legameboy Posted December 9, 2004 Posted December 9, 2004 Who here has bought or is interested in this game? I just got it today, it's really fun stuff. It's like a mesh of Total War and Command and Conquer with a dash of originality and bucketloads of Lord of the Rings (duh). I've had a ton of fun with it. I was seducted into getting it just because of the epic battles of the Lord of the Rings. It was also my "dream" to play out those somehow. Hehe. So, what do you all think?
El Sitherino Posted December 9, 2004 Posted December 9, 2004 it's arlight, nothing great. I still prefer starcraft+expansions and Age of Empires over it. But yeah, it's an alright game. But I think if it weren't for the LOTR tag on it, it wouldn't be much of a seller.
Mike Windu Posted December 9, 2004 Posted December 9, 2004 *pats his Starcraft* Someone made a Helms Deep Map for SC. Best. Damn. Map. Evar. I would get that, but I'd rather get Rome: Total War first. Maybe BFME will magically appear under my Christmas Tree, along with a brand new computer?
Evil Dark Jedi Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 I am interested in it and may be getting it soon.

jon_hill987 Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Was thinking of geting it as it look s really good, what are the min sys spec? and would you say the spec on the box are accurate? Its going on my "games to get when i finaly get a new PC" list anyway, along with Doom 3, halflife 2, rollercoaster tycoon 3 and maybe the sims 2
El Sitherino Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Originally posted by Prime Why is it average? Just trying to avoid buying a potential dud. the gameplay was terribly redundant, and rather lacking in feel. Personally I felt very uninspired when playing. It just ... really sucked how they made the battles seem so easy even when playing on the most difficult level. Frankly I feel I'd get more excitement masturbating to a LoTR art book. *shrugs*
Doomie Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Yeah, it seems to be made in such a way that people who don't play RTS's a lot can still enjoy it. You can only build things in set places, and the amounts of different units and upgrades is fairly limited compared to, say, Warcraft 3 or something. but the combat is great, I think. You must always be careful wich unit type to use. A bunch of Uruk-Hai will get trampled by Rohirrim, but Uruks with spears will slaughter them... Also, there are many heroes to recruit, that gain abilities when they level up, and they can really make a difference. Needless to say, battles stay interesting and the tide can turn in seconds. I haven't discovered a lot of bad things about it yet, but i've only got it for, like two days, so... Anyway, if you're a LotR fan, you won't be sorry. If you're a regular RTS player, it might be fun, though a little different from the rest. Oh, i think it looks great by the way.
Joe© Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 I've been waiting a long time for this game, but longer still, I can't bring myself to pay 50$ for a new game even if it is good. i'll wait till after xmas and see if I don't have it then
legameboy Posted December 10, 2004 Author Posted December 10, 2004 I felt terrible when I bought this and forgot the fact that I still haven't bought Rome: Total War yet. Bring on the Christmas money!
Joe© Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 boy I wish I could by both! I be waiting for KotOR: II though, it is going to be a major hash out the night I buy that game chin up! good games on the way!
swphreak Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 I've been playing it nonstop for 2 days. I enjoyed Generals and Zero Hour, so I knew I'd like BFME. The Nazgul rock and Gandalf is a god
