Lotr Battle for middle earth - beaten
Looks the business.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it'll be a fun pop tactics kind of game, but EA don't show the same kind or skill when it comes to strategy games as Creative Assembly do with theirs.

Ah yes [URL]http://www.gamershell.com/pc/the_lord_of_the_rings_the_battle_for_middle_earth/screenshots.html?id=24[/URL] [URL]http://www.totalwar.com/community/rp11.htm[/URL] uncanny.
Still, doubtful you'll be able to amass troops that can number in the thousands, Total War's battlefields can muster up to 10,000 units on screen at once, and if that isn't the most impressive spectacle in gaming history then I don't know what is.
Again, BFME looks like a fun, light weight RTS, the kind I'd expect from a developer who put aside innovation for a quick buck, but I remain unimpressed.
