.
