    4.0 out of 5 stars excellent expansion
    Reviewed in Canada on July 28, 2009
    Before I bought this game, i borrowed it from a friend, just to get a feel as to whether i would enjoy the expansion or not. I quickly realized that it would be a great expansion so i decided to buy it.

    The new faction featured in this game, Angmar, is a very fun and creative faction to play as.
    The updated war of the ring skirmish is much better than the original, putting to use money instead of command points (resulting in an unlimited amount of soldiers able to be built).

    These are but a few great additions included in this expansion, so dont miss out on this one, in my opinion.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to get at a reasonable price
    Reviewed in Canada on March 8, 2019
    This is a great exapnasion to the Battle for Middle Earth II

    It seems that EA is no longer allowed to produce the game as they apparently don't own the rights to Lord of the Rings games anymore.

    So the supply is very limited and the prices are much higher than the original list price. Same can be said for BFME II.

    The game case that it came in was still perfectly sealed and everything, it must have taken damage during transit bc there was a little dent in it but overall it was all fine and perfect. Installed fast and without an issue.

    This is a great addition to your Lord of the Rings Middle Earth Game, but is not worth the price they are selling it now. Under 30 dollars is worth it but otherwise is a waste of money. Wait a month or 2 for it to go down in price.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good expansion for a classic game
    Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2006

    This is an expansion pack that does what all expansions should do: it improves upon the original game and adds new content. While RotWK does not revolutionize the basic gameplay of BFME2, it is a worthwhile addition.

    Gameplay: The expansion simply adds more to the intense, visually stunning RTS that is BFME2. The single-player campaign introduces the story of the Witch-king's rise to power and allows you to play the bad guys, which is fun in this instance. There are 8 mission, plus an epilogue that allows you to play the kingdom of Arnor (a carbon copy of Men of the West). The campaign, at least on normal difficulty, can be quite hard in places, and you might be surprised to find yourself repeating a few of the missions. Overall, it is an adequate diversion, which will take about 5-6 hours to complete.

    The create-a-hero system is much improved. Now, you can create your own in-game avatar using a power-purchasing system that makes sense and will allow for some diversity in the game. You can make a "cheap" hero, who can be afforded during the early game, or make an expensive one that will almost rival Sauron. A few new powers have been added, along with a troll class and some more clothing/armor options. Truthfully, the new power-purchasing system should have been added with a patch, so that people with the original game could receive this fix. In any event, the new system here is much welcomed and makes player-made heroes more balanced and interesting.

    The best improvement of the original gameplay comes with the changes to the War of the Ring (WotR) mode. Now, the armies that you create in the RTS skirmishes carry over to the strategic map and can be moved around with your 4 heroes. There is an upkeep cost that keeps this army persistence feature from getting out of hand. Also, you can build more things from the strategic map, such as siege maps and unit upgrades. Finally, the AI plays a bit smarter. For example, it will retreat when it is losing a fight. Also, AI opponents put up a better fight than before and will build walls occasionally. The WotR mode also has about 10 new territories added to it.

    The major addition to the game is the new Angmar faction, led by the Witch-king. It is a mixture of fallen men, trolls, and sorcerers. It's distinctive enough to be truly considered a separate race. The most fun unit is the thrallmaster, who can summon a squad of units on the fly to fit most any situation. The sorcerers are interesting too, but fragile and require some close micromanagement. Angmar's heroes are decent, with the Witch-king and Rogash (a powerful troll) being the best ones. Each of the existing races get a couple new units, including an elite "mini-hero" horde, which is not always worth the high cost (compared to just recruiting a new hero from the fortress).

    Graphics: Basically the same as BFME2, which is to say that they are quite good. On a good computer, you'll be able to enjoy some beautiful textures, convincing unit animations, weather effects, and other nice graphics.

    Sound: The music is based on the movie soundtrack, which is great. Voice acting is pretty decent. As with BFME2, the ambient sounds, unit acknowledgements, and combat audio are well done.

    Stability/technical issues: The game has been quite stable on my machine. I used to get a crash or two on the WotR strategic map, but no more. The manual does a decent job explaining the new faction and improvements to gameplay.

    Replayability/Value: With the improved create-a-hero system, more persistent armies in the War of the Ring Mode, new units for existing races, and the new Angmar faction, this expansion gives the original game even more longevity. The single-player campaign, though a challenge, is largely forgettable. However, it's the skirmishes and the WotR strategic game (finally fixed!) that will keep you coming back to this great game.

    It is a great game and I am sorry to hear that EA stopped supporting it :(

    But still enjoyable when playing through network or other option client tunnel such as Hamachi servers.

    Good luck guys.
