Pros Beautiful graphics, great sound, War of the Ring mode great addition, AI is much smarter.
Cons Single player campaign mode very bland.
Recommended it? Yes

For the fans of Middle-earth (I am one of them) here comes another game for us to enjoy. With the first installment covering all three movies what could this game be about? Would it be more of an expansion game rather than a stand a lone title? What would be enough different content in this game... Read full review »

The Best Movie Licenced Game of All Time

byjohnenfield Apr 11, 2008
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros THE RTS game for Lord of the Rings fans.
Cons Medieval Total War is better if you want to pull off complex battle strategy.
Recommended it? Yes

I am a big fan of the Lord of the Rings books and movies. While the movies leave out a lot that is in the books (they had to unless they wanted to make it a TV series instead of three movies), they capture the magic and themes well.

Civ IV; Massive Entertainment Even If It's Not A Gaming Breakthrough

bybuffoonery Jun 8, 2008
60 Helpfuls 61 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fascinating and massively entertaining look at history
Cons The military system really needs improvement
Recommended it? Yes

Civilization IV is the latest iteration of the redoubtable, very profitable computer game franchise from Firaxis. Everything is bigger, better, and prettier and this game will provide many, many hours of game play. It's addictive. Really addictive. Like the Morrowind games, something I really had...

Pros Improved graphics and sound, more victory options, automates some boring stuff
Cons Memory-hoggish, problems with patches
Recommended it? Yes
