Erwin writes: This PC game is not for hardcore Tolkien fans. This action, real-time strategy game by Electronic Arts’ Los Angeles studios does not only rewrite the whole history of Middle Earth, it also allows Evil to triumph over Good. In this version of Middle Earth’s history, Boromir survives the assault by the Uruk-hai in the Breaking of the Fellowship episode. He goes on to fight more Orcs and Uruk-hai, killing its head, Lurtz, in the process. Or you can rewrite what was rewritten and have Lurtz deal a big blow to the Fellowship and send the Hobbits back to Shire. So if you’re expecting to play another Lord of the Rings franchise game, this will definitely disappoint you, folks. [More]
