Yay! an RTS finally works well on a console! I got the game last night and need to offer a important tip: go through the tutorial. While it may seem like a no brainer, here is the real tip: to find the tutorial, scroll left on the D-pad from Single Player->Tutorials. If you just jump in to the single player, you

When you get comments and scores that are between the two extremes, what do you do? Well, thats what Microsoft Marketplace is all about. Download the demo and see for yourself just how good this game is. It may not be for everyone. I personally hate RPG's. But I have a soft spot for RTS games. And the first RTS for Xbox 360 is a winner.

After you get used to the controls and start to master it, it's really a unique experience! I would have to recommend this to anyone willing to get used to it.

Awesome game, the multiplayer modes rock!

After reading a lot of the media reviews, I was kind of skeptical about buying this title. However I had a copy of OverG Fighters itching to be returned. I was concerned about all the comments about the frame rate drops during large scale battles, not as big a problem as I had expected. My only real dissappointment was the shadows in the game are pre-N64ish. A whole large tree's shadow has a poly count of around 25. I had alot of fun playing this game. Im only on the third mission, but lots of fun. I reccomend not skipping over the tutorial on this one though. The controlls work well, obviously not as well as a PC, but very well. There should have been a way to map out some of the controlls to using a keyboard or even mouse. Oh well, maybe next time.… Expand

WOW! This game rocks! I have not played RTS games before but this one was very easy to play. I have not had this much fun since Oblivion. Definately add this game to your collection!

This game REALLY does it for me - the best thing since command and conquer & Red alert 2 :) LOVE IT

Take it from me the game is good and it deserves a nine but anyone who would dare rate any lord of the rings game below a 6 or 60 is craz. Long live Tolkien and Peter J.

Best Game Ever!!!!

This game is a fine example of how an RTS WILL work on a console. If you love action, strategy, and wonderful graphics, do yourself a favor and pick up this game.

Wow. This game rocks. So hard. I've been playing it all night online. Big ups to EA. I know what I'm doing for the rest of the summer.

anyone who says this game is bad is ****ed. Because the fact that EA took a RTS game and put it on to the console succesfully, and managed to even surpass the pc version is awsome. And to those of you who disagree, especial the fag that said it was trip, i say get ****ed

Excellent RTS for a console. Cant put this one down, multiplayer is a blast.

This game rocks.

Just like its PC brethren, mediocre at best. The game-play is your standard fair generic RTS. For PC fans, you come to expect this, for console fans it might be appealing. The game-play is nothing to cry home about as the first Lord of the Rings was a much better game. I guess I was expecting some more refined controls like Pikmin, but it is very obvious BFME 2 360 was not designed by Shigeru Miyamoto. The controls feel clunky and compared to the PC unintuitive. I guess that's why RTS games are just better suited for the PC. The only thing this game really has going for it is XBOX live, but after a while that gets boring. Stay away from this stinker if you own the PC version. If you want to try something different think long and hard before wasting $60 bucks, last time I'll buy an EA RTS on the console. I'll give it a 1 just because the graphics are ok.… Expand

I dont think Henry even played the game. Almost everything he said is completely wrong? This game is miles better than the first version and the intuitive control systym makes it completely playable on console. Well done EA for not taking the short way round. Great game.

I loved this game - the selection controls were very good, and the graphics were top-notch. With a 5.1 surround system the sounds come from all around and really help you identify what's just off-screen. Only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because of the pauses in gameplay (texture loads?) that cause the framerate to stutter. Seems to only happen at the beginning of levels but they could do better. Maybe they should use one of the other CPU cores to do the loading in the background?… Expand

I am glad to see that RTS games are coming back to the console, the last one I played was Command and Conquer for the PS1. This game is visually amazing, the controls are easy to master, yet there is so many things you can do. Playing as either good or evil is nice, as well as being able to train air units. It can be tedious to set up squads, but you don't even have to use them. Excellent game if you like RTS's.… Expand

This is a cool game. I love it. I can not stop playing it. Thanks for making it.

You people obviously didn't play the same pile of tripe that i wasted my money on.

It's great to have an awesome RTS on 360.

What a complete load of rubbish,a total disappointment in my opinion.

Awesome. I can't believe how easy it is to control and the multiplayer is a blast. Totally pick this up if you are into RTS and love your 360!
