So basically BFEL a game where you run a dojo.

Lord Of The Rings: The Actually Good Video Game. Leading a party of adventurers, bearing various mind-bending and treachery-creating artifacts across the land to a volcano/chasm/pool full of frickin' sharks with frickin' laser beams, trying to keep the party from falling apart.

I'm pretty content with Lord of the Rings: The Sort-of Alright Videogames we have. Except Battle for Middle-Earth, which is terrible no matter what way you cut it.

Fuck you, battle for middle earth is great.

Just don't talk about the second one.

The sad thing is that LOTR mods for other games are typically better then LOTR games themselves. Third Age - Total War anyone?

It's been ages since I've played them but I remember rather liking the second one over the first. I think it was the whole build-walls-and-semi-castle thing. The method of sticking those slaughter pens around the map as efficiently as possible was quite annoying though.

Third Age: Total War is really impressive. The things they've been able to do, like recreating entire cities, effecting underground areas and dense forests really pushes what the engine of Medieval 2 is capable of. Tends to take a game a while to get going though, along with the usual things in Total War like Mordor getting offed early by Gondor or something.

I think I was playing a game of it a while back, though I hit a bug with an army of Ents led by Treebeard where the battle kept crashing. I should look for a fix for that.

I liked the second one more than the first one too. It let you build stuff more freely, instead of arbitarily restricting you to some pre-determined slots.

My biggest problem is that cavalry in BFME trumps everything but heroes, pikemen and other cavalry, and there's heroes and archers to deal with all of the above. Other than that it's fairly well-done, and I had quite a bit of fun with the Helm's Deep and Minas Tirith missions.

I like how LOTR BFME 2 is always read in my head as "Lord of the Rings, Buttfuck me too!"

EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

With your username, that acronym could be awkward.

Misguided or no, I loved the SNES LOTR game. Sure, it was 20 hours of Fetch Quest... but get a bunch of buddies together, and a 9-controller multitap, and you can play as the entire freakin' fellowship, doing vaguely LOTR things, like getting lost in gigantic wilderness areas, protect whoever played Frodo from bullshit Barrow Wights and venomous snakes, run from Nazgul, and spend 18 hours of IRL time arguing with your friends about how to get out of Moria, when you have no Athelas left to heal with, and half the party with mortal wounds. Oh, and Dat Permadeath. Say goodbye to your hobbits if you ain't careful.

Basically, it was a multiplayer graphical Roguelike.With some pretty sexy SNES music. I do not expect we will see a game quite like that again.

Fuck you BFMEII had some of the best multiplayer of any RTS

Never got the second one. Had a lot of fun with the first one, though, especially as Rohan. The combination of cavalry and elves was pretty amazing if used properly. The game had a bizarre capacity to fragment your hard drive, though. No idea how they managed it, but you had to defrag your hard drive after just a few hours of playing.

I played sooo much BFMEII with my friends and family over LAN. I preferred the dwarves, everyone else used elves. Every single time.
